Explore Lowes Indoor Outdoor Curtains for Versatile & Stylish Options

Outdoor curtains extend living spaces beyond four walls by defining and enhancing patios, porches, and pool areas with style and functionality. These specialized drapes are crafted from weather-resistant fabrics like Sunbrella or solution-dyed polyester that withstand sun exposure, moisture, and temperature fluctuations without fading or mildewing. Outdoor curtains serve multiple purposes—providing shade during hot summer days, creating privacy screens from neighbors, and adding softness to hard architectural surfaces. Many feature weighted hems or tie-backs to secure them against breezes, with options for both stationary and retractable installations. The best outdoor curtains incorporate UV protection and water-repellent treatments for extended durability in harsh conditions. Available in solid colors, stripes, or subtle patterns, they can coordinate with existing outdoor furniture or serve as striking focal points. These curtains transform ordinary outdoor structures into luxurious extensions of interior living spaces, offering protection from sun and wind while maintaining open-air enjoyment. Whether framing a pergola, enclosing a porch, or dividing poolside areas, outdoor curtains blend practical shelter with aesthetic appeal.

Backyard ideas

See how I made some really inexpensive PVC pipe curtain rods to hold long, sheer porch curtains for around $15. After getting all the supplies at Lowe’s, I was able to measure, cut, and install the outdoor curtain rods and hang the curtain panels on my front porch in about 1 hour myself. They are holding up perfectly (even after storms and heavy gusts of wind). And they look great!

My HOUSE!!

As I sit in my screened-in-porch this lovely Sunday evening with a light breeze and curtains blocking the heat of the sun, I thought I should share another DIY project I recently finished up. I may have mentioned before, but I will again. This past spring my husband and I had a screened-in-porch added to our home. I’ve been working hard to furnish and decorate the space with projects like Bianca the Bench and Porch Coffee Table with Built-in Cooler. We love our new porch. Although, we do not love how close our porch is to our neighbors outdoor area. Oh don’t get me wrong, I love our neighbors, however, a little privacy would be nice. We knew what we were getting into when we purchased a new home in a densely populated area outside of DC. Additionally, when the sun sets, the lights pours into the porch from this side and is blinding. So I had plenty of reason to purchase outdoor curtains for our new porch. I even invested in the fancy, real outdoor curtains that are fade resistant, water resistant, machine washable… basically indestructible. I plan to use the curtains year after year. I did purchase the curtains on sale and with a coupon but they still were not cheap. Then the time came to figure out how I would hang the curtains. I was determined to find a cheaper way to create an outdoor rod than these expensive rods, since I needed about 50 ft to cover the perimeter of the porch. After significant pinterest research and a trip to the hardware store, I found a solution and developed a plan = PVC Pipe. I found this site helpful for the rod brackets. I’ll start with the brackets. Below is my list of material: EMT 1-1/4 in. 1-Hole Strap (4-Pack) $2.00 Everbilt 4 in. Corner Braces (4-Pack) $7.24 (Rust Resistant for outdoor use) Everbilt round head combo, 1/4 in – 20 x 5/8 in 5 pack, which I can’t seem to find online but I assure you were less than $2. Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch 2X Flat White General Purpose Spray Paint $3.87 So for about $15 + Tax, I created 4 brackets in the color of my choice! Full disclosure, the corner braces did come with screws. However, I did purchase 1.5\
