A patio cover is a shade structure built to provide protection from the sun and other outdoor elements. It can be built right off the back door, which will act as an extension of your indoor living space. Perhaps over the outdoor kitchen area. Not only will a patio cover offer you relief from the sun, but it can also add a stylish touch to the outdoor space.
A patio cover will allow you to create fabulous destination spots and a more comfortable environment for dining, lounging, and cooking in your outdoor kitchen as well as areas for relaxing by a fire pit or fireplace.
The size of patio covers depends on the area you wish to protect and shade. The roof can be constructed with lattice, which allows light to filter through or solid, which will block all light, rain, and snow. Roofs can also be built with other materials like wood or shingles, to match the home’s architecture.
