Outdoor shades made from bamboo will all be slightly different in color and texture, because they are a natural product.
Bamboo shades create a soft, filtered light, rather than complete shade from the sun, as the small gaps between the bamboo slats allow some sunlight to slip through.
Bamboo shades offer a variety of styles and appearances: the bamboo woven into blinds can be in the form of round canes, square or flat-cut slices.
Bamboo shades add a tropical theme to outdoor décor. They are reminiscent of East Asia, Hawaii and other tropical island nations, where bamboo is widely grown and utilized.
Because bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world, its production is less harmful to the environment than wood production. This makes bamboo shades more environmentally friendly than wooden shades.
Bamboo is lightweight and durable, so even large bamboo shades do not require heavy-duty hardware to hold them up, and they will last a long time outdoors.
