Types of Covered Decks and Shade Coverings
Various shade structures cater to different stylistic preferences and functional needs. Here’s an overview of the common types:
- Attached Pavilions: Pavilions are known for their solid shingled roofs and finished ceilings, which can be flat or vaulted and made from wood or vinyl. Attached pavilions are a popular choice for integrating with your home’s structure protecting from rain, sun, and other elements. This type of cover is perfect for those seeking a cohesive look that blends seamlessly with their home.
- Freestanding Gazebos and Pavilions: Freestanding gazebos and pavilions offer flexible placement and distinctive architectural styles for deck coverage. Gazebos, often featuring an octagonal roof, serve as decorative focal points. Both freestanding pavilions and gazebos can be placed independently from the home, allowing for creative deck placement and an inviting outdoor retreat.
- Louvered Roofs: Modern louvered pergolas feature adjustable louvers, often with automatic adjustment mechanisms. Made from powder-coated aluminum, these pergolas provide durability and a sleek, modern appearance that complements contemporary architectural styles. When closed, they provide a nearly waterproof area. These roofs allow natural light into the deck space and home windows. They also offer options for adding screens, lights, and fans, allowing for space customization.
- Open Pergolas: Traditional open pergolas are characterized by their simple yet elegant structure. They typically consist of an open framework topped with cross rafters or lattice. These structures are often made from PVC or fiberglass. Traditional pergolas do not block out rain or sun but add elegance to any outdoor space.
