Patio Covers For the Gold Coast

The right patio cover can add a touch of luxury to your outdoor area. Whether it’s an awning or pergola, you can choose from many design options to fit your space.

For example, a simple wood-slat structure like this one from Resolution: 4 Architecture is ideal for keeping out the sun without blocking the view or obstructing breezes. To keep the area feeling light and airy, Horchow rugs and colorful throw pillows help balance out the structure.

Insulated Patio Kits

The insulated patio kit from Renaissance Patio Products features a roof panel design that is a good option for second-story homes. It has aluminum skin on both sides and a foam core, which provides insulation. The panels interlock and snap together, ensuring a watertight, structural connection. The panel edges feature the look of 8’’ board planking, while the underside is embossed with an Alumawood cedar grain texture.

The kit also includes a gutter system and downspouts, which collect rainwater and shed it away from the cover. This eliminates the need to shingle or stain your new patio cover, and it saves you money on maintenance costs over the years.

Aside from offering shade, insulated covers help moderate the temperature in the area underneath them. This makes them much more comfortable to spend time in during the scorching summer months and can reduce your energy costs. They can also conceal electrical cabling for ceiling lights and fans, which is an added benefit.

Pergolas

Pergolas add value to your home and create an inviting and hospitable space for outdoor living. They also offer protection from the sun and can be covered with drapes, latticework, or screens for privacy.

Wooden pergolas are traditionally constructed from weather-resistant western red cedar (Thuja plicata) or, formerly, coast redwood. They can be painted or stained for a beautiful color accent that matches your backyard design. Contemporary materials like vinyl, fiberglass, aluminum, and chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) can also be used to create a pergola. These options are less expensive and require little to no yearly maintenance.

A pergola’s traditional lattice-form gives it part shade and part sun shelter. If you would like more shade, you can build an additional cover or allow climbing plants and vines to fill the gaps between the rafters. Open rafter pergolas can also be covered with a retractable shade cloth for complete sun protection.

Wooden Structures

The right wooden structure can add style and function to any yard. The variety of structures available makes it easy to find the perfect addition for your home and lifestyle. From trellises to arbors, these outdoor structures are designed to bring beauty to any landscape. They also provide shade and protection from sun, wind and rain.

Wood is a popular building material that’s used for everything from furniture to facade cladding. It’s also a good option for patio covers because it can be built from timber framing, which eliminates the need for concrete.
