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

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!
