At 3sixty Industries, we install custom awnings, build solid patio covers, and install retractable and motorized patio screens that turn a sun-drenched patio into a shaded, comfortable extension of your home. An awning and a patio cover solve the same problem in different ways: an awning is a lighter, often retractable fabric or aluminum system mounted to the house, while a solid patio cover is a permanently roofed structure with its own posts, beams, and footings, closer to a pergola with a solid roof. We build and install all three, and we'll tell you honestly which one fits your house, your budget, and how you actually use the space. See our Bluffdale patio covers page for the permit and HOA details specific to that city.
Every installation is custom, no templates, no shortcuts. We work closely with you to design a solution that fits your space, lifestyle, and budget. From material selection and frame style to coverage area and add-ons like lighting or motorized controls, we ensure every detail is crafted with care and purpose.
A retractable or fixed awning mounts to the house and gives you shade when you want it and open sky when you don't. Awnings suit patios and decks that need afternoon shade without the cost of a full roof. They're not snow structures, so a retractable awning should be retracted during storms and winter conditions unless the manufacturer says otherwise. Our guide to motorized patio awnings in Draper covers what holds up in Utah's sun, wind and snow.
A solid patio cover has its own posts, beams, and footings, attaches to your home, and carries real snow load, so it gives year-round protection that an awning can't. Because it's a permanent structure, permits and HOA review are more likely, and we confirm yours before we build. If you want a slatted or louvered roof instead of a solid one, see our pergola builds.
Retractable and motorized screens roll down to cut low-angle sun, glare, and insects while keeping your view, and roll away when you don't need them. They can be operated from a remote or a wall switch, and they work on a covered patio, a porch, or the edge of a deck. Because screens mount to an existing structure, we check what they will attach to and how wind will load them before we install.
We start by understanding how you plan to use your shaded space, then design a system that maximizes coverage, function, and curb appeal. From patio and deck awnings to a fully roofed patio cover with integrated lighting, your installation is shaped to suit your outdoor lifestyle.
Choose from premium materials like weather-resistant fabric, powder-coated aluminum, and retractable frame systems from trusted manufacturers, or timber and engineered framing for a solid patio cover. All materials are selected for durability, UV resistance, and minimal maintenance, so it stays beautiful season after season.
As a licensed and insured contractor, we follow all local building codes and handle permits, inspections, and safety requirements. A solid patio cover attaches to your home and carries real snow load, so we size the framing and connections for that, not just for appearance. Motorized louvers, lighting, heaters, or fans on either system typically need a separate electrical permit and GFCI-protected, wet-location-rated wiring.

An awning gives flexible shade for less structure and is retractable, while a solid patio cover is permanent, carries snow, and protects the space year-round. We'll walk through the tradeoffs for your house and how you use the patio before you decide.
Yes. We install retractable and motorized patio screens for patios, porches, and deck edges, and we check what they'll attach to and how wind will load them first.
It depends on your city and the project. A solid patio cover attached to the house is more likely to need a permit than an awning or screen, and an HOA may require approval either way. Motorized controls, lighting, heaters or fans typically need a separate electrical permit. We confirm the requirements before we build.
Retractable awnings are not snow structures, so they should be retracted during storms and winter conditions unless the manufacturer says otherwise. A solid patio cover is built to carry snow.
A solid patio cover can, if it's designed for it. We size the posts, beams, connections and footings for the snow load and wind at your site, with footings below the frost depth.
