How do I build a patio cover cheap?
+3
I have a 13 x 14 concrete patio and need a cover for the fierce Central Texas heat. Contractor wants $4,000 which is so far over my budget. Any ideas?

You could buy a sail patio cover and install it yourself. It is an inexpensive option. Check these out on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/sail-patio-covers/s?k=sail+patio+covers

I saw sail patio covers at Costco for a rather cheap price--about $30, if I recall correctly. If you need to, you could use two.
My other thought, that eliminates the need for a contractor, is a big offset umbrella, though they're a bit pricey.
That is a fair price even if it is out of your budget. Have you considered building yourself? Or how about an EZ Up? Or a sail shade?
Hello, I have the similar problem, regret not making the screen porch larger. The sun is much too intense and hot making my newcdeck unusable.
My neighbor put up the sail -carabiner shades, they are very effective and attactive, withstood stormy weather, but Im nort sure about winter and snow, if they will be removed or not.
A pergola woukd be more substantial and structural but not as budget friendly.
