Enhance Your Outdoor Living with a Free Standing Patio Cover

Creating the perfect outdoor space entails more than beautiful furniture and a few potted plants. To truly enjoy your patio year-round, a well-designed patio cover can make a difference. One of the best options available is a free standing patio cover. In this post, we’ll explore the benefits, styles, and considerations of adding a free standing patio cover to your outdoor area.

What is a Free Standing Patio Cover?

A free standing patio cover, as the name suggests, is a structure designed to provide shade and shelter without relying on an existing wall or building for support. This design offers versatility, allowing you to position the patio cover exactly where you need it to maximize comfort and style.

Benefits of a Free Standing Patio Cover

Increased Protection

A patio cover shields you from the elements, providing protection against both the sun’s harsh rays and unexpected rain showers. This means you can enjoy your outdoor space more often and for longer periods.

Versatile Design

Free standing covers can be customized to match your personal style and the architectural details of your home. Whether you prefer a sleek modern look or a more traditional feel, there are a wide variety of materials and designs to choose from.

Enhanced Outdoor Living Space

With the added shade, you can comfortably furnish your patio with dining sets, lounges, and even outdoor kitchens. A free standing cover transforms your patio into an extension of your home, perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening outside.

Increased Property Value

Investing in a high-quality patio cover can boost the value of your property. Potential buyers often appreciate well-designed outdoor spaces, making your home more attractive in the competitive real estate market.

Styles of Free Standing Patio Covers

When it comes to choosing a style for your patio cover, the options are plentiful:

  • Aluminum

    Lightweight and durable, aluminum covers are easy to maintain and come in various colors and designs to complement your home.

  • Wood

    Wooden patio covers offer a natural, rustic aesthetic. They can be stained or painted to fit any design scheme but require more maintenance to prevent weather-related damage.

  • Louvers

    An Equinox louvered patio cover uses a number of horizontal slats that can be opened or closed with a simple remote control.



  • Retractable Awnings

    For flexibility, consider a retractable awning. This option allows you to enjoy the sun or seek shade as desired.

Considerations Before Installation

  • Local Building Codes: Don't panic Patio Designers has installed hundreds of patio covers throughout California, and we make sure that all building permits or zoning regulations are adhered to and obtained.
  • Placement: Think carefully about where you want your patio cover. Positions that maximize shade during peak sun hours are ideal.
  • Budget: Determine your budget ahead of time. While there are options for every price range, it’s essential to balance your desired features with your budget constraints.
  • Climate: Consider your local weather conditions. Some materials may perform better than others depending on the climate in your area.

Take your Outdoor Living to the Next Level!

A free standing patio cover is an excellent investment that enhances your outdoor living space, providing comfort and aesthetic appeal. Whether you’re looking for a place to entertain friends, create a cozy family gathering spot, or simply enjoy a moment of relaxation outdoors, a well-designed patio cover can elevate your experience.

HEAR FROM SATISFIED CLIENTS

We had a louver style cover installed in our entry way and we love it. I wasn't sure if it would be possible to install one since the area was a little difficult with different elevations in our courtyard area. I also didn't know that a louver system was even available. During the initial consultation with Antonio I was able to share with him my concerns for the area and he immediately had a solution. He then recommended a louver style in order to have visibility during the summer months. We're so happy we followed his recommendations. We highly recommend them.

Antonio & the team at Patio Designers transformed our uncovered drab slab into a functional living space by adding a solid patio cover with lights, and fans as well as tiling the drab slab. So from April to October we can open the sliders and bring the indoors outdoors.
