patio cover

Outdoor ceiling addition

A patio cover is a permanent or semi-permanent roof structure extending from a building to shelter an outdoor patio area.

Unlike umbrellas or canopies, patio covers are typically attached to the house and may be solid, louvered, or latticed: We added a patio cover so we could grill even when it rains.

Also called a patio roof.
