Roof Panel Options
Pick the Roof That Matches Your Climate
The roof panel is the part of the kit that does the real work, so it is worth matching it to how you plan to use the space and the weather you get. Here are the three setups we build most often.
Polycarbonate (PC) Roof
Translucent PC panels let filtered daylight through while blocking UV, so the patio stays bright but shaded. They are light, impact-resistant, and a good fit when you want the area to feel open rather than boxed in.
Insulated Solid Roof
Insulated sandwich panels block sun and cut the heat and rain noise underneath, giving you a cooler, quieter space. Choose this when the patio sees full afternoon sun or you want it to feel more like an outdoor room.
Lean-To & Retractable
A lean-to attaches to your house wall to extend living space off the back door. Add a retractable shade if you want the option to open the area up to the sky on mild days and close it down when the sun is harsh.
PC vs Insulated
How the Two Roof Panels Compare
Both panels sit on the same powder-coated aluminum frame, so the difference comes down to light, heat, and budget. Use this to narrow it down before you order.
| Feature | Polycarbonate Roof | Insulated Solid Roof |
|---|---|---|
| Daylight under cover | Filtered natural light | Shaded / blocks light |
| Heat reduction | Moderate | High |
| Rain noise | Audible | Quieted |
| Best for | Bright, open feel | Hot sun, outdoor-room feel |
| Frame & finish | Aluminum, your color | Aluminum, your color |
| Warranty | 10-year | 10-year |

Sizing & Install
Custom Sizes, Built for a DIY Weekend
Tell us the length and projection you need and we cut the kit to match, so you are not trimming oversized panels or living with awkward gaps. Posts, beams, brackets, fasteners, and instructions all arrive together. For wall-mounted and freestanding layouts alike, our aluminum patio cover installation guides walk through the steps with the same hardware you receive in the box. Before you set posts or attach to the house, check with your local building department, since cover size, footings, and attachment rules vary by city and county.
Patio Cover FAQ
Common Questions
Can I order a patio cover in a custom size?
Yes. You give us the length and projection you want and we cut the frame and roof panels to those dimensions before the kit ships. That way the cover fits your patio or deck without on-site trimming, and the hardware count matches the size you ordered.
What is the difference between a PC roof and an insulated roof?
A polycarbonate (PC) roof is translucent, so it lets filtered daylight through while blocking UV and keeps the space feeling open. An insulated solid roof blocks the sun, cuts heat buildup, and quiets rain noise, which suits patios in full afternoon sun or anyone who wants more of an outdoor-room feel.
Do I need a permit for a patio cover?
It depends on where you live. Requirements for cover size, footings, and how it attaches to your house vary by city and county, so check with your local building department before you start. We can provide kit dimensions and drawings to help with your application.
Can I install a patio cover myself?
Most homeowners can. The kit ships with posts, beams, brackets, fasteners, and step-by-step instructions, and it bolts together with common hand tools like a drill and a level. Our installation guides cover both wall-mounted and freestanding setups, and a helper makes lifting the beams easier.
What colors are available and how long is the warranty?
The aluminum frame is powder-coated in the color you select at checkout, and the finish is built to resist fading, rust, and corrosion. Every patio cover kit is backed by a 10-year warranty. See our warranty page for the full coverage details.
