Also known as instant shades, portable shades are structures which are designed to be easily carried around and can provide a user with instant shade on the fly. They are generally lighter than their fixed counterparts, as a result can be a bit more flimsy and easy to break. However, this is compensated by the fact that portable shades can be stored in small spaces and assembled with a minimum of effort.

Portable shades are used for many of the same reasons one would use fixed shades except that they are more versatile in that they can be brought from place to place. The majority of casual use is for recreational purposes, at such events as beach or block parties where people spend extended time outdoors but not near any building structures. Recreational use can also happen at home perhaps when many guests are invited over. Moreover, portables are used for business reasons.

In what follows we describe a few kinds of instant and portable shades for different kinds of purposes.

Normal awnings are composed of a fixed or retractable frame upon which shade cloth can be stretched and then mounted over a door or window. In a similar fashion bamboo roll up blinds help educe energy costs by preventing solar radiation from passing through the window. The awning then blocks not only light for those who are standing immediately under the awning, but also those who are near the window or door and are inside the house. Similarly, portable awnings are composed of a frame over which a fabric is stretched except the frame is on wheels and thus can be positioned where ever desired.

Many people find that pool use necessitates outdoor shades of some sort except in the least sunny climates. The canonical shade for the pool is the outdoor umbrella. But the umbrella has several limitations, some of which center around their shape, the obtrusive table underneath, or the incomplete shading from the side. As such, portable pool cabanas have been developed which provide more privacy for one or two people. They are like small changing rooms, or perhaps can be accommodated to seat a few people.

The outdoor canopy is typically a medium to massive structure that can house dozens of people at once. Placed onto a patio it becomes a deck canopy. It is supported by strong steel poles, a system of ropes to hold the wall and room fabric together. The portable canopy is much simpler, consisting of four poles, an overhead frame and a top fabric piece only. This makes it easy to carry around and many businesses use them when the sales force is out on the streets and need shelter. The top fabric can serve as an advertisement with the company’s logo.

Portables do not have to be static structures assembled and dissembled all the time. The portable umbrella is mounted onto a metal frame or hitch that is affixed to a vehicle. This is very convenient if the users are constantly moving from spot to spot in a vehicle and need quick assembly of an outdoor shade. Tailgate party goers may find this portable shade to be most useful.
