With Texas Heat, Covered Patios Are Key

A patio is meant to be an outdoor space for you and your family to gather, relax, and grill. But here in San Antonio, when temperatures soar, the last place anyone wants to be is out on a patio in direct sunlight. Covered patios are the perfect solution, providing a shield from the sunlight and making the outdoor heat just a little more bearable.

As a leading concrete patio contractor in San Antonio, our team at River City Gutters also has you covered—literally!—when it comes to adding a little shade to your outdoor space. Our patio covers are quick to install and made from insulated metal that is built to last. If you’re looking to expand the living area of your home, River City Gutters is the top choice for covered patios.

Why Install a Patio Cover?

Covered patios are pretty much a necessity here in San Antonio. While homeowners in other parts of the country may get plenty of usage out of an uncovered patio, here in Texas the frequent oppressive heat makes some form of shelter pretty much required.

For those who want to be outdoors but want to stay out of the sun, a patio cover is the perfect solution. They’re easy to install, affordable, and when installed by experienced experts like our team here at River City Gutters, they last a long time.

Types of Patio Covers

Our patio contractors install a range of patio covers, each providing different looks and different levels of shade. With several products available, you’ll be able to get the perfect solution for your needs.

All of our patio covers are from Renaissance Patio, a leading name in covered patios. Their patios use powder-coated aluminum frames that provide superior durability and longevity. In addition to being durable, however, their patios also feature beautiful, modern designs that can be customized to suit the look of your home.

Their products include solid roof designs for maximum shade, translucent roof designs for a balance of shade and sunlight, and pergola-style designs for dappled shade.

Patio Cover FAQs

Short-term solutions like sun umbrellas can help to provide small amounts of shade, while rugs or turf can prevent the concrete from absorbing quite as much heat. However, these will not provide nearly the same amount of protection from the sun.
Patio covers ensure you’ll be able to enjoy your patio more frequently. While it’s always unpleasant to be outside in midsummer here in San Antonio, covered patios will provide a more comfortable space more often, giving you more value from your patio overall.
Aluminum is the best material for covered patios here. We primarily install Renaissance patio covers here at River City Gutters, which is made from insulated and powder-coated aluminum. This lasts much longer than wood products (which tend to be more common).
Wood patio covers don’t last as long as aluminum or other metals. This is because wood is susceptible to deterioration from a wide range of sources, including rot and pests. Wood may also warp over time.

In some cases, aluminum may be dented. This risk can be minimized by using a thicker gauge product. However, dents in aluminum patio covers will typically only be cosmetic and the performance of the structure will not be affected.
