CREATING THE ULTIMATE OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE: COMBINING A PATIO COVER AND DECK

Admin • January 19, 2023

Your outdoor living space is an extension of your home, and it should be designed to reflect your personal style and meet your needs. One way to enhance your outdoor living space is by combining a patio cover and a deck. A patio cover provides protection from the sun and rain, while a deck creates an additional living area for you to enjoy. Together, they create the ultimate outdoor living space.


When designing a patio cover and deck combination, we take into account the style of your home, your personal preferences, and the specific functional requirements you have. We also consider factors such as local building codes, zoning regulations, and engineering requirements. We'll work closely with you to create a design that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.


A patio cover can be made from a variety of materials such as wood, aluminum, or vinyl. Wooden patio covers offer a natural, classic look, while aluminum and vinyl patio covers are low maintenance and long-lasting. Patio covers provide protection from the sun and rain and can be designed to match the style of your home.


The deck can be made from a variety of materials such as wood, composite, PVC, or aluminum. Wooden decks offer a natural, classic look, while composite, PVC, and aluminum decks are low maintenance and long-lasting. Decks provide an additional living area for you to enjoy and can be designed to match the style of your home.


Once the design is complete, we'll provide you with a detailed plan and 3D rendering for review and approval. Once approved we'll start construction, and once construction is complete, we'll perform a walk-through with you to ensure you're completely satisfied with the finished product.

Choosing the Best Material for Your Patio Cover: Wood vs. Aluminum | S&S Design Build

May 9, 2025
When it comes to designing and building a patio cover, one of the most important decisions you'll have to make is the type of material to use. There are several options available, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. In this blog post, we'll compare the most popular materials for patio covers wood and aluminum. Wood is a classic for patio covers and decks. It's a natural and renewable resource and it can be stained or painted to match the style of your home. Wood also offers a warm and inviting feel, making it a great option for outdoor living spaces. However, wood requires regular maintenance to protect it from moisture, mildew, and rot. It can also be prone to warping, cracking, and splitting over time. Aluminum is a lightweight and durable option for patio covers. It's rust-resistant and requires very little maintenance. It's also a good thermal insulator, which can help to keep your patio cooler in the summer. However, aluminum can be more expensive than wood and it's not as strong. It also can't be painted and can have a limited range of colors. When choosing a material for your patio cover, it's important to consider factors such as your budget, the style of your home, and the climate in your area. At S&S Design Build, we have experience working with both materials and can help you make the best choice for your project.
