How the cover meets the house
How to read a patio cover photo
Where the water
Where the water
goes matters most.
It rains here most of the year. A good cover is mostly a good plan for where that rain ends up.
The tie-in
Look at how the cover meets the house. That joint is the one that has to stay dry.
The posts
Posts should sit on proper footings and stay out of standing water, the same rule we apply to fences.
The drainage
Water should leave the roof on purpose and land somewhere that makes sense for the yard.
