Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is an Alumawood® Shade Structure?
An Alumawood® Shade Structure is a premium aluminum system that mimics the warm, natural aesthetic of real wood complete with a rich embossed finish but built from durable, weather-resistant aluminum. It gives you the look of wood without the common drawbacks.
Why should I choose Alumawood® instead of a traditional wood pergola or cover?
Unlike traditional wood structures, Alumawood® will not crack, peel, warp or rot. It’s termite-proof, fire-safe, and built for the Texas climate. With a protected surface finish, it repels dirt, oil, and stains making it significantly lower maintenance and longer lasting.
Can these structures be customized to match my home and outdoor space?
Absolutely. Alumawood® Shade Structures come in multiple finishes, colors, and design profiles. Whether you’re attaching to your home or creating a stand-alone feature, you can tailor beam profiles, end caps, and textures so the final structure complements your home’s style and meets your vision.
What kind of maintenance should I expect once it’s installed?
Very minimal. Thanks to the powder-coated aluminum and protective surface treatment, you’ll typically just need to hose down the structure occasionally to keep it looking great. No staining, repainting, or frequent upkeep like with natural wood.
How long will an Alumawood® Shade Structure last, and is it a good investment?
With proper installation and minimal upkeep, these structures are designed to last for decades much longer than many traditional materials in outdoor settings. The durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic appeal make them a smart investment for enhancing your outdoor living space and home value.
