Preparing Your Backyard for an Aluminum Patio Cover

When getting your backyard ready for an aluminum patio cover installation, it is vital that the patio cover has a proper foundation. To ensure a sturdy and long-lasting structure, the foundation is crucial. Typically, 4'' concrete slabs work best for this purpose, providing excellent stability and support. However, if your existing foundation consists of materials like pavers or decomposed granite, footings can also be used to secure the patio cover in place.

The preparation process remains straightforward. Start by ensuring that the designated installation area is clear of any items or obstacles. If you have fan or light fixtures intended for the patio, leave them outside for the installation crew to set up. Remove any items from the concrete area where the patio cover will be placed.

It's important to note that during the installation process, you don't need to stay home all day. The installation crew only requires access to your house in the morning to connect to the power source. This means you can continue with your daily routine while your new patio cover takes shape.

In the event that your neighborhood is governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA), obtaining their approval may be necessary before proceeding with the aluminum patio cover installation. Rest assured, GreenBee Patios is well-equipped to assist you with the HOA approval process. With our extensive experience in dealing with such matters, we can navigate through the guidelines and permissions required. Once you've cleared the installation area and secured any necessary approvals, you'll be well-prepared for a smooth and hassle-free installation of your new patio cover. This ensures that your outdoor space not only becomes more enjoyable but also fully functional, all with our dedicated HOA Approval Assistance.

 

Choosing the Right Aluminum Patio Cover

Selecting the perfect Alumawood aluminum patio cover for your outdoor space is an exciting step in your backyard transformation journey. GreenBee Patios offers two fantastic options to consider. The Newport Solid Roof is an excellent choice when you want maximum protection for you and your family. This solid aluminum patio cover shields you from the sun, rain, snow, and other elements, creating a haven of comfort and relaxation. On the other hand, the Laguna Lattice aluminum patios add an air of sophistication and charm to your home's exterior. These lattice-style covers provide an ideal balance, reducing sun exposure by 40-60% while still allowing refreshing breezes to flow through.

You can customize your aluminum patio cover by choosing from a palette of seven bold colors to match your home's style seamlessly. Whether you prefer classic white, earthy tones like adobe and desert sand, or something a bit bolder like graphite or Spanish brown, there's a shade that perfectly complements your outdoor space. By selecting the right aluminum patio cover, you're not just enhancing your backyard; you're making a stylish and practical addition that fits your unique preferences and needs.

 

Maintenance and Care Tips

Taking care of your aluminum patio cover is a breeze, and a few simple steps can help keep it looking great and functioning flawlessly. Periodically clearing the rain gutters is one of the essential maintenance tasks. This ensures that water can flow freely, preventing clogs that could lead to damage or leaks. Keeping the gutters clean will maintain the integrity of your patio cover, so don't forget to add it to your regular maintenance checklist.

One more reason to love your aluminum patio cover from GreenBee Patios is our exclusive Lifetime Warranty. This means you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your investment is protected for the long term. With proper maintenance and the added assurance of our warranty, your aluminum patio cover will continue to provide shelter, shade, and style for years to come.
