The arrival of the blinding, penetrating Denver summer sun is just around the corner – are you choosing a deck covering material that will get you through the season? Or will your parched and overheated deck become the desolate wasteland it was last summer? With just a few weeks left to prep, now’s the time to get your home ready for the hot months to come, and enjoying time outdoors with friends and family.
Choosing the Right Material for Your Deck
Cover is an Essential First Step
Deck covers are an easy and cost-effective means of adding more living space to your home. Costing far less than a sun room or house addition, they are a great way to add functionality, appeal, and value to your home. However thought must be given to covering materials to ensure not only usefulness, but compatibility with your lifestyle - after all, not all deck covers are created equal…

Canvas
Though canvas may be left open when it’s raining, extended exposure to moisture can lead to rotting. Not strong enough to withstand hail, snow, or storms, the combination of Denver’s searing sun and windy weather can quickly turn them to tatters.

Vinyl
Vinyl is low maintenance, but prone to fading. Available in limited colors, it can be difficult to find the right neutral tone for complimenting architecture.

Wood
Wood patio covers are popular, not because they are inexpensive or durable, but for their natural beauty. A pricey building material, wood requires constant – and extensive – maintenance in order to make it last, demanding regular (preferably annual) sanding and repainting/staining, as well as treatment for termite resistant. Special care must be taking to prevent peeling, and warping, as well as to prevent mold and wood rot that results from excess moisture.

Aluminum
Pergolas -The best option
Extremely durable and requiring far less maintenance than wood, aluminum deck covers are strong but lightweight, providing protection without the need for substantial groundworks or foundations. Upkeep is minimal, without the need for dealing with issues related to warping, cracking, and rotting. Providing superior protection, even against rain, snow, and winds, aluminum covers come in many different styles and colors, including wood wraps, providing the perfect complement to any décor. Though slightly more than wood in cost, the added expense is more than offset by aluminum’s longer lifespan, and its lack of cleaning, sealing and staining duties.
