Brace support canopies
Updated October 2026
C.J. Delery builds brace support canopies: patio covers and carports held up by overhead braces and steel brackets instead of posts, so the space underneath stays open. Brackets can mount over the roof of a raised house or a large carport, and every job is engineered and installed by our own crew.
Why choose brackets over posts
- No posts in the driveway, deck or walkway.
- Overhead braces and steel brackets that tie into the house, including brackets over the roof on raised homes.
- Works with DIY kits too: one customer built a clay overhead-braced kit.

Common questions
Can a patio cover be built without posts?
Yes. Brace support canopies use overhead braces and steel brackets that tie into the house instead of posts, leaving the space below open.
What warranty comes with a C.J. Delery cover?
Installed C.J. Delery covers come with a 20-year warranty on labor, materials and leaks, plus a 20-year warranty that the baked-on enamel finish will not crack, blister, chip or peel. The 12-inch flat economy panel carries a 5-year warranty.
Do you offer free inspections?
Yes. C.J. Delery inspects existing patio covers at no charge and quotes repair or replacement only if work is needed. Trade-in credit is available if we replace an existing cover.
Do you use subcontractors?
No. Every cover is built in our Louisiana shop and installed by our own in-house crew. No subcontractors, no franchises.
