SMART MOTORISED SHADING



I think by now we have all heard about awnings that provide shade for your outdoor space. Some are manually operated and others by remote control.

However, awnings can now be operated through your smartphone if you would like or they can operate automatically based on the time of day and the position of the sun. Giving you the right amount of shade when needed.

Now if you want an outdoor living suite including bar and grill, why not top it off with a TV that you don't have to haul outside, then to return inside if the weather changes. All your football games, cricket games and whatever else right in your yard?



Technology never ceases to amaze me. It just keeps getting better and better. As I said before if you have not been motivated to live on the outdoors, I hope one or two things on this list has changed your mind!
