Enhance your outdoor space with a stylish and lightweight aluminum shade structure.
A patio cover or pergola made with aluminum is a durable and lightweight outdoor structure, providing shade and a decorative element for outdoor spaces, often designed with lattice or slatted roof panels for partial shade and aesthetics.
While intended to have the strength and durability of a wood-frame cover, aluminum framework requires less maintenance in the long run. Additionally, it is anticipated to prove more economical compared to conventional structures. In the realm where maintenance and long-term resilience take precedence, our aluminum options stand out as an ideal choice for many of our clients.

While all outdoor living projects are large investments, an aluminum patio cover or pergola can be a great way to add a shade structure without breaking the bank. Not only are the materials less expensive, it requires a much smaller pier as there is less weight to support and less labor because it can be built in a day instead of a few weeks. Lastly, you’ll save money on maintenance as we move through the future. No matter how you slice it, constructing an aluminum structure is a wise financial decision.
