For years, my garage was just a hot box—a place I'd open, feel the wall of heat, and quickly shut again. That space was mine, but it didn't feel like it belonged to me.
Then came the Apollo Garage Power Shade in Fabric-95 Tumbleweed.

The Tumbleweed fabric caught my eye immediately. It's that perfect neutral—warm like desert sand at sunset, earthy without being dull. The kind of color that doesn't shout but makes everything feel more intentional. And with 95% sun protection, my garage could finally breathe without turning into an oven.
I remember pressing that remote button for the first time. The quiet hum, the smooth descent—suddenly, my garage wasn't just a garage anymore. The harsh sunlight was replaced by a beautiful, filtered glow. No more blasting heat, just a gentle breeze and perfect balance.
I stood there taking it in. My son walked by and asked, "Dad, why are you staring at the garage?" It was hope I was staring at—the hope of possibility.
That garage has become my sanctuary. I do yoga there some mornings. My wife uses it for her pottery wheel. We've even hosted small gatherings—friends, music, the Tumbleweed shade providing privacy while keeping everything open and airy.
One touch of the remote, and my space transforms. That forgotten square footage has become where life happens.

Installing the Garage Power Shade wasn't just about blocking sun or keeping bugs out. It was about reclaiming a part of my home that had been surrendered to discomfort. The Tumbleweed color blends beautifully with my home's exterior, and that 95% heat reduction? It's the difference between a space I avoid and one I seek out.
If you've got a garage that's become just a place to park, I'm here to tell you—with the right shade, that space can become so much more. It can become yours again.
And sometimes, that's the best renovation of all.
