THE FRESCO PATIO COVER: THE ULTIMATE OUTDOOR LIVING SOLUTION

Admin • January 4, 2023

If you're looking to create the ultimate outdoor living space, the Fresco patio cover is the perfect choice. This pergola-style patio cover features translucent polycarbonate roof panels that allow filtered light through while blocking the sun's heat. The panels reflect the heat back skyward, rather than allowing it to pass through to your patio, making it the perfect choice for hot summer days.


But the Fresco patio cover isn't just about keeping you cool. It's also built to withstand even the highest wind and snow zones, thanks to its full-standing-seam roof panels and strong structure attachments. These features eliminate leaks and ensure that your patio cover stays in place no matter the weather.


And with its 20 millimeter thick polycarbonate panels and 5 separate air chambers for insulation, the Fresco patio cover is designed to last for years to come. The top panel layer even features an ultraviolet light-rejecting treatment, which reflects 45% of the sun's heat upward and allows 40% visible light to pass through. This makes it feel like you're standing under a solid patio roof, even though it's made of translucent panels.


In short, the Fresco patio cover is the ultimate outdoor living solution. It combines style, durability, and functionality to create the perfect outdoor space for you and your family.

Creating a Backyard That Feels Like Home | S&S Design Build

May 1, 2026
Creating a Backyard That Feels Like Home Every space tells a story—and some begin the moment you step outside. What was once a simple backyard has been thoughtfully transformed into a warm, inviting retreat designed for everyday living. As the sun sets, soft string lights cast a gentle glow overhead while the fire feature becomes a natural gathering place. It’s the kind of space that draws people in, encouraging you to slow down, settle in, and stay a little longer. This project beautifully blends comfort and function. The covered patio offers a shaded escape during the day. Cozy seating arrangements create intimate pockets for conversation, and the surrounding landscaping adds depth, texture, and a sense of calm that ties everything together. But what truly brings a space like this to life isn’t just the structure—it’s the people who use it. The personal touches, from furniture choices to layout, reflect a lifestyle. It becomes more than a backyard; it becomes a place where morning coffee tastes better, where laughter carries a little further, and where memories are made season after season.  That’s what great outdoor design is all about: creating spaces that feel natural, lived-in, and uniquely yours. Ready to Create Your Own Retreat? Whether you’re starting with a blank slate or looking to reimagine your current space, the possibilities are endless. With the right design and thoughtful details, your backyard can become your favorite “room” of the house. Let’s build something that feels like home—just outside your door.
