Our units are pre-engineered systems that have been approved by qualified, state approved engineers in 45 States. Our systems are rated according to 2011 International Building Codes. If local specifications require site specific engineering, these standards can be met at an additional cost. If you require documentation and registered engineering stamps we will submit your request with your quotation. We cannot talk to engineers about such items prior to knowing what it is you require.

It is important to confirm your local municipal building department live load requirements in lb./sq.ft. and wind speed requirements in mph. You may or may not need a building permit for your installation, and this is the sole responsibility of the homeowner but we are always available to support the process. It is our strong recommendation that you acquire your permit prior to purchase or once it is ordered and you are awaiting delivery. Panel thickness, beam placements, beam size, distance between posts out front are a determined based on the load (snow & wind) that 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 that we can quote the right system for your area.

Delivery time of your patio cover can vary by season, location and demand. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect to receive the order within 3-4 weeks. This may increase to 5-6 weeks during peak season from April to July or if ordering non stocked items such as 6" panels or .032" skin panels. More standard sizes that are stocked can be delivered in less than a week during non peak times. We will do our best to provide an accurate time line on order 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 page. Please also feel free to call us to discuss or for updates at any time.
