Lattice vs. Solid Patio Covers: Which One Is Right for You?

Choosing the right patio cover can dramatically enhance your outdoor space. At Paradise Patio Cover, we help homeowners decide between two popular options: lattice and solid patio covers. Each offers unique benefits, and the best choice depends on your lifestyle, climate, and design preferences.

Lattice Patio Covers are known for their open, airy feel. With evenly spaced slats, they allow filtered sunlight to pass through, offering partial shade without blocking out natural light entirely. Lattice covers are perfect for:

• Backyards with gardens that need sun

• Homeowners who enjoy a light, breezy atmosphere

• Decorative spaces where visual aesthetics matter

Lattice covers also help reduce heat buildup while maintaining airflow. They’re often chosen for outdoor seating areas, walkways, or spots where some sunlight is welcome.

Solid Patio Covers provide full shade and total protection from the elements. These are ideal for:

• Outdoor kitchens or grills

• Dining or lounge spaces used in all weather

• Homes with high sun exposure or frequent rain

Solid patio covers create a true “outdoor room” feel, ideal for year-round entertaining. You can also integrate ceiling fans, lighting, or even TVs for a luxurious backyard setup.

Not sure which to choose? Many customers opt for a combo design, which blends lattice and solid elements for the best of both worlds—sun when you want it, shade where you need it.

At Paradise Patio Cover, we’ll walk you through every option and create a custom design that fits your vision and your budget. Schedule a consultation today and let us help you build your ideal outdoor space.
