 <\/p>\n

Thinking of adding a patio cover to your home? Lattice covers are a modern and beautiful addition to a home exterior. Solid patio covers such as metal awnings are outdated compared to a chic lattice covering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Lattice Cover for Patios?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Solid patio coverings and lattice patio coverings are the two main kinds of awnings that you can choose for an outdoor patio space. As the title self-describes, a solid patio covering has no holes in it and does not allow any sun to shine through. A lattice cover on the other hand has criss crossing wooden or metal parts which do allow sunlight and rain to come through.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Lattice Covers For Plant Lovers<\/span><\/h2>\n

      If you love plants then a lattice cover may be the right patio covering for you. A fixed awning with a solid cover will prevent rain water and sunlight from falling on the patio, which makes it a less than perfect environment for plants. If you want to keep plants alive on the patio, having dappled sunlight and natural rainfall will help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Another benefit for plant lovers is that lattice covers are perfect for adding vine plants. Flowering vines will grow up over the lattice for a stunning result. Here are a few examples of the kinds of vines that are perfect for decorating lattice covers:<\/span><\/p>\n

      • Grape vines\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Using vines with a lattice cover is a stunning design, and it is practical as well. If you don\u2019t have space for a garden, using the patio cover as a makeshift garden makes the most of your outdoors space in urban areas. The plants also add additional shade for the hot summer days. Enough flowering vines can almost create a solid covering that protects from the elements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
