A patio cover transforms an exposed backyard patio into a true outdoor room — usable in rain, protected from Oklahoma’s intense summer sun, and comfortable for a much larger portion of the year. VistaScapes Design & Build constructs custom patio covers throughout Tulsa, Oklahoma, from simple solid-roof structures to elaborate covered outdoor living rooms.
Types of Patio Covers VistaScapes Builds
Not all patio covers are the same. We build several styles based on what best fits the home’s architecture and the homeowner’s goals:
- Solid-roof patio covers: Full weather protection with wood framing, decking, roofing material, and optional ceiling fan and light rough-in. Attached to the house or freestanding.
- Open-lattice patio covers: Partial shade with architectural interest. Lets in filtered light and air while reducing direct sun exposure.
- Pergola-style covers: Traditional pergola rafter design with or without fabric shade inserts, shade sails, or polycarbonate roofing panels.
- Insulated aluminum patio cover systems: Low-maintenance, highly durable insulated panel systems that install over a standard beam structure.
What a Patio Cover Adds to Tulsa Homes
Oklahoma summers are genuinely brutal — heat indices over 100°F are common in Tulsa from June through August. A solid patio cover drops the perceived temperature of an outdoor sitting area significantly and makes afternoon and evening use realistic even in peak summer. It also protects outdoor furniture, outdoor kitchen appliances, and flooring surfaces from UV damage and rain exposure, extending their service life considerably.
