Outdoor Bench - Rotating Sun Screen?

[mcman56]

I have a bench outside of the garage man door that is used for particularly dirty or smelly work. Location is nice because air line and power cord reach but sun is brutal. Throughout the day it basically travels right over the bench in summer. I had one of those pop up type covers but there was no protection when the sun was low in the sky and big winds were a concern. I can envision a sun screen/ roof that could go over the bench but be above to rotate forward and backward as the sun moves.....sort of like solar panels tracking the sun but manual. Has anyone seen anything like that or have another recommendation? Unfortunately, the area is in the shade all winter so the ability to take down the "roof" or rotate it out of position is desirable.

Get you one of the patio table umbrellas and attach to the bench from box store , they make them in several sizes , 10' would probably work well . The phone companies , electric etc ...use large umbrellas for their offsite service work , might find something like that online.

They make an umbrella like that. It will rotate down low to block the early morning and late afternoon sun. Mi am
On my phone so not sure how to search, copy and paste a link. It has a pulley like assemble that raises and lowers the umbrella arm.

Go to amazon and search Giantex 10 sun shade umbrella to get an idea.

The one my patents had a mounting brave that you could put pavers on it to hold it down

Most any better quality patio umbrella will have a joint, allowing you to tilt it.

Create mounting points at different ends or corners of your bench and move as the sun does.
