Worth knowing for California: this is a Mediterranean / coastal climate, which means mild coastal temperatures inland heat, and salt-air corrosion near the coast. A well-spec'd outdoor shade for this region should account for the local wind exposure (moderate, with sundowner and Santa Ana events in southern regions) and UV load (high UV at altitude and in inland valleys) — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation. Estimating in the summer of 2023 is typical for California — most outdoor shade installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
