Patio Covers in Thousand Oaks

Thousand Oaks is one of the most beautiful cities in all of California, in my opinion. Most commonly referred to as “T.O.” by the locals, the city was named for the emany oak trees which inhabit the city. While this city was initially just a stagecoach stop dating as far back as 1874, it is now one of the fastest growing cities in the country.

The climate in Thousand Oaks is extremely mild for the better part of the entire year with temperatures from October just under 68. That said, however, the summer temperatures can reach a scorching 95 degrees, haha.. Don’t let the people in Arizona hear you complaining.

Consequently, with such extreme heat, comes a need for shade. Patiocovered.com offers just that, shade.
