Our Solutions for Protection from the Summertime Outdoor Elements

When it comes to enhancing your outdoor living space, California Custom Decks can provide various solutions to ensure comfort and protection from the elements.

Here are some of the key options we offer to provide shade, relief from the sun, and a dry area for relaxation.

SUNROOMS

Offer an enclosed, climate-controlled environment with ample natural light.

 

A sunroom is a versatile addition that offers a seamless blend between indoor and outdoor living. These enclosed spaces typically feature large windows or vinyl walls, allowing you to enjoy natural light while being sheltered from direct sunlight, rain, and other weather conditions. Sunrooms are perfect for those who want to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors with the comfort and climate control of being indoors.

 

We offer custom sunroom designs including four season, three season, and screen rooms. Add a fireplace or an outdoor kitchen and complete the perfect outdoor living space for your home!

COVERED DECKS

Provide a shaded, rain-protected outdoor living area that blends with your home.

 

A covered deck, also called roof over deck, is an excellent way to enjoy outdoor spaces regardless of the weather. By adding a roof to your deck, you can create a shaded area that protects you from the sun’s harsh rays and keeps you dry during rain showers. Covered decks can be designed to complement your home’s architecture, using materials that blend seamlessly with your existing structure.

PAVILIONS

Create a large, open-air space sheltered from sun and rain, perfect for gatherings.

 

Pavilions are freestanding structures that provide substantial shade and shelter. Typically built with a solid roof and open sides, pavilions offer a spacious, airy environment perfect for entertaining, dining, or relaxing outdoors. They can be constructed in various styles and sizes to fit your backyard’s layout and aesthetic preferences.

UNDER DECK PATIOS

Utilize the space beneath a deck for a dry, usable area.

 

Under deck finishes transform the space beneath an elevated deck into a functional, dry area. By installing a drainage system and finishing the underside of the deck, you can create a covered patio, garage/carport, or storage space that remains dry regardless of weather conditions. This solution maximizes the use of your outdoor area, providing an additional space for relaxation or storage.

PERGOLAS

Add aesthetic appeal and partial shade, enhancing outdoor living spaces.

 

Pergolas are open-air structures that provide partial shade and add an elegant architectural element to your outdoor space. Featuring a framework of vertical posts and crossbeams, pergolas can be enhanced with climbing plants or shade cloths to increase the amount of shade and create a more intimate, inviting environment. They are ideal for garden pathways, patios, or as an accent feature over a deck.

SHADES + CANOPIES + CURTAINS

Add-on canopies provide a flexible and practical solution for achieving full shade when needed. These canopies can be easily attached to existing structures such as pergolas, pavilions, or covered decks, offering immediate relief from the sun’s harsh rays. Additionally, for enhanced versatility and privacy, there are roll-down curtain options available. These curtains can be installed on the sides of pergolas and pavilions or along the edges of covered deck roofs. When deployed, they not only block out sunlight but also offer protection from wind and rain, creating a more comfortable and secluded outdoor space.

GAZEBOS

Full shade and protection with a picturesque design ideal for relaxing and entertaining.

 

Gazebos are charming, freestanding structures often designed with a hexagonal or octagonal shape and a solid roof. They provide full shade and protection from the elements while allowing for 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape. Gazebos can be equipped with benches or other seating, making them perfect for quiet retreats, social gatherings, or as a focal point in your garden.

“We just had our deck and screened-in porch renovated by California Custom Decks. Wow! What a great experience! Initially Mike did a great job with the planning and design. Our Lead Carpenter, Josh and his Crew were fantastic. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew. We’ve dealt with a lot of Contractors over the years but never experienced such professionalism and dedication. True craftsmen. California Custom Decks staff showed up on time and did everything they said they would and more. Kept us informed every step of the way. We are very pleased and would definitely recommend California Custom Decks to anyone needing a deck or screened-in porch.”
