Escaping to the backyard—creating a patio where there was none
Is the lack of a formal patio preventing you from creating the outdoor living space of your dreams? Despair no more! Shoreline Awning & Patio has creative, custom-designed answers for you. Serving California’s Central Coast from Monterey to Ventura since 1982, Shoreline delivers outdoor living solutions for home and business patio spaces for San Luis Obispo and beyond.
Here’s how Shoreline can help you personalize a patio space anywhere, with or without a real patio.
Start with your vision
What do you see when you think of the perfect patio-like space?
- A comfortable, attractive place for relaxing and entertaining in the backyard?
- Creative seating for outdoor dining or winetasting?
- An arbor-style setting for wedding ceremonies?
- A barbecue and picnic area next to a pond or lake?
- Attractive shade shelter poolside, or covering a bocci ball court?
- What kinds of furnishings are you imagining?
- What other amenities would make it perfect, such as overhead fans or an outdoor fireplace?

- Shade sails add an aerodynamic feel to spaces, and the range of colors can set any mood from calm and peaceful to festive.
- Pergolas and gazebos can have solid tops, colorful canopies, and lattice or louvered tops.
- Sunrooms can be completely enclosed rooms, installed anywhere on your property, providing full protection from heat, cold, rain, and outdoor elements.

Or, you can choose your favorites and combine them in custom-designed configurations that express your personal style. Check out Shoreline’s online portfolio for more ideas.
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:
