ACRYLITE ACRYLIC PATIO COVER INSTALLATION IN OREGON & WASHINGTON
Rick’s Custom Fencing & Decking installs Acrylite patio covers for homeowners across Oregon & Washington. This type of cover is often chosen when the goal is to add protection from rain without losing natural light.
Acrylite patio covers use translucent acrylic panels that allow daylight to pass through while still covering the space below. For many homeowners, this creates a more comfortable outdoor area that stays bright and open rather than fully shaded.
These covers are commonly installed over patios, decks, and outdoor seating areas where maintaining light is just as important as adding weather protection.

What Makes Acrylite Patio Covers Different
One of the biggest differences between patio cover options is how much light reaches the space underneath. Acrylite systems are designed for homeowners who want coverage while keeping the area feeling open. Rick’s installs Acrylite patio covers so they connect naturally with the layout of the patio or deck and perform reliably over time.
Natural Light Without Full Exposure
The acrylic panels allow daylight to filter through the structure, helping the covered space feel brighter during the day.
Protection From Rain
Even though the panels allow light through, they still provide reliable coverage that helps protect patios and decks from rainfall.
Maintains an Open Outdoor Feel
Because the roof isn’t solid, the space doesn’t feel closed in. This makes Acrylite a good fit for areas where maintaining an outdoor atmosphere is important.
Works Across Different Outdoor Spaces
Acrylite patio covers can be installed over both ground-level patios and elevated decks, depending on how the space is used.
Acrylite Patio Cover Design Considerations
The way an Acrylite patio cover is positioned and configured depends on how the outdoor space is used and how much light or coverage is preferred. These factors help shape how the patio cover functions and how it fits into the surrounding outdoor space.
Size and Layout of the Covered Area
The dimensions of the patio or deck help determine the overall structure and post placement.
Sun Exposure Throughout the Day
Because light passes through the panels, orientation plays a role in how much sun reaches the space at different times.
Connection to the Home or Yard
Many Acrylite covers attach directly to the home, while others may be positioned as freestanding structures depending on the layout.
Planning Acrylite Patio Cover Installation
Planning begins with a closer look at how the space is used and where coverage will make the most difference. Rick’s works with homeowners to review:
- The size and layout of the patio or deck
- The amount of coverage needed
- Structural support and post placement
- Roof direction and drainage
Working through these details early helps the finished cover fit naturally within the overall outdoor layout.
