Replacing an Existing Wood Patio Cover
Location · Murrieta, California
Project · Existing wood lattice replacement
Structure · Custom Alumawood lattice
Design size: Approximately 816 sq. ft.
Setting · Poolside patio
Layout · Irregular footprint and angled corners
Columns · Decorative fiberglass
Planning · Footings and steel reinforcement
The homeowners wanted to replace an existing wood lattice cover with a custom Alumawood lattice structure.
The design had to work with the home’s shape and the poolside setting rather than rely on a simple rectangular footprint.
Before: The Original Wood Lattice Cover

A Lattice Design Shaped Around the Backyard
The project drawings show an irregular layout with a stepped and angled roofline.
The finished lattice creates filtered shade across the patio, while its corner details give the cover a more integrated architectural appearance.
The open lattice construction preserves some daylight and views toward the swimming pool.
Structural Planning Behind the Finished Appearance
A custom lattice cover this size requires careful planning for its supporting structure.
The project plans call for four concrete footings, steel post inserts, reinforced header and miter-beam assemblies, and four 10-inch square fiberglass columns.
These elements were specified to support the layout while delivering the intended decorative appearance.
An Inviting Poolside Space With Filtered Shade
The completed patio cover defines an outdoor living area beside the pool.
The lattice casts repeating bands of sunlight and shade, while the decorative columns and angled corners give the large structure a finished, deliberate look.
The project demonstrates how a thoughtfully designed replacement can change the appearance and everyday usefulness of an existing backyard.
Details That Matter
Large projects are defined by small decisions.
The angled lattice sections, transitions, trim, and column details deserve their own close-up photographs rather than being lost in a wide backyard view.
The Finished Result
The completed custom Alumawood lattice patio cover transformed this Murrieta backyard by replacing an aging wood structure with a durable, low-maintenance shade solution.
The approximately 816-square-foot design incorporates custom angled lattice sections, decorative columns, and structural reinforcement designed for the project's unique layout.
From the original structure through construction and completion, this project demonstrates SAE Builders' attention to thoughtful design, structural details, and quality craftsmanship.
