Patio for any Season West enjoys year-round outdoor living
A
cold front didn’t keep Kim West’s guests from enjoying a New Year’s Day brunch on the patio. “It started out really warm, then a front kind of came through, and so we turned on the heaters, and it was fine,” West recalled. A new all-weather patio cover with heaters and fans
allows West to entertain guests — or enjoy solitude — outdoors any time of year. “It’s kind of rare when you can’t be outside,” West said. “When it was -10, we were not here. But unless it’s really cold, you can be out here with the heaters and the fireplace.” West said the idea came when a good friend of hers insisted she get a patio cover.
