Patio Cover Extensions

[Harold Styles]

Hello. We’re considering covering the area in front of the living room. We’d like to extend the roof of the house without creating unnecessary darkness in the interior rooms. Is there any practical experience installing sliding or pivoting slatted awnings that attach directly to the building’s façade? How difficult is the joining process, and is the joint between the wall and the structure leaky?

A tight seal is essential for the canopy’s connection to the façade. I recommend checking out this company’s ready-made modern patio cover ideas at this link. Equinox roofs feature a concealed drainage system integrated directly into the studs, preventing leaks at the wall joints. Pivoting panels reduce heat gain in adjacent rooms in summer and allow maximum natural light in during winter.
