Reasons to Choose a Patio Cover Instead of an Awning

If you’re looking to upgrade your patio with an awning, you may want to reconsider. While awnings look like they can get the job done on the surface, there are better options out there—especially if you partner with the outdoor living experts at Absolute Aluminum. Here’s why our patio covers are the best option for your Southwest Florida home:

Flexibility

Awnings are nice, but they don’t offer the flexibility you need. The sun can sit in a variety of positions throughout the day, but your awning just stays in one. So, if the sun or the rain is coming in from the side, you’re out of luck with a standard awning.

Our Pergola X patio covers, on the other hand, are adjustable and include louvers that can rotate up to 170⁰ to provide shade in any space regardless of the sun’s position. If it starts raining, the louvers will close and interlock, providing exceptional shelter so you don’t have to run indoors and cut your outdoor fun short. You get sun, shade, or shelter with the simple touch of a button!

Customization

Additionally, patio covers from Absolute Aluminum are completely customizable to your style and preferences and can be outfitted with accessories like:

• Ceiling fans
• Accent lighting
• Custom colors
• Custom columns
• Retractable screens

With a standard awning, you’re much more limited in your design options. Therefore, if you want to utilize your outdoor space to the fullest, it makes sense to invest in a patio cover that can be personalized to meet your specific needs.
