Why Late Summer Is Perfect for Installing Patio Covers
It might seem like there’s not much left of summer, but that’s not true. Around here, summer weather can pop up even in the fall. If you’re wishing for a better outdoor living space and are kicking yourself for not improving it earlier, don’t worry. You can still upgrade and enjoy months of comfortable time outside before fall has well and truly replaced the warmth with crisp fall. In fact, now is a great time for it.
Springtime and early summer are some of the busiest times for outdoor living professionals. The thought of heat waves and harsh sunlight sends people scrambling in an attempt to get everything done before summer is fully underway, which makes for limited scheduling options. It’s different in the late summer, when most people feel like it’s too late to bother with such changes. That means your installation can go more quickly at every stage, from your first call to finishing touches. Best of all, a new patio cover will let you enjoy your outdoor space even in cooler weather, and your property will be ready to go next summer!
Awnings and Other Shading Options for Every Home
You have a lot of options when it comes to outdoor shading solutions. Retractable awnings, pergolas, and other types of deck covers are all available. Each has unique benefits. Property owners who prioritize versatility often gravitate toward retractable awnings; motorized versions can even retract and extend at the touch of a button, and many come with weather sensors to retract automatically in harsh wind. Pergolas are permanent, stationary structures. You can add a fabric cover or louvered roof to create a lovely shaded space. Solid deck covers provide full sun protection. To boost the protection from deck covers, consider adding sliding glass enclosures as well.
We offer a range of upgrades to help you create the perfect outdoor space, including:
- Retractable awnings, cable shades & replacement awning fabrics
- Deck covers, pergolas & louvered roofs
- Privacy panels & Knotwood screens
- Retractable screens for patios, windows & doors
- Sliding glass enclosures & security shutters
All deck covers are available in a variety of materials, styles, and colours. Consulting with a professional is the best way to make sure your cover’s design complements the rest of your property while meeting all your practical needs. Do you want better temperature control? What about an all-season outdoor living space? Those are just a couple of things to consider.
Late Summer Is Not Too Late To Install Deck Covers
Late summer installations are outright convenient. Spring and early summer pack the schedules of outdoor living professionals, but some folks know that and decide to book their installation ahead of time in the fall, which can create waitlists. To avoid those, late summer installations can’t be beat. After hearing so much about how busy professionals can be, you might think it’s best to install your deck cover yourself. However, we recommend relying on experts to make sure your outdoor living upgrade is perfect before the weather makes installation and maintenance more challenging. Better yet, a professional installation guarantees that your patio cover will fit your property beautifully and work as intended, potentially increasing your property value in the future.
