DURALUM PATIO COVER INSTALLATION IN OREGON & WASHINGTON
Rick’s Custom Fencing & Decking installs Duralum patio covers for homeowners across Oregon & Washington. This option is often selected when the goal is to create a fully covered outdoor space that provides consistent protection from both sun and rain.
Duralum patio covers use aluminum framing and solid roof panels to create a structure that blocks direct sunlight and keeps the area below dry during wet weather. For many homeowners, this allows patios and decks to be used more reliably throughout the year.
These covers are commonly installed over patios, decks, and outdoor seating areas where complete coverage is a priority.

What Makes Duralum Aluminum Patio Covers Different
One of the biggest differences between patio cover types is the level of protection they provide. Duralum systems are designed for homeowners who want a fully covered space rather than filtered light or partial shade. Rick’s installs Duralum patio covers so they fit naturally with the layout of the patio or deck and perform reliably over time.
Solid Roof Coverage
Duralum patio covers use solid aluminum panels that block direct sunlight and provide consistent shade across the entire covered area.
Reliable Protection from Rain
The roof system is designed to keep the space below dry, making it easier to use outdoor areas during wet weather.
Low-Maintenance Material
Aluminum does not rot, warp, or attract insects, which reduces ongoing maintenance compared to wood structures.
Works Across Different Outdoor Spaces
Duralum patio covers can be installed over both ground-level patios and elevated decks depending on how the space is used.
Duralum Patio Cover Design Considerations
Several factors influence how a Duralum patio cover is positioned and configured. They also help determine how the patio cover functions and how it fits into the surrounding outdoor space.
Attached Structures
Many aluminum patio covers extend directly from the home to create continuous coverage over patios or decks.
Size and Layout of the Covered Area
The dimensions of the space help determine post placement and overall structure.
Level of Shade and Coverage
Because the roof panels are solid, Duralum patio covers create a more shaded and protected environment compared to translucent systems.
Planning Duralum Patio Cover Installation
Planning begins with reviewing how the outdoor space is used and how the structure will connect to the home. Working through these details early helps the finished cover fit naturally within the outdoor layout.
Rick’s works with homeowners to evaluate:
- The size and layout of the patio or deck
- The amount of coverage needed
- Structural support and post placement
- Roof direction and drainage
