Many customers come to us as an authority to help them create the right shading solutions for their patio or deck. These customers in Fairhaven, Massachusetts were one such case. If you ever wondered what a deck would look like before, during, and after a a patio canopy is installed, here is a sequence of images showing the incredible transformation.

These homeowners couldn’t use their south facing deck in the hot summer month without a source of shade.
This deck, with its southern exposure, rendered it useless when the sun was shining. Also, with the summer sun beating down on their sliding doors, the indoor temperature increased significantly! This is a before image of the deck before a custom deck awning was installed.

First step, is to install a frame that will hold up a custom canvas cover.
The frame, as pictured, is installed over the deck so that a custom canvas cover can be placed on top. This frame becomes a permanent fixture that will stand the test of time, as the cover can be taken down in the winter, and reinstalled for the warmer months.

After the frame is up, a custom cover is installed, keeping the deck cool and usable.
The custom cover is then installed, shading the deck and doors from the relentless summer sun. These homeowners can now get full use out of their patio and enjoy added square footage to their house in warm weather.
