Best Outdoor Patio Covers (Top 7 Design Ideas)

[@kevymoranski3887]

We love your approach. We are having a contractor create an outdoor kitchen very near to our docks on the canal. Our idea was derived from this video. Thank you. The idea is to allow fish to be brought to shore, cleaned, brought straight to the outside kitchen, then plated. With our fireplace area, and covered lounge area, we are thrilled to think the elegant entertainment we can provide.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Wow! I want to visit when it is done! I am SO EXCITED for u! Thank u for this comment. It provides added motivation to continue helping people with Backyard Ideas. I really appreciate it. Thank u again

“Don’t create a prison you will never leave” 🤯 I never thought of it like that but SO true! A detached structure is a great way to create a home destination. Love this!

[@chacha9674]

I like that deck! Looks like living room with kitchen outside the house. Better also put toilet and bedroom....

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Thank you! I really appreciate that you watched the video all the way through ❤🤗. Yes, bedroom and a toilet would complete it for sure 😂

[@it_is_what_it_is_brotha]

I love the idea of being able to incorporate water and fire into my backyard so those were most attractive for me to see. One consideration you may be able to add to your videos is how your climate may effect any design showcased, like your in portland but if someone is in a snowy state how would you alter the designs for cold and heat extremes or what to keep in mind before putting a water feature in. Thanks for the great quality work and designs being shared!

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Great climate idea Alex. Being from Portland we certainly DO NOT get enough snow moments - as we have ZERO it is hard to provide content as you suggest. However, our designers are the best and could assist with climate extremes in all areas. Thank you for your feedback and ideas Anthony Ferrara!

[@michaelwalker3460]

Some wonderful designs unfortunately in the UK we don't have the same weather as the USA and certainly not the amount of sunny days of the southern states, so the designs will need to be adopted to cater for winds and rains, (that why the UK country side is so green ! haha) but some fabulous ideas nevertheless.

[@yepyep6916]

Only places are like Cali and Florida with year-around great weather…other places like Texas or Maine either gets too hot outside to enjoy in the summer, and too cold in the winter. You might get 5 or 6 months of use…it’s just like a swimming pool

[@Kyuシ]

[@mirandaserrano1]

Amazing. Do you have any ideas like these, but for a two floor house?😅

[@marlaplunk2833]

Great video, but not everybody has 100k to throw down on outdoor spaces. Can you also show options for the common person's budget? I'm getting ready to build my own house, and I'm researching outdoor living space ideas. But I will never sink this kind of money into it. I need scaled down options without all the stone and 10x10 post and beam construction!

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Thanks for watching and commenting. We do not necessarily build scaled down versions so it would be difficult to feature them. I hope you found some inspiration with what we put together here.... Have an amazing day

[@jenniferklepees949]

[@amitpatel-gy3tu]

Hey micah I love your bars under the covered structure. I wonder how wide you make them and how to you decide whether to make it all one level or 2 levels (one for the bar and one for the work surface) and how wide? Also how wide are the upstanding timbers of the structures ?145mm? (Sorry metric measurements!) any guidance appreciate. Thanks in advance.

[@MrTalmaguer]

Gorgeous designs. A video that could be put into the works is talking about what size of structure would go well to the size of the backyard. Some people (me for example) have regular size backyards and are confused with what size of structure to go with To where it does not consume the entire backyard.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

For sure! Great video suggestion... Yes...its super important not to over do-it with the structure size.... U need uncovered outdoor area....for sure

[@nf9884]

[@zaloA.]

Hello, i was wanting to concrete my whole backyard however I'm liking the stone pavers. Maybe it would look nicer with those. Would it withstand as good as concrete though?

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Pavers are much longer lasting then concrete. They are individually stronger being on average 9000psi vrs concrete at 3000 psi. I hope that answers your question?? Have a wonderful day

[@suziperret468]

Beautiful ideas for outdoor spaces! How about mosquitos? We have a great yard but those biting mosquitoes keep us running indoors.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

We try to assist in a builder in different areas and will work with them on the design: I appreciate you watching and commenting. Pricing is tricky though. We do not give pricing on this channel as our viewers are from all over the world and there are different prices in different places. You can imagine how difficult it would be to give a general idea of typical pricing. We'd then spend countless hours discussing variables to each price/design. We also want to protect our homeowners from undue scrutiny. Important to us is protecting our homeowners from friends & family perceptions about their financial choices. I am pretty straight forward when someone meets via Zoom for a design consultation and then back that up immediately with a pricing video. The consultation is complimentary - Please contact me paradiserestored.com/contact-us/ and I will send you over our Pricing for Outdoor Living Design. If sounds good to you we can schedule a virtual meeting. Thank you, Micah Dennis

[@benhaze1010]

Fantastic suggestions here! One word of advise: check your local bylaws before starting such a project; in my case an attached patio falls under the allowed house projections toward the neighbors and anything significant would not meet the bylaw. Makes no sense as a detached design encroaches a lot more on the neighbors but the minds of our elected officials works sometimes in a mysterious way...
