Built for Okanagan Weather. All of It.
Our valley doesn’t do “mild.” You get 40°C July afternoons, wet shoulder seasons, and real snow up north every winter. So most backyards get used hard for about three months, then sit empty the rest of the year. A solid aluminum cover changes that.
- Beats the heat. Full shade on the hottest afternoons. It’s the coolest, most-used seat in the yard the second you step under it.
- Shrugs off rain and snow. A solid roof, over-built for BC winters. Snow slides off. Rain stays out. The plan never moves.
- Outlasts everything else out there. Aluminum won’t rot, rust, warp, or crack. No maintenance beyond an occasional hose-down.
We size the structure for your exact spot in the valley — Kelowna sun and Vernon snow aren’t the same job, and we build for yours.
15 Reasons Okanagan Homeowners Cover Their Backyard
Skim the bold. Read the ones that hit home.
Beat the heat without going inside. Full shade makes it noticeably cooler underneath the moment you step under it. That west-facing patio finally becomes usable at 4 p.m.
Rain or shine, the plan never moves. A solid roof means you stop checking the forecast before you invite anyone over.
Snow just slides off. Over-built for BC winters and sized for your spot, so a heavy Okanagan dump is a non-event.
Your patio furniture stops dying. Out of the sun and rain, cushions and wood furniture last years longer instead of fading and rotting.
Your house stays cooler too. Shade the south- and west-facing glass and your AC stops fighting the afternoon sun. Noticeably cooler inside.
A second living room that opens to the sky. Add lights, a fan, some heaters. Suddenly wine nights and lake sunsets happen at home, not somewhere you had to drive to.
Your season doubles. Uncovered, most Okanagan backyards get about three usable months. Covered, you’re comfortably out there April through October.
The party never gets rained out. Host with no backup plan and no scramble. The covered patio is the plan.

“We got three quotes and chose Okanagan Patio Covers — no pressure, just straight answers.”
Linda P. · PentictonYour hot-tub and morning-coffee weather gets longer. Soak in October. Coffee in April. Those shoulder-season rituals become normal instead of a dash through the cold.
It looks like it cost more than it did. Colour-matched to your home with a clean, finished-room look. Not a bolted-on afterthought.
Weekends are for using the yard, not sanding it. No staining, sealing, or rot to chase every spring. A hose-down and you’re done.
It’s the last cover you’ll buy. Wood and fabric get torn down and replaced. Solid aluminum lasts decades, and it’s backed by our 30-year warranty.
Buyers in the valley look for it. Usable covered outdoor living is a real selling feature in Okanagan listings.
It’s made here and backed here. Designed and manufactured in our West Kelowna shop by our own crew. Not a boxed import with a warranty you can’t cash.
It goes up in about a day, and you can start this week. Because we design and build in-house, there’s no long import wait. We can usually get on-site within days.
Real Okanagan backyards we've covered
Every cover is custom-made in our West Kelowna shop and installed by our own crew — no subcontractors.
Where Aluminum Wins — and Where People Hesitate
We’d rather you buy the right cover than the loudest one. So here’s the straight version.
Where solid aluminum wins
- vs. wood. No rot, no annual staining, no ants, no sagging. Wood is a chore that starts the day it’s built.
- vs. glass. More shade on hot days, nothing to squeegee, and no cracked panel after a hailstorm.
- vs. fabric or retractable. Nothing to tear, sag, or quit in the wind. A solid roof stays put and stays quiet.
Where people pause (and the honest answer)
How to Choose a Patio Cover Company
A few minutes here can save you a bad install. Here’s what separates the pros from the problems.
Look for
- A team that designs, builds, and installs — not a middleman subcontracting the work out.
- Covers made locally for our snow, not a flat-pack import sized for somewhere warmer.
- A real local track record you can verify: 4.9★, 32 Google reviews, 1,500+ covers since 2005.
- A warranty backed by the people who made it: 30 years, from a West Kelowna shop you can drive to.
Red flags
- Subcontracted installers who disappear the day after install.
- Imported kits with a warranty that’s impossible to claim.
- Vague answers about who actually makes and backs the product.
- No local reviews and no local address.
