Create More Shade In Your Yard With
This Budget Material
By ROBYN TURK
Anyone with a sunshine-filled backyard knows that there is a downside to having too much sun. Luckily, you can easily create instant shade by using some corrugated aluminum.
Corrugated aluminum is available in various colors and patterns to suit any type of decor. Plus, the durable material is perfect for creating a privacy screen or pergola roof.
This versatile material can be bought from Lowe’s for under $20 and installed using only a screw gun or a drill. If you need to cut the metal down to size, be sure to wear gloves.
If DIY isn’t your thing, you can buy pre-assembled corrugated aluminum screens from Wayfair or Lowe’s. Since they are made from slats rather than sheets, they are prone to denting.
