Freestanding patio covers open up possibilities that attached covers simply can't match. Because they're self-supporting structures with their own posts and foundations, freestanding covers can be placed anywhere in your yard—over a pool area, beside a garden, next to an outdoor kitchen, or in the middle of your lawn. Your imagination is the only limit.
DCI Patios serves homeowners throughout Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Roseville, Rocklin, Granite Bay, Lincoln, Elk Grove, and the greater Sacramento region. As a family-owned and operated contractor, we bring the same attention to detail and quality craftsmanship to freestanding structures as we do to attached patio covers.

With proper engineering and installation, your freestanding cover will stand strong for decades—providing shade, comfort, and a stylish focal point for your outdoor space.
