3 TYPES OF PATIO COVERS TO ENHANCE YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE

Admin • February 5, 2023

If you’re looking for a way to make your outdoor space more comfortable and enjoyable, then adding a patio cover can be a great way to go. At S&S Design Build, we offer three types of patio covers that can be customized to fit your exact specifications. Let’s take a look at the different types and what each one has to offer.


Retractable awnings are an excellent option for those who want their patio cover to be adjustable depending on the season or weather. This type of patio cover is easy to operate and can provide shade when it's hot and sun when it's not. With this type of cover, you can enjoy your outdoor space all year round! Plus, they come in a wide range of colors and designs so you can choose one that best matches the aesthetic of your home.


Aluminum patio covers are great if you're looking for something that requires minimal maintenance but still offers protection from the elements. Aluminum is strong and durable, standing up against rain, snow, wind, and other harsh elements without any issue. This type of patio cover is also lightweight which makes it easy to install and adjust as needed—plus, aluminum won't rust like other materials, so you don’t have to worry about it deteriorating over time.


If you’re looking for something with a classic aesthetic that will still stand up against the elements, then wooden patio covers may be the perfect choice for you. Wooden covers are strong yet elegant and can enhance any outdoor space. They’re also great for providing some privacy if needed because they block out both sunlight and prying eyes alike! Plus, wooden patio covers require less maintenance than aluminum or retractable ones since they don’t need to be adjusted as often.


When it comes to making your outdoor space more enjoyable and comfortable, adding a patio cover is definitely worth considering! There are many different types available depending on what kind of look you want or how much maintenance you’re willing to do—from retractable awnings that allow you adjustability throughout the year; aluminum covers that require minimal maintenance; or wooden covers with their classic look and added privacy benefits—the possibilities are endless!
