There’s nothing better than the spring and summer seasons in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. It’s the ideal time to get outside to enjoy the bounty of your garden, soak up the sun and warmer weather, and get out to explore the many green spaces available. When you get home from all your outdoor adventures, you’ll want to relax and unwind in your own outside oasis. One of the best ways to do this is to upgrade your exterior living space with a new patio or deck cover. Keep reading to get the details on our four most popular styles.

Aluminum: Aluminum patio covers by Duralum are some of the highest quality and most durable options available. They appear to be wood, but have the strength of aluminum, and come in a variety of unique design cuts and colors. This product is built to last for years, easy to maintain and keep clean, and can withstand earthquakes, wind, heavy rains, and plenty of spring and summer sunshine.

Acrylic: For more modern-style homes, an Acrilyte patio cover is a fantastic choice. Available in four finishes, these covers feature powder-coated aluminum frames and acrylic panels that block UV rays while providing plenty of light. These products are shatter-resistant and not negatively impacted by hot, cold, or wet weather. That means you don’t need to worry about rusting or peeling.

Pergolas: A classic option, pergolas are one of the most popular and versatile additions to outdoor spaces across the Pacific Northwest. Known for their customization ability, they add a touch of elegance to decks, patios, gardens, and more. Pergolas come in an array of materials, including vinyl or Duralam.

Wood-Framed: Ideal for Craftsman-style homes or older Victorian-style homes, wood-framed patio covers are a timeless option. These covers are affordable and with a solid ceiling, allow for cool breezes that keep you protected from sun, wind, or rain. Wood patio covers also feature exposed beams, wood soffits, or powder-coated brackets that enhance the look of your home. These options are also highly customizable, so they can look like they were made for your home!

Reasons to Install a Patio Cover This Year:
With a variety of innovative designs and materials to choose from, there’s no doubt about it: a patio cover will elevate the comfort and usability of your home and its outdoor space. A patio cover will also:

• Improve your home’s appearance: A well-designed patio cover will enhance your home’s ambiance and aesthetics.
• Be easy to maintain: Most patio covers require very little maintenance and can protect things that are less convenient to clean.
• Boost your home’s value: Building a patio cover can improve your home’s resale value.
