Back Yard Awnings: You Don’t Need a Deck or Patio

For homeowners without a traditional deck or patio, the need for a backyard awning may seem like putting the proverbial cart before the house when it comes to patio shade and shelter. But truth is, you don’t need a deck or a patio – or a massive budget - to create an amazing backyard retreat.

Freestanding Fun
The perfect shelter for your outdoor fun doesn’t have to be attached to your home or right outside your back door. Freestanding, solidly anchored aluminum pergolas can be added anywhere in your yard – with or without a “permanent” foundation. In fact, outdoor living spaces created away from the home can offer additional privacy, peace and quiet traditional patio and deck additions cannot.

Make Your Own
When it comes to choosing your perfect outdoor living space footing, beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, and there are an array of functional substrates that can add the perfect feel to your outdoor world…

• Grass
  Pad barefoot in the soft grass to your covered swing or picnic area, keeping your toes cool with this budget-friendly outdoor living space “flooring.” The perfect choice for a secret garden retreat.
• Sand
  Tickle your toes in the sand, creating an island-like getaway in your backyard – or the perfect year-round play space for the kids - topping off the ground beneath your pergola with soft beach sand.

• Pavers
  Create a poolside retreat or a private oasis anywhere in your yard with pavers beneath your pergola. Far from the boring cement blocks of yesteryear, today’s pavers offer a host of designs, from water-permeable options to lightweight, composite pavers and an assortment of stones from traditional brick to flagstone and tile-like, geometric patterns.
• Pebbles & rocks
  A perfect addition for creating a rustic yet comfortable backyard fire pit area, pebbles and rocks from pea to golf ball sized, available in an assortment of colors, shapes, and textures offer a safe, low maintenance fireside flooring solution.
