If you want to take full advantage of your backyard, having a patio roof installed is the ideal way to extend your living space outside. Here are three ideas for how to use your new patio roof to make the most of your backyard:

• A place to relax — If you love spending sunny afternoons outside with a good book and a cool drink, you can create a cozy outdoor reading nook by arranging some chaise lounges around a cute end table. You can even add a battery-operated reading light for nights when you’d like to stay outside into the evening hours.
• Dining area — For homeowners who enjoy eating their meals al fresco, a patio can serve as a second dining room. Instead of outfitting the space with typical patio furniture, invest in a dining table large enough to fit many dinner guests, and make that the focal point of the area.
• Playroom — If you have children, you can use your patio as an outdoor playroom where they can get some fresh air while staying protected from the sun. A brightly colored, all-weather rug and some outdoor games will make this an inviting space sure to delight your kids.

If you’re interested in adding a patio roof to your backyard, TEMO — a leader in the outdoor living industry — manufactures a wide variety of styles, ensuring that you’ll be able to choose one that’s perfect for your needs. While our standard model is the pavilion, we also offer a sunlight pavilion option featuring a polycarbonate roof that allows natural light to pass through without sacrificing protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays. If you opt for this model, you’ll be able to select the shade of the patio roof from three standard colors and multiple custom colors. We also offer the St. Thomas model, which features a curtain wall with an optional retractable screen, as well as the Santa Fe model, which, in addition to the curtain wall, features pergola lattice running along the perimeter of the patio roof.
