What is a Patio?<\/h2>\n

A patio is a courtyard or terrace<\/strong> within a plot of land, usually surrounded by the walls of the house<\/strong> or building to which it belongs. When covered, the patio offers protection from the elements, such as sun, rain or wind, while still allowing you to enjoy the outdoors.<\/p>\n

A patio can be an extension of your living space, offering a place to relax<\/strong>, a space to eat, or even a place to garden. It can be designed in a variety of ways to suit your tastes and needs: modern, rustic, tropical, minimalist… the possibilities are endless.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/protection-terrasse.jpg” alt=”patio” title_text=”terrace protection” _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-41px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”314px” custom_padding=”||42px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ text_text_color=”#494949″ custom_margin=”-63px||0px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

1. Preparation and planning<\/h3>\n

The first step in creating a covered patio<\/strong> is planning. It’s important to define the space you have and think about how you want to use it. Would you like a dining area? A place to relax? A winter garden? These questions will help you determine the type of furniture and fittings you need.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/preparation.jpg” title_text=”preparation” _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”48px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/pexels-miguel-a-padrinan-194096.jpg” title_text=”pexels-miguel-a\u0301-padrin\u0303a\u0301n-194096″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||14px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

2. Select materials<\/h3>\n

The choice of materials is a crucial step in the design of a covered patio. These need to be weather- and wear-resistant<\/strong>, yet aesthetically pleasing<\/strong>. Wood, for example, adds a warm, natural touch, while polycarbonate is lightweight and durable. Composite materials can also be used, combining the advantages of several materials.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

3. Covered patio installation<\/h3>\n

Once you’ve defined your plan and chosen your materials, it’s time to move on to installation. This stage may require the intervention of a professional<\/strong>, especially if the patio’s structure is complex. It’s important to ensure that the structure is solid and secure, and that the patio roof offers sufficient protection from the elements.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/pexels-ksenia-chernaya-5691501.jpg” title_text=”pexels-ksenia-chernaya-5691501″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/pexels-maria-orlova-4916540.jpg” title_text=”pexels-maria-orlova-4916540″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

4. Furnishings and decoration<\/h3>\n

Finally, once the structure of your patio is in place, you can move on to landscaping and decorating. Now is the time to choose your furniture, plants and decorative accessories<\/strong>. Remember, your patio is an extension of your home, so it should reflect your style and personality<\/strong>.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ text_text_color=”#494949″ custom_margin=”||0px|” custom_padding=”||0px|” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

Key elements for a successful patio<\/h2>\n

The choice of colors<\/h3>\n

Color plays a crucial role in the design of a covered patio. They can set the mood<\/strong>, highlight certain elements and even influence your mood<\/strong>. For a patio, natural<\/strong>, soothing colors<\/strong> such as green,<\/strong> beige<\/strong> or gray<\/strong> are generally recommended. However, don’t hesitate to add touches of bright color<\/strong> to energize the space.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Choosing furniture<\/h3>\n

Furniture is another key element in the design of a covered patio. They must be both aesthetically pleasing and functional<\/strong>. Choose furniture that is weather-resistant and easy to maintain. Think comfort too: comfortable chairs,<\/strong> a table<\/strong> at the right height, soft cushions<\/strong>… all these will help make your patio a pleasant space to live in.<\/p>\n

Bohemian style<\/h3>\n

The bohemian style is ideal for a patio. It creates a warm, welcoming space, with rattan furniture<\/strong>, colorful cushions<\/strong>, ethnic rugs<\/strong> and plenty of plants<\/strong>. Don’t hesitate to add decorative elements such as lanterns or string lights for an even cosier ambience.<\/p>\n

Seaside style<\/h3>\n

If you dream of year-round vacations, why not give your covered patio a seaside feel? Opt for bleached wood furniture<\/strong>, cushions with marine motifs, shells and plants reminiscent of the coast<\/strong>. You can even set up a hammock for a nap in the shade!<\/p>\n

Natural style<\/h3>\n

For those who want to get closer to nature, the nature style is also perfect for a patio. This style emphasizes natural materials such as wood, rattan, linen<\/strong> with a palette of colors inspired by nature deep greens, earthy browns, sandy beiges.<\/strong> Plants play a major role in this style, so don’t hesitate to add a variety of green plants. You can also incorporate elements such as water fountains<\/strong>, stones<\/strong> or Japanese steps<\/strong> to create a space that evokes the serenity of a natural garden. With nature’s style, your covered patio will become a veritable green sanctuary.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/patio-nature.jpg” alt=”natural patio” title_text=”patio-nature” _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”229.5px” custom_margin=”13px|auto||auto||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/patio-minim.jpg” alt=”single patio” title_text=”patio-minim” _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
