Lattice patio covers in Riverside and the Inland Empire

Enjoy the perfect balance of sun and shade.

Stylish shade option for Southern California living.

Lattice patio covers, also called open lattice covers, provide a timeless look with just the right amount of shade. With evenly spaced beams, you’ll enjoy up to 50% filtered sunlight—making them ideal for homeowners who want light, airflow, and comfort without full coverage.

Lattice patio covers also add a clean, modern look to your home. They’re perfect for creating a stylish outdoor living area for barbecues, family gatherings, or everyday relaxation in your backyard.

What are the benefits of lattice patio covers?

Protect Your Home & Furniture

By blocking direct sunlight for part of the day, lattice covers extend the life of your outdoor furniture and prevent fading inside your home. That means less damage to windows, flooring, and living room furniture—and lower cooling costs during hot California summers.

Outdoor Living with Comfort

Reduces heat while keeping open-air ventilation. Creates a shaded retreat without feeling enclosed. Provides the ideal environment for plants that don’t thrive in full sun.

Built with Aluminum for Strength

All of our lattice patio covers are built with durable aluminum components that are engineered to last. With wood-embossed textures and baked-on enamel paint, you’ll enjoy the look of real wood with none of the hassle.

Southern California Tough
