A canopy is a 'growing product'

2023 proves patio cover functionality

Let's leave aside the heart of winter for a moment, because that's when most people would rather be under the Christmas tree than under the patio cover. But the rest of this year until now proves the usefulness of a patio cover. Sun, heat, heat, rain, wind... Except for snow, we've pretty much had everything that can make a patio cover useful. 

Spring has not been great. Then a patio cover comes in handy to be able to sit outside protected from the elements. June was scorching hot. The sparrows fell dead from the roof. That alone makes a canopy handy: no sparrows on your head! But all kidding aside, even then people like to be outside. A slatted roof on the ventilation position is a perfect solution: keep out the sun, but still provide ventilation. If the end user has an enclosure with a glass roof, an integrated awning can help. 

That's the great thing about a canopy. There are numerous possibilities to design them to your liking or to modify and extend them. The latter is very interesting, both for the end user and the awning or canopy specialist. An awning is a "growth product. Unless the end user starts with the "top of the bill," with a canopy that is completely finished and complete, there are numerous options for optimizing the canopy for one's own situation. Screens to block out low sun, wind or view, lighting for when it gets dim outside, heat emitters for when it gets chilly later in the evening and/or later in the year, glass walls to create a garden room and so on and so forth. In this way, a canopy can remain functional for years to come.
