Deck & Patio Awnings
At BrightCovers®, we specialize in creating extended living spaces for both homes and businesses. Our deck and patio awnings provide a comfortable outdoor area to grill, entertain, relax and enjoy no matter the weather. By adding more outdoor living space homeowners not only increase their home’s usable square footage but also the value of their property.
Unlike traditional canvas or retractable awnings, our BrightCovers® awnings won’t darken adjacent rooms or bleach furniture, drapes, hardwood or carpeted floors due to the UV inhibitors on our Lexan® panels. Our patio covers can be attached to your wall, fascia, roof or can be made to be freestanding. Plus, our professional installation teams can install our covers in just 1-2 days depending on the size.
Our deck covers are sloped, ensuring that rain and snow are whisked away either over the edge or into our integrated structural gutter system. They can be anchored into your existing deck, provided it is properly footed. We manufacture our BrightCovers® from recycled materials of aluminum and Lexan® panels, making them both ecological friendly to the environment and durable with very little maintenance.
At BrightCovers®, we want to help you create a more comfortable area on your deck or patio so that you can enjoy your hot tub or outdoor space in comfort after a long day. Contact us today and let us design an awning to help you create the perfect outdoor living space for your home or business!

The BrightCovers® system is virtually maintenance-free. A heavy rain will naturally clean the top of the roof panels and system. If debris or markings remain after a heavy rain, the entire system can be cleaned with dish soap, lukewarm water, and a non-abrasive cloth rag. Windex or other chemical based solutions are not recommended as they may damage the panels over time. The aluminum components can be similarly cleaned with dish soap and water; a melamine sponge (household name: “Mr. Clean Magic Eraser”) can be used on any aluminum surface to remove dirt, grime, or otherwise should dish soap and water not suffice.
