Orange County, CA Wood Patio Covers

To properly enjoy your time and Southern California’s delightful weather, it’s important to have a comfortable landing space to enhance the view and functionality of your backyard and outdoor living area. With a multitude of lattice patio covers, solid wood or tile roof patio covers, second story balconies, gazebos and pergolas on the market, the possibilities seem endless. Owner of Orange County Patio Company, Terry Pedicone, believes the material your patio cover is made from should be of good, quality wood.  

Terry’s Tips for the Perfect Patio Cover Includes:

• Lumber should be hand selected
  • This ensure quality wood and reliable structure
• Wood patio structures should be made primarily with number one grade Douglas Fir
  • Depending on the homeowner, with a rough or smooth finish
• Wood should be primed prior to installation and completely repainted by hand once structure is completely finished

Not only are wood structures stronger, they are also less expensive than artificial materials and last much longer, not to mention a finished woods striking appearance. Instead of pre-fabricated pieces of aluminum or vinyl, which will limit the look of your structure, wood offers unlimited variation because wood can be cut to any design or size.

Vinyl & Aluminum covers will look old over time, where wood structures can be repainted every 7 to 10 years to look brand new again. (You cannot do that with Vinyl or Aluminum.) Also, Vinyl & Aluminum are very noisy when it rains, where wood structures are not. Properly sealing & priming will eliminate termites & wood rot.
