4 - Lumber Size & Type

Choose between 4x & 6x lumber. This is how wide your posts and beams will be.

4x is the most affordable, 6x is a nice upgrade.

Choose the type of finish you want on your hardware. Galvanized is most affordable and can easily be painted over.

Powder Coated is a nice easy upgrade.

6 - Foundation

All buildings need a strong foundation to rest on. The foundation supports the total weight of the structure (dead load) & also helps prevent uplift from high winds (especially micro-bursts).

You can choose between footings only, full concrete slab or existing concrete if you already have the concrete in place.

7 - Paint

Would you like us to paint your new patio cover?

Painting is highly encouraged because it protects the lumber from the sun, rain & wind.

This option includes (1) coat primer & (1) coat paint.

We always use the highest quality paint products!
