Simcoe patios deal with specific local conditions, and the right install accounts for them. Properties along the Lynn River corridor and around Wellington Park's Crystal Lake see steady mosquito pressure from late May through September. Homes on the rural fringe backing onto tobacco-belt fields and tree lines pick up extra wasp and biting-fly traffic once August heat sets in, and Lake Erie humidity holds the bug season later into the fall than most inland towns.
Most Simcoe installs are covered front porches and side decks on red-brick century homes along Norfolk Street and the downtown heritage streets or raised wood decks and walkout patios on postwar bungalows in the Birdtown and Queensway streets, with the occasional larger covered patio or restaurant terrace. We measure on-site, build to your exact opening, and install in a half-day. Drive time from our shop to Simcoe is around 45m. Installs typically schedule 3–4 weeks out.
Same retractable system, different mesh depending on what you're solving for. Bug protection or sun and heat. Pick the one that fits your patio.
