How do I Cover a Deck with a Roof?

How do I Cover a Deck with a Roof?From retractable awnings to fixed roofs, there are many options available to homeowners that are ready to cover their decks so they can enjoy more shade or shelter from light rain. There is nothing worse than sitting out on your deck for a backyard gathering when it begins to rain or the sun comes out from behind a cloud and your outdoor party becomes less than enjoyable for you and your guests. After one too many of these occasions, you may start to look for shading solutions.

One option available to homeowners is to increase the length of a roof to also cover a deck. If you’re considering this option, you will need to research local building codes to make sure you are allowed to install a roof extension or whether you’ll need to create new footings for the overhead. After you’ve received clearance from your city or county building department, you will then need to handle the construction of your new roof. This process can be pricy and may leave you with a permanently shaded structure that will take away from the view of your beautiful backyard.

However, if you turn to Sunesta and have a retractable awning installed instead, you will have full control over when you are receiving shade. There are many times when you’ll want to enjoy some sunshine in your backyard, and if you had a roof installed over your deck that would be impossible. With a retractable awning, the simple push of a button will let you reel in your awning and expose your deck to that beautiful sunshine you are looking for.
