Each color is protected by the Aluma-Shield® paint system with Teflon® surface protector, which helps repel dirt, dust, oil, and stains.

These Alumawood color options allow you to find the perfect match for your home, offering both aesthetic flexibility and superior weather resistance. The long-lasting nature of the color options ensures that your patio cover maintains its beauty without the need for regular repainting or maintenance.

Finish and Texture Choices

Alumawood’s patio cover customizations don’t end there. Aside from color, Alumawood finishes and texture choices provide further options. These finishes can replicate the appearance of real wood, giving homeowners the look of a natural wood patio cover without the high maintenance typically required. The wood-look aluminum finish is not only visually appealing but also highly resistant to weather, rust, and damage caused by outdoor elements. Whether you prefer a sleek, modern finish or the charm of a rustic wood-like surface, Alumawood’s texture choices and related options combine beauty with the durability of aluminum. These Alumawood finishes ensure that your customizable patio cover will not only look great but will also withstand the test of time.

Alumawood patio cover options include various customizable structural design elements, allowing you to tailor your cover to fit both your space and personal style preferences. With the ability to customize dimensions, structural supports, and decorative details in your outdoor patio cover design, Alumawood provides a fully personalized experience.
  • Size and Layout: Choose from various size and layout configurations to ensure your custom Alumawood patio cover fits your outdoor area precisely. Whether you have a compact patio or a sprawling backyard, Alumawood’s patio cover customizations offer flexibility to cover the space you need, ensuring full protection from the elements.
  • Double Beams: For larger patios or outdoor areas, double beams are an excellent option. Not only do they provide extra structural support, but they also elevate the overall custom patio cover design by giving it a stylish appearance. Double beams are ideal for those who want to blend functionality and aesthetics.
  • Post Columns: Alumawood’s post columns are designed to be as durable as they are decorative. Made from weather-resistant, insect-proof aluminum, they offer long-lasting support without the maintenance issues commonly associated with wooden columns. Post columns are perfect for reinforcing the structure while adding a decorative element that enhances your overall custom patio cover design.
  • Decorative End Caps: Decorative end caps for patio covers allow for further personalization that suits your style:
    • Beveled Edge: Clean lines and a modern look, perfect for contemporary spaces.
    • Mitered Edge: Sharp, angular edges that give a refined, contemporary finish.
    • Corbel Edge: Adds a traditional, architectural element with a more classic appeal.
    • Scalloped Edge: A detailed and elegant option, ideal for traditional or ornate designs.

FAQs

Can I combine lattice and solid roof sections in one Alumawood aluminum patio cover?

Yes. Many homeowners blend lattice and solid panel sections to balance airflow, sun and rain protection, and aesthetic appeal. Lattice creates filtered light on hot summer days, while a solid panel or insulated panel section adds full coverage where you need it most. A mixed layout works well along patios with multiple seating areas or where you want shade transitions. If you plan to attach the structure to your home, your installer will verify building codes and load requirements.

Which Alumawood colors work best in dusty, sunny, or coastal climates?

All Alumawood colors use the Aluma-Shield paint system with TEFLON® surface protector, but some tones show the environment less. Desert Sand and Mojave Tan tend to mask dust. White keeps its brightness but shows debris sooner. Latte, along with other mid-tone finishes, often handles coastal salt spray well, and the embossed real wood texture helps break up residue across all Alumawood colors. For projects near the ocean, a solid or insulated panel in a mid-tone color usually requires the least upkeep.

What’s the maximum beam span without center posts?

Span depends on your layout, wind exposure, and local codes. Most custom aluminum patio cover designs offer generous spans using heavy header beams, though wide distances may require upgraded beams or added footings. Larger spans increase material needs, which affects total cost. For an exact span for your property, contact us for an engineered quote.

Can I add recessed lights, ceiling fans, or heaters later?

Lighting and ceiling fans are easiest to include during installation because your installer can plan wiring paths, boxes, and switches before the cover is fully assembled. On insulated panel covers, any integrated fan beams must be specified and built into the panels at the factory—they cannot be retrofitted later. For lattice and solid panel covers, retrofitting later is possible but may require opening a section of the cover. Heaters and low-profile fixtures usually mount to beams or posts.

What beam cuts and edge details can I choose from?

Alumawood offers four rafter and beam end styles—Beveled Edge, Mitered Edge, Corbel Edge, and Scalloped Edge. These edge details help align your Alumawood customization with the patio cover style of your home. More decorative options may require modest added cost. The embossed texture and color palette apply consistently across all Alumawood styles.

Are there different column shapes or wrapped looks?

The system uses a curated palette to maintain long-term durability. Custom color-matching is not part of the standard program, but the range of high-quality standard finishes often complements most trim, stucco, and fascia colors. Your installer can help you choose a finish that enhances your outdoor living space while working with nearby paint tones.

Can Alumawood match my home’s trim if none of the standard colors are a perfect fit?

Yes. Posts can be simple aluminum uprights or upgraded with decorative wraps to create a more substantial appearance. Square columns are common, and contractors may offer different trim or wrap treatments for a tailored finish. Alumawood post columns themselves are made from weather-resistant, insect-proof aluminum, so these upgrades focus on appearance rather than structure. These upgrades don’t change how the cover offers protection; they simply adjust the look of your outdoor living area.

Can I prep the structure for future add-ons?

Yes. During planning your Alumawood customization, your installer can account for items you may want later—such as lighting upgrades or mounted heaters. For solid panel and insulated panel covers, discussing electrical needs early makes it easier to include the right wiring paths and fixture or switching locations. Structural changes that go beyond standard designs will require project-specific engineering. For anything not listed in Alumawood’s published options, your contractor will confirm what’s feasible with an aluminum system before installation.

Which design choices matter most for HOA approval?

HOAs typically review height, placement, attachment method, and colors. Using one of the standard finishes and matching existing trim lines usually speeds approval. Some HOAs also consider beam end styles and column appearance. Providing drawings and a clear description of the structure helps avoid delays.
