Patio Covers & Pergolas

At St. John Pools, we understand the importance of creating additional living spaces that are not only visually appealing but also functional. When working with our clients, we take into consideration their outdoor living space and existing elements, as well as any new constructions, such as the addition of an outdoor living room or kitchen.

During our planning and design discussions for outdoor living spaces, we make sure to incorporate all ideas and explore every possibility. We understand that for an outdoor living area to be truly functional, it’s essential to consider features such as patio covers or pergolas. These additions not only provide year-round protection from the sun, rain, and wind, but they also add significant value to the properties.

We believe in leaving no stone unturned in creating outdoor living spaces that are not only beautiful but also highly functional, with careful consideration of all elements and ideas to ensure our clients’ complete satisfaction.

Styles of Patio Covers & Pergolas

As there are an unlimited number of patio covers and pergola designs, it is only possible to discuss some. So, here is a brief overview of the types of patio covers and pergolas to get you started on the right track and decide which is best for you.

Pergolas

We start with pergolas. Typically pergolas have columns or pillars with support cross beams upon which vines climb and flourish. They can be attached to a building, a link between two or an entirely free-standing structure similar to an arbor. They are generally open on top but can also have a closed roof.

Pergola Materials

As for pergola materials, choosing is a matter of what is best for you and your architectural decor. The most popular materials are wood, vinyl and aluminum. Various wood, such as pressure-treated lumber, can be stained and painted to complete a natural and rustic feel. Vinyl pergolas boast a clean and classic style. It lasts long and has minimal maintenance. Aluminum pergolas are sturdy with a metal frame. It is indeed elegant, lasts long and is perfect for modern and contemporary design.

Patio Covers

Patio covers generally have solid roofs designed to protect the elements below from sun and rain. They can be attached or detached from a building. There is no limit to the materials, sizes and designs, from simple basic to the most extravagant and for all budgets.

But you must know that to achieve a custom look, hiring a highly knowledgeable and experienced patio cover builder is vital. The patio cover specialists at St. John Pools assure you we are just that.

Patio Cover Materials

Like pergolas, the traditional choices for patio cover materials are wood, vinyl and aluminum. As mentioned, each has its pros and cons while achieving different looks for different architectural designs.
