-You love your home, and when you bought it, you loved the patio. Visions of friends and family gathering for barbecues, lounging with neighbors while the kids play in the backyard, and enjoying spiced tea-fueled conversations with your book club. Instead, what you have is a patio filled with toys and bikes, a broken shovel, pots of dead plants, a greasy lawnmower waiting for a tune-up, and the patio table heaped with more toys, a gas can, faded seed packets, random tools, and stuff you’re not sure you want to touch. Take a deep breath and call Shoreline Awnings, Patio & Ironworks. The creative patio design team is waiting for your call! Wherever you live between Monterey and Ventura, including Arroyo Grande, a creative custom-designed patio is only a wish away!

What’s your dream patio?

Make a list by answering these questions about what kind of patio your mind sees:

• A solid cover, a lattice, or a louvered cover that lets speckled sunlight glimmer through? Something that has romantic, dimmable lights and an overhead fan?
• A retractable awning?
• A pergola or pergola-style cover?
• A combination of the above?
• Ornamental ironwork as accents?
• Screens that can be remotely controlled to raise or lower depending on the breeze, setting sun, or privacy?
• An enclosed sunroom?
• Anything else?

Take some time to think it through. Check out Shoreline’s portfolio for more ideas.

Creative, custom patio designs just for you

Shoreline Awning & Patio has been delivering patio and top-quality shade structures and outdoor living dreams since 1984. Custom-designing patios for Arroyo Grande and California’s Central Coast is Shoreline’s mission.

The hardest parts of switching your patio from funky to fantastic are going to be cleaning it out and getting someone to install an extra door to the garage so stuff can be stored in there instead of the patio. 

The Shoreline team specializes in working side-by-side with its customers to create the perfect patio. With Shoreline, you get:

• Custom-designed patios to your specifications.
• Expert and experienced recommendations for the best design strategies.
• In-house, custom manufacturing in their Paso Robles showroom.
• Custom, creative ornamental ironwork by Shoreline’s iron artists.

Overwhelmed by the choices for a fantastic patio?

It’s okay. The choices are abundant and limited only by one’s imagination. The Shoreline team is happy to help you discover what you want. Start with what you want to do in your new patio:

• Entertain with an outdoor kitchen, grill, barbecue, or a pizza oven?
• Stream your favorite music?
• Read, watch your favorite TV programs, or meditate?
• Enjoy morning coffee or some afternoon vino?
• Enjoy your new patio even when it’s cold or raining?
• Watch the kids play and listen to the dog bark?
• Romantic dinners after the kids are asleep?
• Enjoy a sunroom without wind and bugs?
• Add more here…
• All of the above?

Considering the weather patterns where you live helps you decide what you want for your new patio. Coastal communities may need more protection from fluctuating temperatures and breezes. Inland needs to consider summer heat. For mid-point communities such as Arroyo Grande, choosing patio covers and designs needs to consider local micro-climates.

-Pergolas are outdoor structures that can stand alone in a garden, or attach to a building or a deck. Pergolas are elegant structures that provide extra outdoor seating for relaxing and entertaining. Shoreline Awning, Patio & Ironworks offers several options for custom-designed pergolas to grace backyards and open spaces.

Pergolas are ideal for transforming open spaces into defined areas without major construction. With the right design and décor, a pergola in California can serve as a year-round, enjoyable outdoor space for outdoor living, dining, winetasting, and more. Even a simple, freestanding pergola can add value and curb appeal.

• Covering options include lattice, slide-on wire canopies, and sails—the creatively configured beams that are the open-lattice design can be configured to allow sunlight and air, but can also be covered to control shade. Some choose retractable, slide-on wire canopies or other fabric coverings. Some people train vines, like wisteria, to climb the sides and grow over the top.
• What about wind, heat, and bugs?—Pergolas can be enclosed with drop shades or zipper track screen systems. Both of these siding options are custom-made by Shoreline to exact dimensions. They can be raised or lowered as desired to block wind, keep insects out, block the heat, or low-laying sunlight. Remote operation options are available with manual override, and manual operation is also available.
• Pergolas can also be specifically designed to accommodate ceiling fans and light fixtures.

Pergolas are just one of the classic shade structures offered by Shoreline Awning, Patio & Ironworks. The company has been providing awnings, patio covers, and pergolas to Paso Robles and communities from Monterey to Ventura since 1982.

Pergolas, awnings, patio covers, canopies, shade sails, and more are all custom-designed by talented Shoreline staff at their Paso Robles showroom, which is also the manufacturing site. Custom ironwork is also available for any ornamental and functional purpose imaginable.

Shoreline’s custom shade products are crafted with unparalleled expertise and attention to detail. The team works side-by-side with you to craft the perfect day in the shade. Your vision is their vision, and they stand behind their products with a transferable Lifetime Warranty.

Everything is custom-designed and manufactured to precise detail from inception to installation. High-quality materials, UV-resistant fabrics in a wide spectrum of colors, and detailed workmanship are the hallmark of every Shoreline product, including pergolas for Paso Robles and homes and businesses throughout the Central Coast.

What, exactly, is custom-designed?

When the Shoreline team custom-designs your shade and patio, it works with you to create the original space that you have envisioned. You won’t find your particular design anywhere else, unless your neighbor loves it so much they copy you.

Once the plans are drawn up and you have approved them, everything is manufactured and assembled in Shoreline’s Paso Robles showroom, including custom cutting and stitching the fabric used for awnings, canopies, and shade sails. All assembly and welding for wood or metal tops, pergolas, gazebos, and awning frames is completed in-house and installed by Shoreline’s installation crews. Everything is created and installed to uncompromising quality standards that have served the Central Coast since 1982.

Lifestyles are personal, and whether your San Luis Obispo style includes a patio cover or a free-spirited personal design is entirely up to you.

Along with custom-designed shade structures, Shoreline has partnered with Hearth Financial to provide flexible, convenient financing options for both our residential and commercial customers. Affordable financing means:

• Enjoying your new outdoor space immediately, without waiting to save up.
• Preserving your savings while still getting the custom shade solution you deserve.

-A deck can be the heart of outdoor living, and the right shade solutions can transform it from basic to breathtaking. Using awnings, shade sails, and patio covers isn’t just about keeping cool—it’s about blending functionality with style so the deck becomes an extension of home and personality. Shoreline Awning, Patio & Ironworks has unlimited options for dressing up the deck. From adapting patio cover designs to a deck, to shade sails, pergola concepts, and stunning options for blocking the wind, turning the deck from just a wooden platform to an outdoor haven is easier than thought.

Creative options include:

• Retractable awnings in a variety of colors and patterns. Open the awning to enjoy the shade, or close it to enjoy the sun or star-filled night sky. Choose remote operation or manual. Fixed awnings are also available.
• Louvered covers that open and close with the touch of a button, and adjust to any angle to direct shade where it’s wanted.
• Lattice covers for an elegant, partial shade effect.
• Solid covers from Shoreline can be designed and manufactured to specifications to cover all or part of the deck.
• Choose a screen room effect with any type of cover and custom-designed adjustable drop shades.
• Shade sails or slide on wire fabric panels add a crisp, colorful, modern feel to any space, combining the play between sun and shade with sensations of dancing with the air. Colors from neutral to as bright as you choose add energy. Shade sails are triangular and typically overlap so the sunlight and breezes can play through the layers. Rectangular-shaped slide on wire on wire panels can be adjusted along tension wires depending on the amount of shade or sunlight wanted.

-From outdoor dining to relaxing with friends, there’s no reason California patios can’t be enjoyed year-round. The selection of durable and stylish patio covers, enclosure options, accessories, and custom designs has brought a new level of form and function to the patio. Shoreline Awning, Patio & Ironworks, has been a trusted name for custom-designed patio environments since 1982.

Many California regions enjoy year-round pleasant weather with mild winter rain, and outside dining and entertaining remain popular between weather fronts. Some home and business owners choose to completely enclose an outdoor section for a fully sheltered outdoor feel. Others choose versatile, weather-proofing sheltering concepts. Some choose a combination of both.

The advantages of enclosures, such as sunrooms, are full protection from the elements on rainy, windy days and the warmth of the sun on clear days. Optional features such as retractable roofs and folding doors can effortlessly turn an enclosed space into an open space.

For those who prefer a more perpetual openness, combinations of retractable awnings, patio covers, and versatile drop shades can provide both shelter and a seamless outdoor feel.

The Shoreline team custom-designs patio covers for Arroyo Grande and California communities from Monterey to Ventura. The team has summarized the options for creating all-weather patio solutions. Today’s sophisticated designs and advanced materials are the perfect foundation for integrating lifestyles and the weather. Helping home and business owners understand the choices they have available for the all-weather patio they envision is one of the first steps: Those choices include:

• Retractable and fixed frame awnings.
• Drop shades and zipper track systems.
• Patio covers, from solid to louvered, and more.
• Enclosures, including sunrooms and screen rooms.

These options are further enhanced by technologies that include remote operation, timed operation, advanced UV-resistant state-of-the-art fabrics, gazebos, pergolas, shade sails, ornamental ironwork, and custom design and manufacturing.

The possibilities are limited only by imagination. Imagine a patio with a louvered cover that can be remotely controlled to open or close, depending on the weather. Sophisticated drop shades, either manually or remotely operated, protect guests from the wind. A heater or firepit warms the space on a cold day, and overhead fans cool it in the summer.

Imagine a section of the patio dedicated to guest comfort with a solid, insulated cover that connects to a latticed cover, or shade sails, for natural lighting and pleasant weather enjoyment.

Relying on an awning and patio company that specializes in custom solutions is going to bring every vision for a stylish, all-weather patio to reality. Shoreline Awning, Patio & Ironworks specializes in custom-designed patio and awning solutions for Arroyo Grande and California weather. The team’s experience, attention to detail, creative and elegant custom solutions, and in-house manufacturing have made Shoreline the regional leader for shade and weather protection. Homeowners, businesses, industries, retail, restaurants, wineries, event venues have relied on Shoreline for decades for stylish and functional storefronts, al fresco dining, patios, gazebos, backyard spaces, and open spaces.

We were privileged to partner with JW Design & Construction, Inc. to install custom louvered pergolas at the new AVA Hotel in Paso Robles, framing the view at the rooftop bar, Esperanza. The project balanced aesthetic clarity, functional comfort, and long-term durability — a perfect example of how well-executed outdoor architecture raises a hospitality experience. Check out our Facebook video here of rooftop and also here.

At Shoreline Awning, Patio & Ironworks, we design and build custom awnings, patio covers, and shade structures for both homeowners and businesses. Whether it’s creating a comfortable backyard retreat or elevating a commercial space, our solutions combine style, strength, and functionality.

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 & Ironworks 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.
