Making a hot patio comfortable

Afternoon sun can make a patio unusable. A few changes bring it back into daily use.

Add shade where the sun hits

Watch where the afternoon sun lands, then place a pergola, cover or tree to block it.

Choose lighter paving

Pale stone and pavers stay cooler than dark surfaces.

Plant around the edges

Planting near the patio cools the air and softens the hard surfaces.
