Retractable side curtains finish the job a shade canopy starts. The canopy handles the mid-day sun overhead; the side curtains block the low sun of early morning and late afternoon, along with wind and the neighbors' view. Roll one down when you need it, roll it back up when you don't.
Pairs with our retractable shade canopy
Add side curtains to the Manual Triple-Track Retractable Shade Canopy for a pergola with a fully retractable roof and sides. Send us a few photos or measurements of your structure and we'll plan both together.
Simple manual operation: each curtain is guided by stainless steel cables and raised or lowered with a hand crank. No motor, wiring or remote to fail.
Full top-to-bottom coverage: the curtain covers the full height of the opening to block low-angle sun, and the dense, semi-transparent outdoor fabric still lets you see out.
Built to last: stainless steel fasteners and powder-coated brackets, with fabric that is strong, durable and easy to clean.
Built to order for your opening: choose a width from 8' to 18' per curtain, and each curtain is made to fit the height of your pergola, pavilion or gazebo opening. Need one on each side? Order one curtain per opening. Wider openings can be split into two curtains.
Colors: five solid colors (Stucco, Black, Navy Pier, Burlap, Metallica Smoke) and two striped patterns (Dakota Stripe Clay, Dakota Stripe Blueprint). Fabric samples are available on request, since colors on a screen are never exact.
Side Curtain FAQ
Will it fit my pergola or pavilion?
Yes. Each curtain is built to the width and height of your opening, including older or non-standard structures. Send us photos and measurements and we'll confirm the fit before anything is made.
How many curtains do I need?
One per side you want to cover. Most people start with the side that gets the late-afternoon sun. Openings wider than 18' are usually split into two curtains.
How does it operate?
Turn the hand crank to roll the curtain down or up. Stainless steel guide cables keep it straight and in place.
Can I add it to a retractable canopy?
Yes. Side curtains are designed to pair with our retractable shade canopy for a fully retractable roof and sides. See real canopy projects we've planned with customers.
How long does it take?
Each curtain is built to order and ships by freight, typically in about 5–6 weeks.
