How do awnings make outdoor spaces comfortable and attractive?

Products such as patio covers and enclosures, awnings, sun shades, and canopies are versatile, attractive, functional, and durable, bringing a new level of usefulness, comfort and attractiveness to favorite outdoor spaces.

The takeaway for choosing from a wide selection of these products is that business owners and homeowners can heighten how they use and enjoy open spaces by:

Turning outdoor spaces such as patios, yards, decks, and courtyards into comfortable and attractive areas for al fresco dining, winetasting, relaxing, and visiting with friends and family.
Enhancing outdoor experiences with protection from wind, sun, rain, and cold. Durable, high-quality patio covers, enclosures, awnings and shade covers make year-round outdoor enjoyment possible.
Blocking direct sunlight, creating cooler spaces, and protecting furnishings or merchandise in window displays from sun damage. Cooling shade also reduces the need for air conditioning and lowers energy bills.
Adding beauty and attractiveness that enhances curb appeal, and creates inviting, hospitable spaces that are appealing to customers, houseguests, or potential buyers.

Increasing your enjoyment

Let’s look at some of the ways Shoreline Awning & Patio Covers increases how you enjoy being outdoors:

At home, sipping morning coffee on the deck, enjoying the view because your newly installed shade protection keeps the morning sun out of your eyes.
Enjoying fine wine, light bites, and a beautiful view of deer browsing on a hillside because the winery installed an awning on the tasting room deck, canopies on the gazebos, and shade sails around the vineyard.
A play date at your backyard kiddie pool where the shade sails protect the kids’ tender skin from the sun.
Lunch with friends on a hot day at your favorite restaurant because the patio cover keeps the courtyard cool. “Another thing that makes this place perfect,” you say, “is the cover opens at night so we can see the moon and stars.”
Your business is starting to see an increase in foot traffic because the front awning has made you more visible.
You are selling your home or business and want to add curb appeal.

Our award-winning designs encompass custom-designing, manufacturing, and installing a wide range of products for creating an outdoor space with all of the welcoming comfort, attractiveness, and usefulness you desire.

Patio covers for practical and graceful beauty

Patio covers turn an open patio into a sheltered space, protected from weather and the sun’s rays. Our design team and product options complement every taste and patio décor idea. The choices include:

Solid covers, some with insulation and electrical wiring.
Louvered covers that can be remotely adjusted.
Lattice covers.
Slide-on wire covers that can be adjusted for shade or sun as needed.
Awnings, especially retractable awnings.

Covers aren’t the only feature that turns a patio into an oasis for family, friends, or customers. Enclosing all or portions of a patio adds to the comfort and usefulness. Select from a variety of shade products such as drop shades, cable systems, box and track systems, and zipper track systems that can be lowered or raised as needed to block wind and provide cool shade.

Other enclosures such as screen rooms, and patio enclosures from leading manufacturers such as Horizon and Sunscape, add to the choices for creating the perfect patio.

It’s not even necessary to have an actual patio. Decks, gazebos, and pergolas can all be upgraded for California and San Luis Obispo County climates with patio covers, awnings, shade sails, and a variety of enclosures.

Consider how shade sails, a pergola, or a gazebo might turn a favorite outdoor space into an attractive dining space, a backyard playground, or a sanctuary for stretching out on a lounger with a good book.

Shade where you want it with shade sails

Shade sails, soaring overhead add a sense of spaciousness and lightness to outdoor spaces and are a flexible solution for creating contemporary outdoor areas. They can be installed in custom configurations to simultaneously protect from the sun and allow for air circulation.

Our professional team designs and sews shade sails to your specifications at the Paso Robles facility, and the fabric comes in a wide range of colors. We can help you with ideas and we also install the finished products.

Shade sails are perfect for creating comfortable outdoor dining areas, and lounging spaces, covering a portion of the pool area, covering walkways, the kid’s outdoor play areas, providing attractive protection for sun and heat-sensitive gardens, and for just about any other need you can think of for any open space or patio cover need for San Luis Obispo County and nearby regions.

Pergolas and gazebos

Pergolas and gazebos are versatile structures for defining favorite outdoor areas. The open, airy feel makes any space inviting and comfortable. Added canopies provide shade, climbing plants also add shade while creating a lush garden atmosphere.

Are you thinking of adding an outdoor kitchen? A pergola just might offer the perfect space. Event centers, commercial buildings, and wineries often find adding pergolas or gazebos in certain areas enriches both customer and employee experiences.

Finishing touches

Our design team can take your idea whether it is still forming or you have rough sketches and make it happen for you. From suggesting options for the perfect awning or patio cover to a fully blended outdoor space that includes finishing touches such as custom-designed decorative ironwork your ideal outdoor space is only an idea away. Custom design includes lighting, remote-controlled shade and covers, color schemes, logo imprints for businesses, and other finishing touches that make the space uniquely yours.

This patio needs something, but what?

There are more choices for turning an outdoor space into an attractive, comfortable place to spend time than most people think. Patios come in all shapes and sizes. They can be open spaces between the house and garage, an unused space in the alley behind a business, or a courtyard between a popular bistro and a downtown boutique. One thing that patios have in common is the potential to transform a bare outdoor space into an appealing comfort zone that combines the best of outdoor and indoor experiences. The Shoreline Awning & Patio team, supplier of custom-made patio covers for Atascadero and communities from Monterey to Ventura, has the answer for “that something” to transform any patio.

When transforming a patio, or any open space, sometimes starting at the top opens that inner creative eye and helps everything else fall into place. The best place to start is to become familiar with the many choices in the types and styles of patio covers. These include:

Solid covers, including options for insulation and electrical wiring for lighting or fans while providing 100% coverage from harmful UV rays, and inclement weather.
Adjustable coverage, providing flexible protection from the sun and weather when it’s needed. Adjustable coverage includes an automated louvered roof system that operates at the touch of a button, retractable awnings, tensions systems with optional remote-control features, slide-on-wire fabric panels that can be easily adjusted from full shade to full sun, or anywhere in between.
Unique, creative shade solutions, such as lattice covers, shade sails, or pergolas are ideal for spaces that are not fully exposed to the sun, or adding unique shading effects.
Privacy and enhanced weather protection make any patio a sanctuary. Enclosures that optionally blend with an existing roof line, turn a patio into a sunroom or a screen room, or adding drop shades that can be raised or lowered at will are all attractive and versatile upgrades for any patio.

It’s good news to know there are so many options, and even better news to learn you can mix and match most of these choices to give your new patio a personal creative stamp.

The Shoreline team specializes in custom-solutions for patio covers for Atascadero and the Central Coast from Monterey to Ventura. The company’s reputation for detail, creative custom designs, in-house manufacturing, custom ornamental ironwork, and flawless installation has been serving the Central Coast since 1982.

And, Shoreline stands behind its products with a transferable Lifetime Warranty.
