Due to the location of the windows in this home, the patio cover was built at 2 different heights. The lower level is 10 feet high and is an insulated solid panel cover that is designed to absorb heat and decrease the temperature underneath. These panels have R-value much like the insulation in the walls of your house. Another key point is that the structural panels can be walked on and can hold a person up to 250 lbs. The solid insulated panels are 4 feet wide and 12 feet deep and without a doubt keep the occupants protected from the sun and rain. Their are 2 outdoor fans installed by a licensed electrician. A gutter is located at the end of the cover and holds the panels in place.
The lattice portion of the cover is the higher level at 11 feet high and obviously needed to clear the windows on that side of the house. The 2″x3″ lattice bars are spaced 2 inches apart and the end cuts are scallop as well as the ends of the beams and the decorative tails at the front. There is a all weather ceiling fan installed in the center which allows for light and circulation of air.
This combination cover located in Santa Clarita has upgraded posts that are made of fiberglass. These columns come as raw, unfinished materials. They are installed over steel posts and once in place are sanded, primed and painted. The fiberglass columns do cost more than the standard posts but are undeniably providing an attractive look. Double beams are placed on top of the 10 inch by 10 inch columns and waterproofed at the top.
