A properly constructed patio port is an absolute pleasure to own, providing welcome shade in the summer months, shelter from the rain and vastly extending your out door living area .Unlike a carport a Patio port needs to have thick insulation and a ceiling to prevent the roof cladding from becoming a giant overhead heater in the summer sun. lighting is usually installed for evening use.
Available as a free standing gazebo or a lean-to type structure attached to the house. It can have either a flat or a pitched roof. the ceiling can be either Knotty pine, meranti or painted.
