When there’s snow flying in Denver, it’s hard to think too much about an outdoor living space. Or, maybe it’s too easy to think about it so that we have something to dream about to get us through the long nights and cold days.
One of the things to think about for your outdoor living space may actually help you enjoy the winter more. What? We’re talking about a patio cover.
This is where being an architecturally oriented deck designer and builder comes in handy. In the summer, we think about patio covers from the perspective of the winter, making sure that they can withstand a big pileup of snow and maybe even make it possible to do a bit less sweeping and shoveling of snow by keeping the fluffy stuff overhead where it can eventually melt and drain off through a properly designed storm sewer system.
And in the winter we think about patio covers in the summer, designing them so that when the sun is high and the days are long you’ll be able to get just the right combination of shade and sun so that you can get maximum enjoyment from your outdoor space.
