Worth knowing for Michigan: this is a Great Lakes continental climate, which means lake-effect humidity, cold winters, and a short but intense outdoor season. A well-spec'd outdoor shade for this region should account for the local wind exposure (moderate to high near the lakes) and UV load (moderate) — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation. Estimating in the winter of 2024 is typical for Michigan — most outdoor shade installations book in the shoulder months, when installer availability is better and material lead times shorten to 3–6 weeks.
