What is the difference between a canopy and a sunshade?
1 Answer

The difference between a canopy and a sunshade is in the setup. A canopy is a covering attached to a freestanding structure, such as a frame or a pergola, so it can be placed in different locations to suit one’s needs. Sunshades generally attach to a permanent structure, such as a wall, window or roof. Shop a diverse assortment of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.
