I recently got my patio cover installed - after 9 years of "gently" persuading my husband (aka nagging to hear him tell it!)
It looks really good except it is oh, hmm, let me see, 6 FT SHORT! - They are coming out to see for them selves, hmm, it isn't like it is hiding anywhere, it isn't like this is a small amount! Jeez we will see what happens next.
So besides being too short, it is really nice! We got it (ok, ok, I got it) because I want to be able to relax in my backyard, there are some unintended consequences which turn out to be GREEN!
Our Bedroom and Living Room have high ceilings and sliding glass doors so they tend to be warmer then the rest of the house, the cover reduces the amount of sunlight and heat which reduces my need for A/C which inturn lowers my Electric Bill - (insert happy dance here!)
The patio also shades a lot of my yard, so since CA is in a drought and water is rationed my grass a'int lookin' so hot, I am hoping the shade will help my grass recover from the lovely yellow it currently is to a nicer shade of ... wait for it.... GREEN
