Lattice Patio Covers and Pergolas for San Diego
Lattice patio covers from Soltech provide partial shade while allowing natural light and fresh air through. Their open-slat design offers relief from the sun without fully blocking the warmth and brightness of San Diego’s weather.
The lattice style creates an inviting environment that transforms your patio, garden, or backyard pergola into a welcoming retreat.
What is a Lattice Patio Cover?
A lattice patio cover is an open structure with evenly spaced slats that create partial shade and allow sunlight and breeze to filter through.
While louvered covers adjust and solid covers fully block sunlight, lattice pergolas maintain a steady balance of light and shade.
Popular in San Diego for their versatility, lattice pergolas can be freestanding or attached to an existing patio.

Shade & Airflow
Lattice patio covers filter the intense San Diego sun, creating a comfortable mix of light and shade that keeps you cool without sacrificing natural light. The open-slat design also encourages refreshing airflow, making your outdoor space pleasant even on the warmest summer afternoons.
