What is a patio cover?

A patio cover is a shade structure that is attached to the roof of your home and supported by two columns or posts on the other end. It provides shade and/or rain coverage for a patio or deck. The roof of a patio cover can be either solid or open, depending on the level of privacy you require. Patio covers are often confused with pergolas, which are freestanding structures with an open roof that is supported by columns or posts. The word pergola has come to be used interchangeably with patio cover.

What are the befits of a patio cover?

Patio covers are a great way to increase the value of your property and make your outdoor living space more functional. Here are some benefits of patio covers that you might find useful:

1. Cost-effective: Patio covers are available in the market at different price points. Aluminum patio covers are an excellent example of this. The structures made of aluminum are resilient to the environment, durable, and sustainable. Besides, this extra expense will be justified when you have this seasonal area turned into an all-season hangout space.

2. Lower the heat: Patio covers save your space from the summer heat and keep your house cooler, reducing your electricity usage too. If your outdoor space is east or west facing, the covered patio acts as an additional barrier between the sunrays and the rest of your house, maintaining a lower temperature inside.

3. Protect your furniture: The outdoor elements and weather exposure damage your furniture and decor, and the aesthetics disappear after a while, leaving your patio looking like an abandoned dwelling. By adding patio covers and enclosures, you can extend the lifespan of your outdoor accessories. Since it blocks rain, direct sun rays, and harsh weather elements, your furniture remains safe and lasts long.

4. Expand your living space: Patio covers give you extra space to relax, enjoy evening coffee, and arrange parties. But at times, when you have to cancel plans or stay indoors due to extreme heat or thunderstorms, this additional space remains of no use. Why not rather make it functional in all seasons and enjoy nature in all kinds of weather? Patio covers do that for you.

5. Increase your property’s value: A patio cover can add an elegant feel to the outside of your home and increase your property’s value.

6. Protection from the elements: With a patio cover, you won’t have to worry about rainy weather ruining your plans. You can still eat, relax, or entertain on your patio without getting wet. It also provides additional screening against harmful UV rays in the summer, making your patio weather-resistant in almost any season.

7. Energy savings: Patio covers keep your house cooler, reducing your electricity usage too.
