Designing a Patio to Withstand the Tests of Time and Weather

Your patio is not just a place for the kids to sit and eat popsicles on a hot summer day. It can be your personal retreat and oasis from the outside world. You want it to be beautiful and welcoming, even in the heat. Here are some tips to help you create a stunning patio that you are sure to enjoy in all kinds of weather.

You can also build a beautiful pergola and then drape fabric along the top to keep the sun at bay. While it won’t shelter you in heavy storms, it will provide shelter when it’s sprinkling lightly. You can also add a gazebo to one end of the patio for a beautiful covered area that is adds architectural beauty.
