The metal patio covers in Los Angeles have become the number one choice among designers and architects. The main reason is because they are very strong, very durable and have an amazing contemporary and minimalistic appearance. Many designers opt to combine steel patio covers with wood for the contrast and warmth feeling. The metal covers that are combined with wood elements are not the cheapest but certainly the most luxurious ones.
Metal patio covers allow you to use less posts creating a wider opening. They can cantilever way more than wood, which is extremely helpful when you can only have posts on one side of the patio cover. They are not eaten by termites, and they do not rot. These modern patio cover designs are very minimalistic and unique. We have become specialists in the field of metal covers and we encourage you to challenge us with any design you have in mind
Adding the wood touch to these covers creates an un comparable feeling and appearance. The warm feeling, the contrast in colors and even the roof insulation effect is something you want to consider. The wood addition does drive the price up as it involves more labor and expertise, not to mention the price of lumber itself. Many designers opt for exotic wood such as Ipe or Mangaris, however, if the cover is a solid, rain proof cover then using an expensive wood type is not a must have.
