As temperatures rise, shaded areas to cool down become more important than ever. Today, we’ll show you how to easily create them yourself using our wide range of metal profiles, sheet metals, and bent parts – and why these materials offer major advantages over wooden constructions.
Metal – A Stable Foundation for Long-Lasting Structures
A patio cover creates the perfect place to relax and unwind. A pergola combined with climbing plants provides natural shade, while a fully covered pavilion offers a cozy seating area even during rainy weather. In addition, your garden furniture stays well protected from the elements.
In both cases, a metal construction offers numerous advantages over wood: steel, aluminum, and similar materials are low-maintenance, weather-resistant, and can still be customized individually with our wide range of powder coatings.
Your Path to a Custom Patio Cover
- Create a Sketch: First, create a sketch of the area you want to cover in order to define the dimensions. Important: The structure should provide enough space for garden furniture, a barbecue, flower pots, and other outdoor essentials.
- Determine Material Requirements: For a stable patio cover, our aluminum and steel products are ideal. The foundation is especially important for the construction, as it ensures stability. With our aluminum H-profile, you can easily and safely build a reliable base yourself. Additionally, side supports and roof beams are required, and for a fully covered pavilion you will also need roofing panels. For this, we recommend our various square tubes as well as sheet metals made from aluminum, stainless steel, brass, steel, or polycarbonate. Tip: To make your patio cover even more weather-resistant, our U-profile can be added as a rain gutter.
- Order Your Products: Our configurator allows you to customize your desired products and order them made to measure. You can also add powder coatings according to your preferences, perfectly matching the design to your garden or creating a completely new look.
- Start Building: Shipping usually takes only 1–5 days, so you can start building shortly after placing your order. The base frame determines the stability of your new patio cover, so special attention should be paid to this step. Tip: The assembly process becomes easier if the individual parts are screwed together while lying flat and then lifted into place afterward.

A metal patio cover can completely transform the appearance of your garden while also providing practical benefits.
