Q: What materials are best for different climates?

• <div><p>Durable materials suited for climate include aluminum for coastal areas or composite wood in varying environments for durability and minimal upkeep.</p></div>

Q: What are the alternatives to soffits?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/soffit-vs-fascia.htm">Fascia and soffits differ</a> in their location and design, but fascia vents are the most popular alternative to soffits. These are a bit more hidden than soffits, but depending on the structure of your roof, they can cost more to install and maintain. They are also installed around the entire roof, whereas soffits can be placed only where you need them or, if the aesthetics bother you, somewhere out of sight. </p></div>

Q: Can a retractable awning improve a home’s value?

• <div><p>A retractable awning won&rsquo;t necessarily increase your home&rsquo;s value very much, but it can offer a boost of aesthetic appeal to potential buyers. In the long-term, however, a well-placed awning will save you money on cooling and protect your deck and outdoor furniture from sun exposure during the hot summer season.</p></div>

Q: What is the best roof covering for a pergola?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to opt for a lightweight roof, as a heavy roof adds a lot of weight and pressure to the support posts and hardware and destabilizes the structure. Vinyl is a good, lightweight option, as is a nice open trellis, louvered aluminum or vinyl slats, or fabric panels. Clear polycarbonate is another great option that offers seamless shelter and additional UV protection without completely obscuring the sunshine. You can also choose retractable coverings or an awning that you only use in wet weather or when you need additional shade.</p></div>

Q: Can awnings handle heavy rain?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not a good idea to allow heavy rain to fall on your awning, as puddling can occur and overload the awning. Your awning should be able to handle a light rain, though you should allow it to dry out before retracting it or open it to dry as soon as the rain stops. As always, consult manufacturer guidelines for using and caring for your awning.</p></div>
