If you are never going to want sun on your patio, then a DIY stationary pergola canopy is probably the way to go. The next one of my DIY pergola cover ideas is to use outdoor canvas to create a stationary canopy over the patio. This will prevent the blade from chopping through the lattice sheet. Two when cutting our lattice with a circular saw, reverse the blade. This will prevent rust stains on your lattice. The best solution is to frame your plastic lattice. One use stainless steel nails or screws to secure your lattice sheets. The simplest solution is to nail a 1x2 trim plank over the lattice into the wood only, allowing the panel to float freely. Which was more work than I wanted to do.īut I’m leaving it on the list because growing vines over your pergola could work well in other situations. Before we get into each project type we have a couple of suggestions. I was constantly having to clean up the grill area before I could use it. So trying to get it to stay just over the pergola was (and to be honest…still is) a nightmare. Well…in my neck of the woods, Wisteria is quite invasive (it’s now on my invasive plants list). You may ask, if I planted vines over the top of my pergola, why am I looking for some other shade solution now? Which is why I’ve been searching for DIY pergola cover ideas (ideally that are waterproof) to provide some extra shade and rain protection for my little grilling area patio. So I would love to be able to stay out there and not get soaked. Which always seem to occur right after I have put the food on the grill. But here in South Carolina, we tend to get a lot of 15 minute rain storms in the afternoon. Not that I expect to be standing out there all day in the rain. 72. While the pergola provides some shade, it isn’t very helpful during the day when the sun is directly overhead (prime cookout hours!) And it doesn’t provide any protection at all when it’s raining. Lattice Patio Covers can be sculpted to fit the curves of your concrete or pool, and the lattice tubes can be spaced to give you as much or as little shade as you would like. And that’s a cover for the pergola that goes over my outdoor kitchen area. Now that it’s looking good, I’ve been doing a lot more grilling out there.Īnd while I love my new updated cooking space, there’s one thing missing. It is also fairly low maintenance but is not as durable as other materials. Dont want to eliminate all the sun Try our picket vinyl patios covers. It is easy to work with and comes in many different styles. No need for sanding, painting, replacing and maintaining your patio cover. Vinyl is one of the lowest-cost options for any cover. Back in the spring, I did a deck and patio makeover that included sprucing up my outdoor kitchen area. The average costs of a vinyl cover are between 5 and 13 a square foot installed.
