An aluminum patio cover is built to be worry-free.
Aluminum Designs offers an Elite 3” insulated panel. We also have a .030 3” non-insulated riser pan roof system. Both styles are durable and budget-friendly when compared to traditional wood construction. We can install most aluminum patio covers in just a day or two. We build all patio covers to meet the high wind ratings for your city’s building code. As such, each city and county have different building requirements. For example, the wind loads range from 120 to 160, depending on the area. As a result, we have two great choices with an engineered aluminum patio cover in either a 3” insulated panel or a .030 3” non-insulated riser pan.
A low-maintenance choice.
The aluminum surface has a baked-on enamel finish; as a result, maintenance becomes super easy. Therefore, no need for yearly painting and sanding like with wood construction. All that is needed is a water hose and a mild cleaner to make it look almost new again. The best part of aluminum, it does NOT rust! The patio will last a lifetime with proper maintenance of periodically cleaning out the gutters and yearly washing. Over the years, we have created our proprietary installation techniques proven successful vs. the old installation techniques. Customers have called to say they have no leaks on their aluminum patio cover in the middle of heavy rain! Call today, at 228-328-2070.
We have an A+ accreditation with the BBB.
