[quote=walterwhite]Sometimes it can be very small things. Like the two cots I put out on the covered porch. Nap there. It is so awesome. And all it took was the concept. Cots out on patio. I wanted to buy an outdoor couch but this is better cuz we have them.[/quote]
Covered patios are excellent. But they have to be designed right.
Suntuf makes Lexan panels. They’re corrugated but don’t look as bad as you might think they’d be. They are available in clear as well as various smoke finishes. I think the clear is best but it does get cloudy.
My favorite design was rafters, then lattice, then the corrugated panels. I then had sheets of Sunbrella fabric to put up there during the summer months.
Lexan is pretty good but I was always tempted to try to put glass up there. Difficult, expensive, and dangerous, but it would be nice for it to remain clear.
The covered patio enabled us to keep furniture out of the weather; everything stayed clean, and the wind was less objectionable. It was great.
