Offering maintenance-free outdoor living, these innovative patio covers feature ACRYLITE® sheeting, which creates a soft and radiant sunlit glow while reflecting heat and blocking UV rays. Even rooms adjacent to your Natural Light Patio Cover are brighter and more enjoyable!

Options include classic, cathedralstyle and free-standing patio covers, in addition to pergola covers, screen rooms, glass rooms, outdoor walls and spa enclosures, with custom designs and options to best complement your unique space, such as Eze-Breeze walls, Genius Roll Screens, sliding glass and railing systems.
“With the local environment being so mild, we really don’t need the traditional ‘four season’ room,” explains Steve Leyenhorst. “Once the patio cover is installed to keep the weather away, simply blocking drafts and cold air movement – and maybe adding a portable heater for the chillier days – will give you a patio you can enjoy for many months beyond the traditional grilling season.”
Like other quality home improvements, a three-season room with a Natural Light Patio cover can potentially add value down the road, in addition to the immediate enjoyment it will offer. “Not only does it make the home larger with the additional living space, but a quality product offers peace of mind and will bring both current and future owners years of comfort and enjoyment.”

While some other lower-quality structures may not be able to stand up to the unique demands of West Coast weather, such as our November windstorms and the occasional dump of snow, a properly installed, engineer-approved Natural Light Patio Cover offers a proven track record backed by a 30-year warranty, so homeowners can rest assured that they will be enjoying their new patio for years to come!
