6 Best Patio & Deck Cover Options for Your Home

Our outdoors in Charlotte, NC, is beautiful and inviting, but we also face changeable weather. Creating a comfortable outdoor living space means considering how best to protect your patio or deck from the elements.

With Deck Plus, you benefit from years of experience providing top-quality deck installations and custom cover solutions. That’s why we understand how you can enhance your outdoor space with the right cover. Here are six of the best patio and deck cover options for your home.

Pergolas

Pergolas are a stylish addition to any deck or patio. They provide shade and architectural interest. Their open-lattice roofs are excellent for partial sun blockage, allowing for natural light while offering a moderate shield against the sun’s intensity.

Deck Plus custom designs each pergola to match the aesthetic of your home, ensuring it serves as both a functional and decorative centerpiece.

Gazebos

Ideal for those who prefer a more enclosed space, gazebos provide excellent protection from the sun and rain. Typically round or octagonal, these stand-alone structures often feature a solid roof and can be built with screens to guard against insects. Gazebos can be a striking focal point in your garden, perfect for dining or relaxing outdoors.

Canopies

Retractable canopies offer a flexible solution for sun protection, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds — open sky or shaded retreat — whenever you want.

Motorized or manual canopies can extend over a large area, providing comprehensive coverage for your deck or patio. This option is particularly appealing for those who entertain outdoors frequently.

Shade Sails

For a modern twist on sun protection, consider shade sails. These pieces of special fabric are stretched between several anchor points, creating a floating canopy that shields your outdoor space from the sun.

They come in various colors and shapes, and shade sails can be arranged in multiple configurations, giving you a unique, customizable, effective, and eye-catching design.

Umbrellas

Large, free-standing umbrellas are a simple and movable solution for flexible shade. They can be placed wherever needed and come in a range of sizes and styles to suit any patio or deck. Whether you choose a centered pole or an offset design, umbrellas provide convenient sun protection that can adapt to the sun’s location and your daily needs.

Roof Extensions

Extending your home’s roof to cover your patio or deck might be the way to go for a more permanent solution. This option provides complete protection from the weather. It can also integrate seamlessly with your house’s existing structure, maintaining the uniformity of your home’s design.

Roof extensions are an investment that increases both the functionality and resale value of your property.
