How much
maintenance do Alumawood kits
require?
Alumawood patio cover products
are easy to maintain and are
virtually maintenance-free. Not
only does the manufacturer
create the end product, they
also paint the Alumawood using a
state-of-the-art continuous
coating process and an extremely
anti-corrosive siliconized
polyester paint finish
(Tuffcoat™). Generally, normal
rainfall is sufficient to keep
its appearance clean. It is also
recommended that you
periodically spray down the
cover with a water and soap
solution to rid the surface of
dirt and/or lime build-up.

How does the
cost of Alumawood compare to
that of real wood?
The cost of an Alumawood Kit is
comparable to that of a Wooden
Patio Cover or carport.
Although, with Alumawood, you
will never have to worry about
spending money and hours of
backbreaking work to scrape,
paint, and repair the
structure. And unlike real wood
Alumawood is backed by a
lifetime warranty against:
cracking, peeling, fading,
warping, and rotting.
Therefore, not only is
Alumawood comparable in price,
but in the long run it costs
much, much less (and it looks
better).

How are
Alumawood Patio Covers
installed?
Alumawood Patio Covers are
installed as either
free-standing or attached to an
existing structure (generally
the house). The posts can be
installed with either brackets
fastened to a concrete slab or
with brackets embedded in
concrete footings. Installation
time is dependent on the size of
the cover. Most standard sizes,
attached or freestanding,
require less than 1-2 days of
installation time. Alumawood
Patio Covers are a great weekend
project.

What are the
benefits of Alumawood?
Alumawood Patio Cover Awnings
are constructed of an embossed
aluminum with a richly textured
wood-grain finish. It has heavy
header beams and a
weather-resistant Tuffcoat™
paint finish that withstands the
harshest conditions, including
sun, rain, wind, and extreme
temperatures. Alumawood is
virtually maintenance-free and
stays looking new for years,
because unlike real wood,
Alumawood won’t: burn, crack,
peel, warp, rot, or attract
termites, and it does not rust.
Alumawood is also
environmentally friendly,
because it helps preserve our
nation’s forests. All Alumawood
products are backed with a
manufacturer’s lifetime
warranty.
Alumawood Patio Covers are
offered in two different styles
to suit your needs. If you want
added shade but still prefer
partial sun to shine through and
don’t want to screen out
refreshing breezes, our Lattice
shade structure is the ideal
solution. However, our
Flat-Panel Solid Roof shade
structure is the best choice for
providing you and your outdoor
furniture with maximum
protection against the elements.
You’ll be able to enjoy your
outdoor living space even when
the weather isn’t ideal.
