If you’re looking for a covering for your current porch, patio, or deck, there are plenty of options to choose from.
Awnings are a great option for those that are interested in a more colorful, patterned, or modern look.
They come in many different styles and designs, so the possibilities are endless.
You also have the option of retractable or stationary awnings.
Retractable awnings are great for those that want to be able to choose when they have shelter.
Stationary awnings are great for those that want the permanent shade fixture, though regardless of the type of awning you want, you’ll want to discuss with us whether or not your awning will need to be stabilized with anchor pillars.
Since they are usually only connected on one side of your home, they aren’t the most stable on their own in strong weather.
Their positioning can also be a downside if you’re wanting something that will extend farther over your deck, porch, or patio.
Pergolas are another great option.
They are usually built with parallel beams and are open to the sky, though they can be built so that they’re covered as well.
You can customize how much shade your pergola provides by changing the distance between the beams.
Wood is the go-to material for pergolas, but other materials such as metal, bamboo, and plastic can be used as well depending on the look you’re going for.
Pergolas are a bit tricky to build since they are so top heavy, so you’ll want to be sure your covered patio contractor is plenty experienced, and lucky for you, College Station Covered Porch and Outdoor Kitchens is!
Pavilions are very similar to pergolas, though they are specifically designed to have closed roofs.
Similar to pergolas, they are often made of wood, but can be built from other materials as well.
These are a great option for those who know they want cover from the elements at all times and can be a great place to have a seating area under.
With pavilions or pergolas, they can be attached to your home and made to look like they’re just a continuation of your roof, or they can be separate from your home and stand alone.
The choice is completely up to you and your vision.
No matter what you’re looking for, College Station Covered Porch and Outdoor Kitchens can help with your project.
