To fully enjoy daily outdoor living here in San Antonio Hill Country, Archadeck knows that having your outdoor spaces is imperative. Let’s face it, it gets hot down here – and sometimes unbearably so. Depending on your outdoor living combination of our innovative projects, aluminum pergola covers, patio covers and screened rooms are a must.

In other areas, aluminum pergola covers, patio covers and screened rooms may be considered “nice to have”, but here it’s a different story. With these options for overhead protection, you can stay outdoors virtually all day long.
Our custom designed and built backyard and side yard outdoor living covers are an important necessity for daily functioning.
How effective are your aluminum pergola covers, patio covers and screened rooms in dealing with our high intensity temperatures?
As the Texas sun can be intense at times, there’s no reason to head back inside with our overhead structures for daily outdoor living.

Our sun heat gain can be lessened up to 15 degrees with the right aluminum pergola covers, patio covers and screened rooms from Archadeck. In addition to providing outdoor comfort, especially in the middle of the day, our shade covers can block harmful ultraviolet rays. And if you cherish daylong outdoor living as much as we do, that’s critically important. It’s all about making daily outdoor leisure more comfortable, practical and safer from risking skin cancer.
The bottom line? Archadeck aluminum pergola covers, patio covers and screened rooms transform your outdoor structures into daylong living areas.
Why does it get so hot in San Antonio and the Hill Country?
Scientists and meteorologist refer to it as the urban heat island effect. That’s where areas in our country radiate excessive heat and are trapped into surfaces. This is especially true for patios, hardscapes and concrete foundation installations.
This dynamic of trapped heat radiates up making walking barefoot out there a virtual impossibility. And when the sun sets for the day, the foundational radiance of the day’s heat remains. This is why overhead protection from aluminum pergola covers, patio covers and screened rooms is needed the quell that impact.
