If you are planning a patio cover construction project spend a little time on our site and discover the many possibilities to
choose from. Patio covers can be made from wood, aluminum, vinyl or steel.
Patio
cover construction prices will vary a lot with the type of material chosen. I feel the most cost effective patio
cover material is aluminum. Aluminum
awnings keep their attractive looks and value many years longer than some more traditional methods. By visiting our
Alumawood
pages you will see a patio cover construction project from start to finish. This is a lattice type cover but solid panels could have
been used also. The installation steps would be similar for solid or lattice.
Our page covering
carport construction
shows more step by step pictures of awning construction. If you are planning on doing the work yourself see our
do-it-yourself
awnings page or the
Patio Cover Kits
page.
When planning your patio cover construction project keep in mind all
of the structures that can be attached to the awning or built under it. Our
awning structures
page may help with more useful ideas.
The video below shows how easy a simple
lattice patio cover is to set up. This is a very nicely done
slide show.
