One Stop Patio Shop has been building patios for 20 years, and for most of this time, we have been pulling down flat patios and replacing them with Gables Patios.

The reason for this is they are generally too hot to entertain under. We understand that it’s important to keep within budget but we will always try and create height over where you are entertaining as its height that gives a cool entertaining area.

Flat Patios can be a great way to weatherproof an area, between your carport and your front door, or down the side of your home. They are also effective at reducing the heat that enters your home through windows. So the rule of thumb is Low = Hot and adding height adds massive value to your biggest asset.
