In Southern California, material choice comes after the purpose is clear. And then, for fabric: look no further than Sunbrella® performance products, for UV resistance, water-proof, color fast, cleanability, seam quality, and hardware. For aluminum patio covers, look at finish quality, fastening methods, drainage, engineering, as well as how the system attaches to the home.
​
Maintenance should also influence the decision. Southern California awnings and fabric shades need cleaning and occasional inspection. Southern California canvas covers need proper drying and storage protocols. Southern California motorized, retractable shade systems need power, controls, and qualified service when needed. Southern California patio covers and pergolas need structural checks, especially after severe weather. Southern California drop shades help block glare and add privacy when the sun comes in from the side.
