Wood patio awnings
The most attractive type of wood patio awnings is a Pergola-style. It looks like an arbor but is much larger. It can be used over a patio, deck, hot tub or in a garden. By growing climbing plants up the sides and across the top you can create natural shade using the plants. You’ll be so distracted by how beautiful it looks that you won’t even realize it’s there to create shade. It will protect you from the sun’s harmful rays and allow you to enjoy your patio even during the hottest time of the day.
Wood patio awnings also create a beautiful place to host a lunch for friends and family. Or try stringing lights in between the plants for nighttime enjoyment of your patio.
Another great thing about this type of awning is that climbing plants require very little care and maintenance on your part. Once they’ve started to grow, they’ll take off and blossom. The only maintenance you’ll have to perform is trimming the plants to keep them looking great. Plus, unlike most awnings, it can be left up year round in all weather conditions. So you won’t have to hassle with setting it up and taking it down.
Wood patio awnings are an elegant way to create shade and protection from the elements.
