"Outdoor living is booming right now, and you’re seeing people building larger decks, using low-maintenance materials, using hidden fastener systems so there are almost no screw or nail holes, and they’re getting 100 percent on that investment," Beaudry says. "If you spend $20,000 or $50,000 on a deck, you’re going to get it back. There’s no overstating the return you can expect.”
A cover will protect your deck from rain and potential debris, and it will keep the sun off of it on hot days. This will be a sure-fire way to keep your deck protected. Plus, if you have any outdoor furniture, a cover will keep it protected as well.
Not only is the cover shades your patio, but it’s also helping to keep the sun from beating in through the windows. It saves you money on energy bills and your AC load.
If you like to spend outside time during the day time, some shade would make everything more relaxing.
A patio cover will inspire intertaining: watch football, meet friends, grill meat and make a party at rainy or sunny day.
