Make your outdoor space usable with patio covers for shade and rain!

If you have seen clips floating around online somewhere about not being ‘Outdoorsy’ – so much as being ‘Outside-y’, then this may be just what you need!


Tiktok video or reel talking about those who enjoy the great outdoors as long as it's comfortable.  Those that are Outside-y.
Where are my Outside-y friends?

We have come along way in our creature comforts for our home, and the backyard is no exception.  Having an outdoor space always sounds wonderful, until you start baking under the sun or have to move inside to dodge the rain.  Those of us who are more outside-y than outdoorsy, enjoy the outdoors - just in the most comfortable conditions. But there is a solution to keep us all enjoying our outdoor spaces longer!


Pergolas & Patio Covers

Shade Pergolas

So Lovewell Fence & Deck has been installing our Shade Pergola system for years! One of the biggest gripes we hear about in outdoor living is “We LOVE our deck, but it’s just so HOT under the open sun that we can’t use it during the day”.  So, we came up with our own solution to add to our lineup of low-maintenance products…. Shade Pergolas.


An outdoor living set up on a deck under a shade pergola system that blocks sun light and features an overhead fan.
Underneath a Shade Pergola. This pergola is set for 75% shade, while we also offer a 90% shade option as well.

Our Shade Pergolas are perfect for a deck or a patio.  Rather than the open lattice top of a traditional pergola, our shade pergolas feature angled purlins that are set close together and help block overhead sun.  It gives you real shade and allows you to sit outside without getting roasted by the daytime sun! 

  • Real Shade without having to buy additional fabric covers

  • Reinforced with aluminum post, beam and rafter inserts for amazing strength (seriously we set a car on top)

  • External vinyl for extreme durability and NO maintenance

  • Customized to fit any shape or space

  • Can handle high snow loads or hurricane force winds

  • Manufactured right in our Davenport facility to custom fit your space


Rain Proof Patio Covers

Creating rain protection along with shade gives you even more opportunities to keep your outdoor festivities going! Rain Proof Pergolas are the perfect patio cover, and like our pergolas – they work great on both decks or patios! The posts, beams and rafters are all the same as our Shade Pergolas – same low maintenance vinyl exterior, same high strength aluminum interior. 


What makes them ‘Rain Proof” are the standing seam polycarbonate panels of the pergola roof. Polycarbonate is a great option as it diffuses soft light from above, so your space doesn’t feel dark, YET it provides 100% UV protection AND no leaks!

You can build these over your patio door for an extended roof that allows you to stay dry while you get the dogs in the house.  Still use your outdoor grill to cook up some steaks despite a passing shower.  Cover your deck so you can comfortably dine outdoors. Or extend the life of your patio furniture with the help of UV protection from the polycarbonate roof.


  • A standing seam panel system means that your fasteners are all concealed and there is a watertight connection between the panels for no leaks

  • 100% UV Protection to protect yourself & outdoor furniture

  • Hail resistant up to 3/4"

  • Reinforced with aluminum posts, beam and rafter inserts for amazing strength

  • External vinyl for extreme durability and NO maintenance

  • Much like the shade of a large tree, the shade from your pergola helps keep your outdoor space cooler

  • Can handle high snow loads & high winds

  • Manufactured right in our Davenport facility to custom fit your space

 

Covered Pergolas are definitely growing in popularity. 


There are many pergola options out there, some with fancy automations or movable louvers that open and close.  Which sounds great initially – however motors wear out and movable pieces get clogged with debris from trees and then break.  Leaving the expensive pergola you purchased no longer able to fully close or open - rendering it useless.


And most solutions on the market today, come in limited sizes with no room to customize how it fits in with your outdoor space.  Our patio cover system can be installed in a large number of sizes and further trimmed to fit.  Our install crews are highly skilled to help you create that outdoor oasis you have been looking for.

An Elements Rain Proof Pergola is going to be a solid investment in your outdoor living for decades to come. So make the most of your outdoor space this year – give yourself the option for shade and rain coverage with a Shade Pergola or Rain Proof Pergola! 


Let’s all get Outside-y this year!
