A patio cover allows you to spend more time outdoors and get the best out of your backyard. A covered patio can be used all year round and through all kinds of weather. Such a feature can help extend your home interiors to the outdoors, allowing you, your family, and friends to spend more quality time outside.

At Superior Fence Co. of San Antonio, we have some reasons why you should consider installing a backyard patio cover.

1. Greater Outdoor Comfort & Fun

When you install a patio cover in your backyard, you will have instant access to shade. Whether you need protection from the sun, rain, or snow, it can protect you and provide more comfortable space to spend your time outdoors. The weather in San Antonio can change from hot and sunny conditions to a hailstorm within a few hours. With a patio cover, the amount of time you spend outdoors will no longer be limited due to the elements. The cover will also help keep the nearest interior room cooler.

A covered patio also allows you to take the party and celebrations out of your home. You will not have to worry about food and drink spills. The cover will shield your guests from the elements and it will be easier to keep an eye on the children as they play in the yard. Your barbeque party will not rain out.

2. Keep Your Outdoor Living Features Protected

Imagine having to drag all your outdoor furnishings indoors every night after having spent quality time outdoors. With a patio cover, all your outdoor living space features will be protected from sun and rain. You can deck your patio with features such as:

• A grill
• Lounge chairs
• Outdoor bar
• TV

A covered patio can allow you to fix almost all kinds of amenities without worrying about the elements damaging them. 

3. Protect Your Plants

You can choose between solid and open lattice styled patio covers. The latter provide partial coverage and protection from the elements. If you want to grow plants, you can consider this type of a cover. Many plants require a little shade for protection. A lattice cover can protect such plants from direct sunlight while allowing some rain to get through.

4. Increase Your Home’s Value

When you install a patio cover, it is an investment, both in the short-term and long-term. While it contributes to your comfort and convenience in the short-term, it improves your home’s value in the long-term. Outdoor living space is in greater demand among potential homebuyers. When you invest in your backyard, you are adding to your property’s value.

Besides, there are many more benefits of having a backyard patio cover. It helps increase the usable square footage of your property, encourages you and your guests to spend more time outdoors, allows you to be in greater contact with nature, and do much more.
