awnings?

[Deleted]

Our house currently has an awning that looks like it is straight out of the 60s. I hate it and want to get rid of it but I do like haveing the porch covered.

We are considering building a roof (depending and difficulty and/or cost) but is there any other alternatives? Is there such a thing as a more modern awning?

Sunsetter? Kidding!

What about a pergola?

Pergolas aren't really covered are they? I do want to put a pergola up when we get our back deck up but this is going to be our frontporch/entry door. I would like it covered from the rain.

If it helps we have a 60s ranch style (hence the 60s awning). Is adding a roof going to be our best/only option?

Only? No. Best (in the long run)? Probably. But you could do a pergola with a canvas roof IF the styles suits the rest of the home (60s ranch? Probably not so much )

Building a roof over the porch would be $$$ compared to other options but it could have SUCH a great impact on your curb appeal if done right!
