A popular
and longstanding choice for homeowners, wood patio covers
have been used for generations, but with aluminum patio covers entering the
scene, a shift is taking place. Why are homeowners gracing their backyards and
outdoor living spaces with metal over previously popular wood? The answers may
not be as obvious as you think…
Times They are a Changin’
Previously relied upon for their natural looks as well as their ability to be painted and color-matched, wood is now falling by the wayside. Soft, cheap pine doesn’t last. Pricey redwood, cedar, and cypress require constant staining, paint, or treatment for protection against squirrels and other pests. And homeowners are forced to choose between lattice styles that offer minimal sun protection, but no reliable shelter against rain and wind, or worse, a forever closed, solid roof.

Step-In Aluminum
New innovations since the conception of wood patio covers have made them a sub-optimal choice today. Modern metals such as aluminum are lightweight, making them faster and easier to install than their wooden counterparts. Lacking the need for substantial and expensive groundworks or foundations, they can even be installed on raised decking. Aluminum covers are also far more durable, and able to withstand even the harshest outdoor elements with aplomb. Better still, newly introduced decorative finishes not only allow for the advantages of “the wood look” without the maintenance, they offer much more flexibility of use.
Fun

Take advantage of the latest in pergola technology – the Arcadia Slide, which when integrated into your pergola roof, offers functionality much like the sunroof on a car, sliding over to offer an expansive view, then closing to provide full cover when needed, allowing you to enjoy a more flexible outdoor living space than ever before.
