Patio covers provide shade for backyards, as they fasten directly to the exterior of a residence and form shelter over a patio or deck. These patio products are an ideal, affordable home upgrade, as they can boost the functionality of your backyard without breaking the bank. Even better, they can generally be installed in two days, so you’ll be able to enjoy your new patio cover sooner than you ever expected.

Patio covers come in all shapes and sizes, and with all sorts of features. How do you separate the durable, built-to-last options from the ones that will need to be replaced in just a few years? Here are the features to be on the lookout for in order to find a well-made patio cover:

• Extruded aluminum – This material outperforms vinyl and roll-form aluminum, and it can stand up to the elements easily without breaking down in any way.
• A thermal roof – These roofs deflect the sun’s heat, which is helpful on very hot summer days since it means your patio will still be comfortable enough to enjoy.
• An electrostatic finish – If you don’t want to spend your weekends cleaning or re-painting your patio cover, an electrostatic finish is a must. This type of paint resists peeling and fading, ensuring your cover maintains its like-new condition for decades.

TEMO, one of the leading manufacturers of outdoor living products, is pleased to supply homeowners with extruded aluminum patio covers that have thermal roofs and electrostatic finishes. Even better, they also have beautiful columns reminiscent of Italian architecture in Roma, Florentine, and Venetian design options.

What’s more, because we’re so confident in the durability of our patio covers, we’re pleased to back them with a limited lifetime transferable warranty.
