Solid Wood Patio Cover Ideas

Patio Structures

If you’ve been browsing different pergola designs to create a cover for your patio seating area, you may have found that your favorite is a solid wood patio cover that’s freestanding or one that attaches to your house. Our pergola kits are the perfect choice if you’re looking to create a little more shade in your backyard, or a beautiful outdoor room.

We build our kits in Florida and ship for free anywhere in the contiguous United States. They arrive to you pre-cut and pre-drilled with step by step instructions. It’s a DIY kit that you can assemble yourself in a weekend, or you can hire your local landscape contractor to give you a hand. Where do you start?

How to Choose a Solid Wood Patio Cover

Step 1. Compare Pergola Styles

You probably know whether you would like a lot of coverage, medium coverage, or more open coverage. Our Pergola Styles Comparison is a great place to start deciding what would work best in your space.

Step 2. Measure Your Patio Space

Read through How to Measure for a Pergola for an overview of determining the size pergola you’ll need, including posts. Then start taking measurements. If you need help at all during this step, we’re only a phone call or email away!

Step 3. Customize Your Patio Cover

There are many different styles and sizes that can fit any size landscape. If you’re looking for a lot of patio coverage, our Big Kahuna Pergola Kit offers the most coverage. If you’re looking for a more open design, you can consider our Fedora Pergola Kit. And our Brim is a nice addition to the border of your patio area, and can be paired with a larger pergola to complete your patio cover plan!
