Sunroofs for summer houses play an important role in your outdoor recreation. On hot summer days, keeping the outdoors cool can be a challenge. Your backyard may come equipped with a patio, pool or beautiful garden, but without good shade it can be quite uncomfortable to stay in on the hottest days.
If you are looking for a temporary solution for shading a specific area of your garden, take a look at some DIY dome ideas that you can put together quickly.
Creative sun sails
You may have everything you need to install an awning. Just look around the house. What you really need is a fairly large piece of fabric, a few sticks or pillars, something to use as a base, a few tools, and additional materials like cord or rope.
Stretch suitable fabric or canvas for the awning and add plants for decoration
Here is another interesting project that includes tubes for hanging reeds or sheets as a parasol.
For fun and relaxation, use straw netting to provide shade
Use vintage milk cans to protect the canopy from the sun
Do you have large plastic containers? Use them repeatedly to create a nice little shaded area in your garden as you see it.
Reusing old containers as the base of your dome
Some of the above ideas are great, but they don’t involve strong wind and rain. If you want, you can reinforce the shed by driving sticks and posts into the ground and tying everything to the wall or building with rope.
Attach the canopy to adjacent walls or buildings with rope to resist wind

Awnings are a great solution. You can order these sails from Amazon or buy them at a hardware store. An example from The Garden Glove shows how you can replace a patio umbrella with an awning.
Awnings are so popular because they simply provide the shade you need.
