At Bumble Bee Blinds of Northern Colorado, we solve these problems with custom outdoor shades tailored to your unique space.

We bring the showroom to you. See fabrics, colors, and styles right where they will be installed. Our team handles everything, from precise measuring to professional installation, so you can simply sit back and enjoy the shade.

Transform Your Outdoor Spaces

Your patio should feel like an extension of your living room, not an area you avoid. With the right outdoor window shades, your deck, porch, or storefront becomes a comfortable retreat all day long.

We specialize in solutions for local challenges:

• West-Facing Patios: Block intense evening sun without losing your view of the foothills.
• Exposed Decks: Add privacy from neighbors while maintaining airflow.
• Wind Protection: Durable systems designed to withstand Fort Collins’ gusty weather.

Because every project is made-to-order, we tailor the size, color, and hardware to your architecture. Whether you need sleek roller shades for a modern balcony or traditional blinds for a classic porch, we ensure the result looks intentional and polished.

Our Outdoor Blinds Service & Installation Process

We keep the process straightforward and stress-free.

1. Free On-Site Consultation

We visit your home or business to discuss your goals. We look at how you use the space, identify sun and wind patterns, and review product samples together.

2. Precise Measuring

We take laser-accurate measurements of every opening. This prevents common issues like gaps or crooked mounts, ensuring your shades fit perfectly and operate smoothly.

3. Clear Proposal & Visualizer

You receive a detailed quote with no hidden fees. We also use visualizer tools to help you preview how different fabrics and colors will look in your actual home before you buy.

4. Professional Installation

Once your custom shades are ready, our installers arrive with all necessary hardware. We install, test, and adjust each shade to ensure effortless operation. We don’t leave until you know exactly how to use and care for your new system.

Built for Fort Collins Weather

Outdoor products here must stand up to high-altitude sun, rapid temperature swings, and strong winds. We don’t sell generic “big box” shades. We recommend:

• Durable Fabrics: Materials that resist fading and tearing under UV exposure.
• Secure Hardware: Side tracks or cable guide systems to keep shades stable during breezy days.
• Seasonal Versatility: Solutions that can be fully retracted to let in the warming winter sun or deployed to block the summer heat.
