5 Different Types of Patio Covers

Custom Home Patios

Having a beautiful patio does wonders for the full enjoyment of your home. Having practical covers means being able to enjoy your outside spaces even if the sun is shining a little bit too bright or if there’s a rain drizzle. Thankfully, you don’t have to choose between beautiful and practical. With so many different types of patio covers, there’s bound to be one that blends seamlessly into your home’s architecture.

Types of Patio Covers

Awnings. Whether you want to install a static or a retractable awning, you get the flexibility of staying outside even if the weather conditions are less than perfect. Not only will extra shade make your home and family more comfortable, you’ll also be protecting them from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
Pergolas. If you love nature and the beauty of having a garden around you, pergolas offer you the option of covering your patio with climbing plants. From roses, to wisteria, honeysuckle, or passion flower, you add to your patio or backyard landscape by installing pergolas.
Thatched roof. There are people who love traditional decorations. Others dream of getting away to tropical paradises. Thatched roofs give you the option of giving your patio the look and feel of staying at a Caribbean resort or on a secluded beach in Bali.
Patio Covers. If you just want something practical that will get the job done, patio covers provide a permanent, functional solution. It’ll allow you to install an outdoor extension to your home without having to provide too much maintenance.
Canopies. Canopies are great for providing ambiance. If you love to host events in your backyard, canopies are a great way to make your surroundings look either more festive or laid back, depending on your preferences.

Types of Materials Used

The same way there are many types of patio covers, you have a wide array of materials to choose from. This allows you to custom design your outdoor space to your liking. The most popular types of materials for patio covers include:

Wood. If you like more of a rustic, traditional look, wood’s natural colors are an excellent choice. You do have to keep in mind that this type of material does require additional maintenance to keep it from deteriorating with the elements.
Aluminum. If you prefer a low-maintenance option, aluminum provides it. It’s also very weather resistant, which means it’s a powerhouse when it comes to durability. In addition, you could install faux finishes so that it looks like a different type of material.
Vinyl. If you’re on a budget, rest easy knowing that you don’t have to keep putting off your patio cover project. Vinyl is both cost-effective and low-maintenance, which means that you not only save money at the time of installation, but in the long-term too.

Benefits of a Covered Patio

Custom Home Patios

Spring and summer are the perfect seasons for some outdoor excitement. Whether it’s a family dinner or fun barbecue, your patio is your go-to for entertainment and backyard relaxation. But, with the days heating up, your patio may be losing some of its inviting appeal. If this sounds familiar, it may be time to take a look at the benefits of a covered patio. Your covered patio can offer you even more than you may think, including some of these unexpected perks.

Weather Safety

Texas springs and summers can be unpredictable. One day it’s mostly sunny; the next it’s storming. This can make planning your outdoor get-togethers a bit tricky. With a gorgeous covered patio, however, you can enjoy your outdoor parties rain or shine. Depending upon the type of cover you install, your patio can be the ultimate safe haven from summer heat and sudden showers, keeping you and your loved ones cool and dry all year round.

Less Cleaning

A covered patio can also keep your patio furniture looking better for longer. Direct sunlight, rain and wind can easily bleach your furniture and make it filthy in no time at all, requiring extensive cleaning and scrubbing to ensure your patio is always looking its best. Covered patios remove many of the damaging elements from the equation by filtering sunlight to prevent bleaching, protecting furniture from rain, sleet or hail and breaking the wind to keep your furniture free of debris.

Attractive Indoor-Outdoor Living

Sometimes it can be difficult to dress up a plain slab of concrete in the backyard. As many homeowners know, the atmosphere can make or break an entertainment space. Covered patios provide just the right amount of sophistication and transition to an outdoor space. With elegant columns and relaxing shade, your patio can be transformed into the perfect party room.
Covered patios are also excellent customizable spaces. Homeowners can decide how they’d like to utilize their outdoor oasis, customizing it to add personality and emphasize what’s most important to them. Do you want a large picnic table for family and friends? Is a fully equipped outdoor kitchen more your style? Any home design you’d like can be applied to your covered patio and make it truly feel like an extension of your living space.

4 Steps to Planning a Patio Party

Custom Home Patios

There’s no better way to celebrate summer than with a party on the patio! Planning for a party can be difficult and stressful, but here are some patio party tips to ensure your summer party is one to remember.

Get the invitation right the first time – A cleverly designed invitation is guaranteed to have people putting your party down on their reminder list. Make sure to be clear about the date, time, menu, attire and potential rain plans should rain make an impromptu appearance. Keep instructions short, but clear and set expectations like if the event is BYOB or if you want guests to bring a dish. Print out or purchase fun invitations to make your event more appealing and memorable. Require guests to RSVP, yes or no, by setting up an email or online event page like on Facebook.
Setting the patio – A party without enough seating can sour your festivities. Even if guests don’t RSVP, you’ll undoubtedly get a few walk-ins, so make sure to have seats for as many people as you invited plus a few extras. Subtract from the guest list the number who replied no to your RSVP request to get a realistic estimate of who is coming. Instead of buying chairs, you can rent fashionable chairs from a variety of vendors for as little as $2 a piece.
Get the lighting just right – Ambient lighting works best for parties, allowing guests to see at night while not detracting from the mood with too much brightness, creating a comfortable, relaxed or even dreamy atmosphere. Hang hurricane lanterns or tea lights from tree branches. Hang globe lights at various heights to play with expectations.
Master the Music – You may be tempted to crank the music up, but blaring music isn’t conducive to party conversation. Keep it audible but fairly ambient, depending on the type. Top 40 is always a safe bet, but opt for breezy, relaxing summer tunes using suggestions or playlists from Spotify or Apple Music. Plan for the party running for at least four hours, so ensure the playlist doesn’t finish before then. Add more songs to pad time – if it starts over near the tail end of the party don’t fret; Bountiful margaritas and cocktails will take care of all that for you.
