How Do You Design An Overhead Patio Cover?
Adding an overhead to your patio can provide you with the feeling of a room outdoors. It will help shield you from the scorching sun and heat, give you more privacy and be an aesthetically pleasing addition to your backyard. Decide how big you want the patio overhead to be. This will largely be determined by the area of your patio, how many people you want it to be able to accommodate, how much money you are willing to spend on materials and how much effort you’re willing to put into the construction. Don’t start by planning something large and elaborate if you don’t have the time to finish the job properly. Decide exactly where you want your patio to be, and make a scale drawing that shows all of the posts you will use. Decide how tall you want your overhead to be. Think about the time of day you will be using it most. If you will be using mostly around sunup and sundown, then it needs to be lower. Since the sun comes at a side angle, a lower overhead will shield you more. Make a plan
