Alumawood Patio Covers might just be the perfect shade for you. With
the great looks of the most expensive lumber without the maintenance
these patio covers will look great year after year. Alumawood is strong
and lightweight and therefore more versatile than wood. It can be used
in place of wood for many different applications. Alumawood can be a
privacy sunscreen for your patio area, a window awning to block out
harsh sunlight, a deck or walkway railing, false beams for a ceiling, a
shield for your storage area or just the greatest shade ever made. We
will attempt to show you all the many wonderful ways Alumawood can be
used.
The first photo shows an Alumawood solid freestanding awning.
In order to use the four post system we installed steel beams inside
of the headers and used steel posts buried two foot in concrete.
Aluminum Lattice
Alumawood patio covers are made in two styles, solid and lattice.
The lattice covers can be made with 1 1/2" lattice or 2" lattice.
Lattice and solid panels can both be used in the same awning.
This gives a very nice effect, allowing protection from the rain in
areas and a partial shade in others.
This type of patio cover can be fit into any size or shape you
need.
This is a very large Alumawood lattice patio cover
installed on a RV resort clubhouse in Mesa Arizona.
This all aluminum structure is really quite simple in
design and easy to install. The main components are
the posts and post wraps, the header beam, the rafters
and the lattice. For long lengths like this one
lattice splices are used to connect the lattice sections.
They are inserted over a rafter and cannot be seen.
The header splices are hid behind the post caps and are
also invisible.
