Does anyone have an alumawood patio cover in Havasu? How are they holding up? Any dealers/installers you recommend or stay away from? TIA!
I'm not sure how big I want, a lot depends on what budget I have left when I'm done putting in the pool and wall. I have a small patio cover now and would want that removed for a new larger one. My bil put a huge one at his house and had one removed for $5k, vs adding on to the one I have now at $15k is why I want to go that route. Also, less maintenance, but I also don't know how they do with the Havasu heat. Also, looking to have it attached to my house if possible.what are you looking for and how big?
Just an FYI ,EVERY Alumawood, Duraloom etc. patio cover made is all the same, "Roll Formed" 24 gauge aluminum, basically a gutter downspout slid over steel. Add 500 screws and that is your cover.
We are the only company selling and making extruded aluminum Amma 2604 spec grade powder coated patio material outside of Virginia. NO screws or bolts on posts, we use internal stainless steel 304 square U bolts internally. No patio cover MFG can build a cover with engineering in Vegas up to 20' square on concrete except us. It is that strong and modern.
The 3" lattice can overhang a beam by 5'. beams up to 33' long between posts ,NO one USA can do that in all aluminum. We have it made, licensed importers, NO middle man, and distribute in 5 states. You can use foam solid panels roof's too. We sell to contractors that I approve, NO illegals from CL, this is the best are very low price as we control the entire process..

What did this cost to build?I just did one of @boatpi 's models for a friend in Havasu. Not sure if he carries alumawood or not. This was built out of his powder coated aluminum. 20 year warranty. View attachment 978815 View attachment 978816
YES, in Southern Nevada where building codes and engineering are very close, contractors can be built up to 20' x 20' using 6" posts no taller than 9'8", NO footings. We can go taller if smaller foot print, NO footings, all on 4500 PSI concrete, at least 3.6" thick, cured 3 weeks+. Even more if one side attached to a structure. HH Consulting, Henderson, NV, can stamp all western states. We have standard plans on file in all cities in Nevada, more coming soon as the new standard plans are almost ready. They will include cantilever, the "Leaf", solid cover top, and a new project in development.
As to random angles, most use our 90 degree corner beam connector, a skilled contractor can do most any cut and attachment. We make many internal brackets, look at out Instagram page, one just built in Joshua Tree gable style.

Solid lid patio covers are achieved by using a solid foam lid, it has roll formed aluminum attached to both sides. about four colors are available this is a very expensive and massive manufacturing process that makes these panels, from 2 inches to up to 5 inches thick. The price of the panels are not unreasonable but it’s a whole different manufacturing process for us to take The most common supply in this area is there a loom and four seasons you’re both excellent products. We manufacture a 2 inch and 3 inch C channel that goes over the end of this foam lid if you decide to extend it over the edge of the beams you can also mount it internally between our beams for a flat roof by using our 2 in.² lattice on the inside as a rim. I’m not a contractors but their special adhesive made that makes it pretty much water tight and that’s the whole reason to use this type of lid if you want it watertight as our lettuce can give you 50% shade two hours of the day and 100% shade 22 hours of the day. The ladders replaced north and south with 2 inch air space for a 2 in.² lattice and 3 inch air space for 3 in.² lattice as the sun sets to the west, it hits the side of the lattice and creates shade underneath.
myrad construction in Temecula did this gable project, the first one of its kind using one of our special 6 inch internal U channel brackets.
When it comes to metal some of his contractors are extremely talented and think outside the box our product is known in the industry as the Legos of shade structures. We have over 200 sku’s.
our newest item received just this week is a one by four thin wall lattice in espresso color he could be used to hide pull equipment or as a privacy wall. Everything will match from the patio cover to the post to the privacy wall. View attachment 979187
