Why Cedar Patio Extensions are

taking over Texas

Extending your patio creates more usable outdoor living space, boosts your home’s value, and makes entertaining or relaxing outside more comfortable and enjoyable.

Why are cedar patios taking over Texas?

Tiny patios? Not in Texas. Homeowners across the Lone Star State are saying goodbye to cramped outdoor spots and hello to covered patio extensions that bring comfort, style, and shade to everyday living.

At Lasso Works Cedar, we know that outdoor living is at the heart of Texas culture , from Dallas Cowboys game-day barbecues to warm summer nights with friends in Houston. A custom cedar patio cover doesn’t just add square footage; it transforms your backyard into the ultimate gathering space.

It’s Not Just About Resale Value

Sure, adding a patio extension in Texas can boost your home’s value (Realtor.com), but most Texans aren’t building one for the next buyer. They’re building it for themselves.

Think of it as an upgrade to your lifestyle:

  • Hosting the whole neighborhood without worrying about the weather.

  • Morning coffee in the shade, even in August.

  • Outdoor spaces that feel like a natural extension of your home.

Why Cedar Covered Patios Are a Texas Must-Have

Texas weather is unpredictable, but the right cedar patio cover means you don’t have to head inside every time the skies open up or the thermometer spikes. Here’s why homeowners from Dallas, Denton Fort Worth area and beyond, are upgrading.

1. Year-Round Outdoor Living

From blazing summers to mild winters, a covered patio makes your yard usable in every season. Shade in the summer, shelter in the rain — it’s your ticket to outdoor comfort 365 days a year.

2. Seamless Style

A cedar cover doesn’t just function well; it looks incredible. Whether your home is modern in Denton, classic in Dallas, or ranch-style in Flower Mound, cedar blends naturally with your design.

3. Serious Weather Protection

We’re talking more than just shade. A solid roof protects furniture, flooring, and outdoor appliances from hail, rain, and the harsh Texas sun (Texas A&M Climate Center). That means your investment lasts longer, and so does your backyard setup.

4. Built for Entertaining

Game-day parties, family cookouts, or late-night hangouts, a covered extension gives you the room and comfort to host without worrying about heat or storms.

5. Perfect Excuse for an Outdoor Kitchen

In Texas, grilling is a way of life. With a covered patio, you’ve got the shade and ventilation you need to create the ultimate outdoor kitchen or bar.

6. Space for Extras

Lighting, fans, misters, even sound systems, your patio cover doubles as the perfect foundation for all the little luxuries that make your outdoor space feel like a true living room.
