Every kit is sized to your exact dimensions and IBC-rated for local snow and wind loads. If you are also adding S Series screen walls, combining them on one shipment saves significantly on freight. These permanent insulated patio covers not only protect against rain and snow but also reduce heat transfer to the underside of the unit, keeping your new space up to 15 degrees cooler on extreme summer days. Each system is engineered according to your local code requirements for wind and snow loads and delivered directly to you. They are available in almost any dimension and a range of colors and options. ### Built to Last Strong Our most popular patio cover kit can be configured to meet local building codes for snow and wind loads throughout the USA. Fully engineered, walkable load-bearing EPS core roof panels are combined with a high-quality extruded aluminum framing system to help you create your perfect cover from the elements and add instant value to your home. ### Customizable Our insulated patio covers offer complete customization. They are only limited by physical constraints on the span based on your local load requirements. Choose between 3", 4", or 6" panels, seven different beam types, and four colors. They are available with standard trim, or you can upgrade to Sante Fe-style trim for a modern look and feel. ### Screen In Ready You can enclose your deck with our fixed [screen wall kits](/walls) or [retractable screen kits](/patio-covers/carports/retractable-garage-screen) to protect you from pesky bugs and wind. Vinyl lip frame windows can also be added to take it a step further and keep out the rain and snow. ### DIY Friendly *Your Company is great to do business with. I called on Monday and the gentleman was very knowledgeable and ordered a 12 x 24 roof only it arrived on Wednesday only two days later. I put it together this weekend and all materials fit perfect and did not need to run to the local store for additional materials. I will recommend you and will call you for any other needs you may be able to provide in the future.* *Jay S., MO* ### Full Kits Insulated Patio Cover Systems come with instructions, all panels, beam, rear extruded and thermally broken C channel, side extruded fascia, front extruded gutter, screws & hardware, lags for panel to beam connection, posts, sealant, drain scuppers, touch up paint, tar tape, and top post brackets and hardware.

The space underneath stays noticeably cooler on hot days. **Finished ceiling**: the interior face of the panel provides a clean, finished ceiling appearance with no exposed framing or single-skin underside visible. **Walkable surface**: the panel surface supports foot traffic for maintenance access and can be walked on without damage. **IBC-rated**: panels carry independent ratings for snow and wind loads, which is important for permit applications and structural confidence. **Snap-lock installation**: panels lock together without exposed fasteners, producing a clean finished roof surface. ## Useful Information ### Roof Specs - 3", 4" & 6" thick "engineered" panels. - 024" laminated aluminum on both sides. 032" aluminum available for upgrade to add additional strength. - Projections from 4' to 30' & Widths from 4' up! - 1.5 lbs Polystyrene Core Insulated Roof panels. - 20, 30 & 40+ lb./sq. ft. snow load ratings. See [cover options below](#covers) for details about size options and snow load information. ### Engineering These units are designed according to the available engineering for our roof systems in both wall-attached and freestanding configurations. Our patio cover system will always be quoted to meet or exceed the load you request during the quote process. Generic engineering span charts for the insulated panels and understructure are available at no cost and are generally sufficient for most building permit offices. However, state-sealed or site-specific engineering plans might be needed in some cases and can be provided for an additional fee. ### Building Permit Confirming your local municipal building department's live load requirements in lb./sq.ft. and wind speed requirements in mph is important. You may or may not need a building permit for your installation, and this is the homeowner's sole responsibility, but we are always available to support the process. It is our strong recommendation that you acquire your permit before purchase or once it is ordered and you are awaiting delivery. Panel thickness, beam placements, beam size, and distance between posts out front are determined based on the load (snow & wind) your cover will be subject to. Even though you may not require a permit, you will still need to contact them to get your local building code requirements so we can quote the right system for your area. ### Included in your DIY kit - Smartloc insulated panels. - Extruded side fascia and gutters. - One of 7 sizes of beam depending on your load requirements. - Factory paints posts with top and bottom brackets. - Extruded Aluminum Side Fascia and Gutters. - Silicone, screws, tar tape and all other internal components needed for installation. - Designed for "on site" final cuts by you! ### Custom Sizes Though we have quite a number of pre-sized specials available, it is likely they don't fit the 'exact' size you need. No problem! You can request a quote for custom sizes using our [guided web form](https://builder.screen-house.com/patio-cover-instructions.html), you can [download](/storage/websites/patioconcepts.ca/images/Screenhouse_Patio_Cover_Quote_89baed968b.pdf) this form, complete it and email it to us, or you can call us at [1.800.922.4760](tel:18009224760). Please note that final cuts will be required to get the exact dimension of your cover, particularly if the width does not fall within an even number increment that fits our 4' or 2' panels. ### DIY Experiences Your customized and complete kit is manufactured and shipped right to your door. After that, you'll need tools to cut extruded aluminum and steel and step ladders, screwdrivers, pliers, tape measure, level, carpenter square, caulking gun, pencil, box cutter, chalk line and at least two pairs of hands. ### Delivery and lead time Special order and heavy gauge panels (.032"), may experience an additional 1-2 week lead time. We will do our best to provide an accurate timeline to assist with your planning, but these are never guaranteed since there are many variables in the complex supply chain. Full details on receiving the orders can be found on our [delivery instructions](/about/deliveries) page. Please also feel free to call us to discuss or for updates at any time. ### Size Options Our 3", 4" and 6" thick "snap lock" roof system gives superior strength and durability. The load rating requirements of your local building department determine the selection of roof thickness. Smartloc panels with a high-density 1.5 lb expanded polystyrene core offer a fast and easy installation as they securely snap together and come with a 15-year warranty—a customer favorite given their durability and thermal performance. *Thicker panels provide greater R-value and higher snow load capacity. Use thicker options for cold climates or applications where local code specifies a minimum snow load rating.* ### Snow Loads Our units are pre-engineered roofing systems that have been approved by qualified, state approved engineers in 45 States and rated according to 2011 International Building Codes. View details for different roof thickness and projection measurements. ### Posts Factory painted posts are provide on all patio cover kits with the size and aluminum gage based on the load requirement for the cover system. Most covers will be use 3x3 or 4x4 posts, though 6x6 is available for extreme heights or snow load conditions. Color matched top and bottom brackets are also provided. ### Beams The patio cover kits will include one of 7 different beam types. The selection is based primarily on the local load requirements in combination with the span and number of posts. 3x3 or 4x4 box beams are the most popular and used where possible. A larger C-beam or I-beam allow will allow a wider span and fewer posts, but have a different appearance with the open face. ### Skylight Patio Covers and Room Enclosures can now be enhanced with our new IllumaView™ natural light system. Our patented IllumaView™ natural light system is a translucent panel that easily attaches to our insulated LRP’s utilizing the same patented locking mechanism, which makes it simple and easy to install with no additional training required. Specifications: - Pre-assembled with normal manufacturing lead-times - Available lengths: 8’-0 to 24’-0 - White edge extrusions only - Poly-carbonate is translucent white opaque - Fully engineered to meet IBC, IRC and Florida Building Codes - The polycarbonate is warranted for 10 years against yellowing, aging, and damage from hailstones ### Integrated Fan Beam The fan beam both acts as a hidden conduit to hide wiring and also adds additional structural integrity to hold lamps or fans up to 50lbs. A nice clean finish that your friends will think was installed by a pro! ### Fascia & Gutter Standard fascia and gutter are provided on all quotes by default. This ribbed aluminum fascia provides a clean finish for most general application. Sante Fe lattice trim (right image) and drip edge fascia are also available as alternatives on request. Note: 6" patio covers do not have an option for an integrated gutter. Drip edge fascia is provided for all sides and a residential gutter system can be purchased and installed locally if desired. You can choose between white, sandstone, wheat, or dark bronze for all components. Your room can be one single color or accented with a combination of light and dark colors. The table below shows the maximum span for insulated panels without a fan beam. You can see the span charts for panels with a fan beam on our [insulated panels](/enclosures/hardtop-screen-room/insulated-panels) details page. Covers that exceed these maximums would require a 2nd beam and post to be installed through the center of the cover. The distances noted for each load condition is the max distance from the wall or other support beam and posts. **Panel Type** **10 PSF** **15 PSF** **20 PSF** **30 PSF** **35 PSF** **40 PSF** **50 PSF** **3" (.024" Skin)** 16' 12'7" 11'7" 10'10" 10'2" 9'8" 8'7" **3" (.032" Skin)** 18' 13'9" 12'8" 11'10" 11'2" 10'7" 9'8" **4" (024" Skin)** 19' 15'1" 13'8" 12'7" 11'8" 10'11" 9'9" **4" (.032" Skin)** 21' 16'7" 15'3" 14'3" 13'5" 12'9" 11'8" **6" (.024") Skin** 22' 18'3" 16'5" 15'0" 14'0" 13'1" 11'9" **6" (.032" Skin)** 23' 21'6" 19'4" 17'9" 16'6" 15'6" 13'11" ### Fixed Sizes & Prices We have a number of standard size insulated hard top patio covers available.

The insulated panel cover ships from the same supplier as our S Series screen wall system. If your project includes both a roof system and screen walls, ordering them together on one shipment saves you significantly on freight compared to placing separate orders. It also simplifies project coordination because everything arrives at once. See also: - [S Series Screen Walls](/walls/s-series) - [Hardtop Screen Enclosures](/enclosures/hardtop-screen-room)
