Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, although if there is a deck, air and moisture can creep up from the ground beneath the deckboards causing rot and other damage. To mitigate this we suggest a motorized screen like the ones we install from Fenetex. We've found this is often a better solution to enclose an area

We've found that in the Pacific Northwest the best material for a patio cover is Acrylite / Aluminum. These patio covers keep out the rain and heat but let natural light still shine through. However always consider there are pros and cons of different materials, styles, and factors in things such as maintenance / cost.

It isn't smart to put a wood fire pit under a cover because the smoke/sparks can damage the underside of the cover. However, we've found a gas firepit is works great. We tell all of our customers that grills are also safe to use under a patio cover.

The cost of a patio cover depends on several factors like style, size, material, installation method, and permits.

  • Pergolas: Most affordable option.

The most cost effective way to cover a patio would be to purchase a canopy from Costco. The most effective way Cascade Fence and Deck could cover a patio is with a wood framed shed style patio cover with asphalt shingle roofing.
