PatioProof

PatioProof is a mobile app (with optional web companion) that helps shoppers avoid the most common outdoor-furniture mistake: buying pieces that don’t fit their space, doorways, or layout. You scan your patio/deck/balcony with your phone, then drop in true-to-scale furniture models from major retailers or generic templates (so it works even without official 3D assets). The app checks clearance for walking paths, door swings, grill safety distance, and cushion storage needs, then outputs a simple “fits / tight / won’t fit” verdict with measurements you can trust. It also generates a shopping list with exact size constraints (max sofa length, table diameter, umbrella height) and a printable layout for installers. This is an AI-assisted app: AI helps convert product photos/spec sheets into usable 3D approximations and flags risky assumptions, but the core value is measurement accuracy and constraints, not gimmicky styling.
