Fixed Awnings & Pergolas in Winnipeg
Add Shade and Comfort to Your Patio or Deck
Many patios and decks get full sun for most of the day. That makes the space difficult to use during the hottest hours. SunCo designs and builds pergolas and fixed awnings that create shade so the area stays comfortable for sitting, eating, or relaxing outside.
Adding shade often makes a big difference in how often the space is used. Instead of avoiding the patio in the afternoon, homeowners can spend time outside without being in direct sun. These structures also help define the outdoor seating area and make the backyard feel more complete.
Fixed Awnings
A fixed awning is one of the simplest ways to make a patio or deck more comfortable. By creating permanent shade, it protects the seating area from direct sun and light rain while keeping the space open to fresh air.
Many homeowners install a fixed awning over the part of the deck or patio that gets the most afternoon sun. The difference is immediate. The space underneath stays cooler and becomes a place where people can actually sit and relax during the hottest part of the day.
Because the structure is permanent, a well-built awning also becomes part of the home’s exterior design rather than something temporary attached to the house.
Pergolas
Some backyards already have a good patio or deck, but there’s nothing that breaks the sun above it. A pergola solves that by creating overhead structure without closing the space in. The beams cut some of the direct sunlight and make the seating area underneath easier to use during the day.
Pergolas are usually built over the part of the deck or patio where people spend the most time. That might be an outdoor dining table, a seating area, or a place where the family gathers in the evening. Once the structure is there, the space naturally feels more defined and comfortable.
Because the design stays open, the yard still feels bright and connected to the rest of the garden.
Made to Fit the Property
The best place for a pergola or awning depends on how the house and yard are set up. The layout depends on where the doors are, where the sun shines, and what features are already there.
For almost 30 years, SunCo has been building outdoor structures in the Winnipeg area. That experience helps make sure that the structure is put in a place where it will really make things more comfortable and useful, not just add another feature to the yard.

With the help of our SunCo team, we were able to figure out a perfect landing that transitions from the sunroom into the house. They were also very helpful in explaining the prep work that is involved before the actual addition starts (moving any hydro and electrical lines, getting permits, digging the piles, etc.) Once everything was in place, SunCo sent their team to erect the building. It was all up within a few days. The crew was very friendly and dedicated to their trade. The only issue that we have, which is completely out of SunCo’s realm, is that the winter elements along with the Windsor Park gumbo causes some windows to shift but this issue disappears once Spring arrives.
This addition to our home was the best renovation project that we’ve ever had done. We use it every day, from March to October. As soon as the Sun is capable of warming up this space, we’re in there. Sometimes we help the Sun out by throwing a small heater in there and its top notch! With our growing family, the sunroom is a perfect additional area for gatherings because there’s nothing better than enjoying a nature view while visiting with family and fiends. Weather permitting, our 7 granddaughters love to eat in the sunroom; independently from the adults. My husband has a side job which necessitates clients to drop off or pick up documents, and let me say, it is unbelievable as to how many people have commented on our sunroom. We have recommended SunCo over and over again. If anyone is contemplating on getting a sunroom, we would not hesitate to proceed with Backyard Paradise by SunCo.
Update: After posting this review, Roger, a company sales rep dropped in and gave us some very good recommendations on how to address the shifting issue. Great company! Thx.
We use it as our living room and our view of the nature around us is our T.V.
It is our sanctuary where we can unwind at the end of the day and restore peace to our lives.
When our family is over and our young grandchildren come, we fill it with toys and joy is had by all!
We would highly recommend Backyard Paradise to everyone.
We absolutely love our sunroom!!
We were very happy with the materials and workmanship, so we called them back in 2020 to build our replacement stairs and railing.
We use the sunroom 8 months out of the year. We eat, entertain, and relax in the sunroom. Our favourite is watching the humming birds that come to the plants right up to the door.
The sunroom is my favorite part of the house says our pet dove.
We love being outside without bugs bothering us.
We highly recommend the backyard Paradise by SunCo to build yours.
Happy anniversary.
The professionalism and service we received was top notch.
With this addition to our house, it has added such a nice space to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning and have company over at night to enjoy a drink and snacks while being protected by the mosquitoes but still feeling like we are outside.
This was a great experience from beginning to end and would highly recommend SunCo for your sunroom needs.
