Most people host graduation parties outdoors, which is especially appropriate considering that the COVID-19 pandemic is not over yet. When hosting an outdoor gathering, you will have to think about lots of details, from food to music to seating. However, it’s equally important to consider how you might protect your guests from UV rays.
The sun can cause significant damage to the skin and body but also can lead to dehydration and other internal issues that can plague your guests and ruin your party. Installing sun protection such as solar screens, patio shades, and porch screens can ensure that your guests have the opportunity to sit comfortably in the shade and don’t have to choose between suffering UV damage and going home.
In many cases, graduation parties present a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the beginning of summer-evening weather. Here in the Midwest, the humidity is low at the beginning of the summer, and evenings are pleasant. Many graduates and their families opt to use their graduation parties to socialize around a bonfire later into the nighttime. However, with the inevitable summer bugs and pests, keeping guests comfortable in the evenings can be tricky. Many screens keep pests away without using harmful chemicals or off-putting bug spray and ensure that you can enjoy the summer breeze without mosquito bites.
For many homeowners, graduation parties indicate a forthcoming empty nest. With more time and resources at your disposal, it may be time to look at home upgrades that can improve your life beyond the graduation party. If you are considering installing screens or shades for your grad party guests, you should understand your options and how your investment can benefit you all summer long. Retractable screens are a recognizable and classic option for those looking for a simple, manual solution to their UV and pest issues. If you are looking to upgrade your home and enhance your smart features, motorized screens may be a valid option. Motorized options allow you to control your shades and screens without having to maneuver them physically. Many of these screens can be placed on timers, so you never have to worry about the sun fading your furniture. With so many technological advances in this area, it’s easy to turn a grad party perk into an investment that will last for years to come.
There is still time to make sure that your patio, porch, and yard are ready for your graduate’s big day by installing your home’s new screens and shades sooner rather than later.
