Solid Alumawood Covers
Alumawood Lattice Pergolas & Patio Covers
Insulated Alumawood Roof Systems
Solid Alumawood patio covers provide full shade and protection from the elements with a clean, finished appearance. Choose from attractive roof styles and custom configurations, with options for ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and gutters.
Custom Alumawood lattice pergolas provide filtered shade and an open-roof design with the appearance of traditional wood, but with much less maintenance. Ideal for homeowners who prefer natural light and an airy outdoor space.
Insulated Alumawood roof systems feature engineered panels that help reduce heat transfer while providing substantial shade and weather protection. Their smooth, finished ceiling appearance creates an attractive and comfortable space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.


SAE Builders replaced an aging wood pergola at this Temecula home with a custom insulated Alumawood patio cover. The design incorporates 3 × 8 lattice-system rafters as structural and architectural elements supporting the solid insulated roof, creating a distinctive appearance with full shade coverage.
The project features concrete footings, concealed steel reinforcement, decorative fiberglass columns, a custom mitered corner, and stucco repairs. The required City of Temecula building permit was issued, and the completed project passed final inspection.

This Temecula installation features a solid Newport Alumawood roof, double header, .040 posts and .032 side plates. Two ceiling fans have matching flashing. The approved design used the existing slab without new footings. The project received a city permit and final inspection.
The finished roof line, posts, and ceiling fans work together as part of the outdoor living space.
Proper Concrete Footings
Structural Attachment
Footing depth, size, and specification vary based on approved structural design, site topography, and specific soil conditions for each patio cover installation.
Wall ledger attachments and roof connection methods must be engineered and approved to meet load specifications and maintain watertight flashing integration.
Steel Reinforcement
Permits and Inspections
Larger open spans and specialized beam configurations may need internal engineered steel inserts to maintain rigidity and structural strength over time.
SAE Builders manages applicable local building permits and coordinates required municipal inspections throughout the construction process.
Long-term performance relies on hidden structural details, from post footings to ledger connections, executing every step to plan.
