Design, aesthetics and maintenance are some of the important considerations when you have to choose a shade structure for your outdoor space.

The material used to build aluminum patio covers speaks about longevity and general upkeep. Extruded aluminum and your patio cover will be prone to cracks, warps, rust, mold, and general wear and tear.

Aluminum is lightweight in nature yet exceptionally strong, weather-resistant, virtually maintenance free and long-lasting.

To get a better perspective, consider the lifespan of aluminum patio covers made with canvas and wooden patio covers.

Wood is more susceptible to damage. Even with routine staining, this organic material can only last about 5–7 years before requiring a costly replacement.

Even though canvas patio covers may last anywhere from 5–8 years, these would require frequent cleaning and maintenance since these are not capable of repelling mold and mildew. Powerful UV rays can also compromise the integrity of some fabric awnings.
