Eight things we build, each with its own page, its own price range and its own list of what tends to go wrong. The right one usually becomes obvious once you say what you want the space to do in July.
Covered outdoor room · illustrativeMost people arrive wanting shade and leave having decided something more specific. A pergola breaks the sun and lets weather through. A patio cover keeps you dry under a metal roof. A covered patio is framed and shingled to match the house and can carry an insulated ceiling. An enclosure closes it in, and at that point it starts becoming an addition.

A cover is a standalone roof, usually metal. A covered patio is framed and roofed like part of the house, normally shingled to match, and can carry an insulated ceiling and lighting.
