What Wood is Best for Patio Covers?
Patio Cover Wood Options
An important factor to consider with wood patio covers in Austin is the type of wood you build with. There are so many options, it can be hard to determine which are best. Any type of wood can create a great looking free standing patio cover or even an attached patio cover, but only a few will give you longevity. While not an exhaustive list, here some options that offer exceptional wear and tear. Redwood is known as a hardwood that withstands a good amount of weather. Cedar is a good option because like redwood, it is hard and is paint ready. It starts reddish and turns grey over time unless stained or painted. Douglas Fir is a great patio cover option as it's less expensive. Inspect this wood regularly for bugs and rot. Finally, pressure-treated wood. This type of wood isn't as attractive as others but is resistant to weather, rot, and bugs.

Wood Patio Cover Maintenance
Enjoy your patio cover for years to come
Your wood patio cover will need regular maintenance to ensure it withstands weather and insects. How often you need to do this maintenance depends a little on the type of wood you use. Some materials will last longer, but in general, we suggest inspecting and repairing on an annual basis. This might mean you need to stain or paint it or treat the wood with an insect repellent. Homeowners who fail to maintain their Austin wood patio covers end up having to do more repairs or it results in complete replacement.
The easiest way to maintain the wood covered patio is to put this on the same inspection schedule as your HVAC unit. Manufactures suggest a Spring and Fall schedule which will be good timing to check on your patio roof and wood structure.
