Choosing the Best Material for Your Patio Cover: Wood vs. Aluminum | S&S Design Build

May 9, 2025
When it comes to designing and building a patio cover, one of the most important decisions you'll have to make is the type of material to use. There are several options available, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. In this blog post, we'll compare the most popular materials for patio covers wood and aluminum. Wood is a classic for patio covers and decks. It's a natural and renewable resource and it can be stained or painted to match the style of your home. Wood also offers a warm and inviting feel, making it a great option for outdoor living spaces. However, wood requires regular maintenance to protect it from moisture, mildew, and rot. It can also be prone to warping, cracking, and splitting over time. Aluminum is a lightweight and durable option for patio covers. It's rust-resistant and requires very little maintenance. It's also a good thermal insulator, which can help to keep your patio cooler in the summer. However, aluminum can be more expensive than wood and it's not as strong. It also can't be painted and can have a limited range of colors. When choosing a material for your patio cover, it's important to consider factors such as your budget, the style of your home, and the climate in your area. At S&S Design Build, we have experience working with both materials and can help you make the best choice for your project.
