Patio covers is the main topic for discussion when you think about rest.
Warm weather inspires us to renovate our homes.
Currently we try to spend more time outdoors, so designing the patio is very important.
Covered patio will help to hide from the rain, spicy sun or wind.
Here are the ideas for exterior that I found to make your life more comfortable.

The easiest way is to cover with the ordinary transparent fabric.
It will still give you a pleasant joy from the sun, but will protect from leaves or any other falling stuff:)

Thicker fabric will be better for the regions with the rainy weather.

Patio umbrella will be useful for the smaller spaces. Of course, you can find huge umbrellas or place several of them, but usually they are used to hide the circle of the outdoor furniture set.
