What customer say about Equinox Louvered Roofs

“We love to entertain, but our patio was too hot in the summer. My wife wanted an open arbor while I preferred the closed type. Equinox gives us the best of both worlds. We plan to enjoy it a long, long time.”

– Florida Homeowner

“Our Equinox system is the best investment I’ve put into my home, the one that has the most value to me.”

Arizona homeowner

“We close it when it rains, go outside and experience the rainfall. The gutter system is fabulous; there’s never any water on our porch. Equinox delivers the quality it promised.”

Wisconsin homeowner

“We never really enjoyed our backyard until we got an Equinox. The tables and umbrellas around our pool were always hot, and we didn’t have enough shade. Now, groups of people don’t have to squeeze under an umbrella, and we adjust our Equinox roof as the sun moves during the day.”

North Carolina homeowner

“We wanted a system that would give us both light and shade. Our Equinox adds another room to our house and gives us options we didn’t have before. We’re delighted how Equinox has expanded our space and lets us enjoy the outdoors.”
