You might think it is a difficult task to choose the right patio cover for your house, but we are the Patio Masters, and we will help you pick the best patio covers in Orange County. There are some simple things you need to take into consideration when you choose the material of your patio cover. Aluminum or metal? Wood or fabric? Which one is right for you depends on your expectations. Today's market offers countless options when it comes to patio covers, pergolas, awnings or gazebos. They can be made from wood, aluminum, metal or vinyl.
Metal patio covers are an economic option if you are looking for a short term solution for your patio if you are renting the house and you don't want to put a lot of money into it when you know you will only live there for a few years. Also if you are a home owner and your house needs a little TLC on the outdoor décor, metal can also be an option to quickly make an upgrade and increase the house's value. However, one thing you need to keep in mind is that metal, although a cheaper option, is not very durable. Especially under harsh weather conditions it will easily start accumulating rust.
Aluminum is More Durable than Metal
If you are looking for a long term solution and are willing to spend more money, you can't go wrong with aluminum as it will never accumulate rust. Remember that even galvanized metal will rust over time. Aluminum is headache free.
Metal is Harder to install than Aluminum
Another detail, and a very important one indeed, is how hard or easy will the installation be. Especially if you are doing this project yourself. Metal is heavy compared to aluminum; therefore it is not easy to work with. If you are not used to working with metal you might find the drilling process to be difficult. You should also find out if the support system on your patio is strong enough to hold metal. If you don't have a sturdy support system then you need to go with a material that is lighter in weight than metal. Just like aluminum. The only downside of an aluminum patio cover is that you will need bigger beams if you live in an area where the winters are harsh and there is a lot of snow. However aluminum will last longer and it needs very little or no maintenance. When you look at most of the furniture that is made for outdoor use, you will see the material of choice is almost always aluminum. Because it doesn't get rusty, and it endures the UV rays, heavy rain, snow, wind, humidity and heat.
How to Choose Aluminum Patio Covers?
Because aluminum is more expensive than metal, you need to pay close attention to some details in order to choose the best quality aluminum patio cover. You need to look and see if the roof material of your patio cover is made from aluminum or metal. Sometimes, in order to keep the costs low, some companies will advertise that they are selling aluminum patio covers but you will find out that only the structures are made from aluminum while the roof or patio cover is from metal. This is something you should never settle for just to keep the costs low, if you are looking for a long term solution to cover your patio.
When the time comes to have a new patio cover installed some homeowners hesitate simply because of the sheer number of patio covers and enclosures available for purchase. It can be quite a daunting task to determine exactly which type a home needs and which types a homeowner can afford. One of the most popular types however, especially with homeowners who live in hot climates, is the Newport solid patio cover. In contrast to more traditional patio covers that are lattice, Newport Solid patio covers completely cover a specific area within a yard.
Covering a specific area around the home wholly means that homeowners and their guests can gather underneath said area comfortably and avoid direct sunlight, enjoying cooler temperatures, enjoy an area that's free of falling debris, and even enjoy some time outdoors when it's raining or cool. Other homeowners still have a Newport Solid patio cover installed on their home in order to create a place in which they can cook outdoors, enjoy a spa or pool year-round, and of course lounge in.
Should you have any questions about Newport Solid patio covers or any other type of Orange County patio covers please be sure to contact us that we may be of assistance.

Having a new patio cover or enclosure installed in your backyard can be exciting. Choosing which type of material you want in your new patio cover is a whole different beast altogether. With so many different types of construction materials to choose from you may become confused or make a decision that results in a patio cover or enclosure that you're less than thrilled with.
While all construction materials have their pros and cons those homeowners who want to avoid the high costs of maintenance associated with wood and aluminum might want to seriously consider a vinyl patio cover. Vinyl patio covers are, for all intents and purposes, immune to all types of damage and wear and tear that wood and aluminum patio cover/enclosures are prone to. With wood and aluminum covers/enclosures you'll need to watch for warping, cracking, splintering, peeling, and rotting. Homeowners with wood or aluminum patio covers/enclosures must watch for many of the same things making the two materials sturdy but prone to easy damage. On the other hand any homeowner who opts for a vinyl patio cover or enclosure will simply need to wipe down the patio cover or close it off from time to time. This is far faster and more affordable than caring for wood and aluminum patio covers.
Should you have any questions about vinyl, aluminum, or wood patio covers and enclosures please be sure to contact us that we may be of assistance.
So you decided that a new patio cover is exactly what your home needs. The decision to move forward with such a project couldn't have come at a better time.
