Freestanding Patios Covers

Sometimes the best patio cover isn’t attached to your home

Do you already have a patio cover but need an entertainment space? Maybe your city or HOA requirements prevent you from building an attached patio cover, or maybe you just want a stand-alone patio cover. Maybe you already have a pool and need an area to watch the family swim while having an outdoor kitchen, so you don’t have to get wet floors every time someone wants to grab a drink. Our team of experts will guide you in selecting the ideal design to maximize the look and function of your space.

From concept to construction, we manage every detail to deliver a customized patio that complements your home and enhances your outdoor living area.

Enjoy anything under the sun… or the shade on your freestanding patio.

“I knew what I wanted — I wanted to describe my vision and sit back to allow the builder to handle all the details! I did not want to have to supervise the work. This is where TCP exceeded my expectations. I was able to relax while they handled EVERYTHING! When I did have a question...or last minute idea, they were immediately available & so easy to work with.”

FAQs: Freestanding Patios Covers

  • Freestanding patios typically take anywhere from eight weeks to a few months to complete. The timeline depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the design, as well as the time of year, since weather conditions can impact construction. Additionally, the permitting process varies by city, which can sometimes extend the timeline as we wait for approvals and handle inspections throughout the build. Rest assured, we’ll keep you updated every step of the way!

  • The size of your patio cover will depend on your backyard's dimensions, layout, and intended use. Are you planning to add a fireplace or an outdoor kitchen? Our team starts by examining your home survey to understand your lot size, boundary lines, and any restrictions. We’ll create a custom design that incorporates all this information while also considering your wishlist!

  • The primary distinction between a patio cover and a freestanding patio cover lies in their structure and installation. A patio cover is attached to the house, extending outward to provide shade and protection for the patio while seamlessly blending with the home’s architecture and utilizing the roofline for support.

    In contrast, a freestanding patio cover is an independent structure located in your yard. It offers shade and protection without being attached to the house, allowing for placement anywhere on your property. These covers come in various styles, providing greater flexibility in both placement and design, as well as enhanced versatility for your outdoor space.

  • There are countless possibilities for incorporating features into your freestanding patio! We’ve designed patio covers with fully equipped outdoor kitchens, stylish bars, cozy fireplaces, and inviting firepits to enhance your outdoor experience.

    Do you dream of enjoying draft beer on tap while hosting friends? Or perhaps you’d like a pizza oven to whip up fresh, homemade pizzas right in your backyard? Whatever your vision, we can make it a reality, transforming your freestanding patio into a versatile space for relaxation and entertainment!
