Covered Patio Options for Broken Arrow Homeowners
Open-Beam Pergolas
The most popular covered patio structure in Broken Arrow — a pergola with horizontal rafters that provide filtered shade (approximately 40–60% sun block depending on rafter spacing), open airflow, and a natural overhead structure for fans, lights, and climbing plants. Cedar, aluminum, vinyl, and treated pine options. Open pergolas are the best choice when airflow is the priority and rain protection is secondary. Costs range from $5,500 to $20,000 depending on material and size.
Solid Patio Covers
A solid patio cover provides 100% shade and full rain protection — usable during Oklahoma summer downpours and during the intense afternoon sun of July and August. Options include insulated aluminum panel roofs (attached to the home’s fascia or on freestanding posts), corrugated polycarbonate panels (translucent — light filters through while blocking rain), and wood-framed roofs with metal or shingle roofing. Solid patio covers in Broken Arrow run $8,000–$22,000+ depending on size and roof system used.
Combination Structures — Solid + Open
The most functional covered patio configuration in Broken Arrow — a solid roofed section over the primary use zone (dining table, outdoor kitchen, or seating) combined with an open pergola lattice section over the secondary zone. The solid section provides weather protection where you need it most; the open section maintains the open-sky feel for the rest of the patio. These custom hybrid structures are designed to match your patio layout and home architecture.
Screened Patio Enclosures
A screened patio enclosure keeps insects out — critical for Oklahoma’s mosquito and mayfly seasons — while maintaining natural ventilation and connection to the outdoor environment. We build screened enclosures on existing patios or design them as part of a new patio build. Screen systems range from fixed aluminum-frame screens to retractable screen track systems that open and close on demand. Screened enclosures in Broken Arrow run $12,000–$30,000+ depending on linear footage and system type.
What to Consider When Planning a Covered Patio in Broken Arrow
- Orientation: Which direction does your patio face? A west-facing patio needs full shade by 3pm in summer; a north-facing patio may need less overhead coverage than you think
- Primary use: Dining requires overhead coverage; a fire pit seating area is more enjoyable open to the sky; a cooking zone needs protection from rain
- Attachment vs. freestanding: Attached structures connect to your home and require permits but are less expensive; freestanding structures have more placement flexibility
- HOA requirements: Some Broken Arrow HOAs have restrictions on structure height, materials, or roof types — we check relevant requirements during the consultation
