Cost of Wood Patio Covers Vs. Alumawood Patio Covers

Alumawood or Real Wood?

So if you’re on the fence between buying a wooden patio cover or the Alumawood patio cover in Thousand Oaks, let me help you out. Wood is a timeless traditional piece of back yard art. On the positive side yes, wood is beautiful. On the negative side, it comes with a price.

Wood is by far the most expensive of all patio cover materials available, wood, vinyl or aluminum.
Part of the reason wood is so costly is due to the fact that it’s well…, wood.

For example, a 4×8 wood rafter say, 10 feet in length may cost you $125-150. That same rafter in Alumawood isn’t going to be a 4×8 because Alumawood only sells 2×6 rafters. That Alumawood rafter would cost you around $30 bucks.

A wood FOHC beam can run you $275 compared to an Aluamwood beam at $100. You can use the Alumawood header beams as rafters. These measure 3×8 and cost roughly $100 for the same 10-foot stick. For the most part, the majority of people say, 98% end up purchasing the standard rafters because they look so beautiful. As you can see from these quick examples, wood will add up super fast when directly compared to Alumawood.

Cost of maintenance with patio covers

As a consumer, you really should figure the cost of annual maintenance for wood Vs. Alumawood. Wood requires painting albeit every two years or so. It’s still a significant cost. And what about Alumawood? Zero maintenance needed.
All things considered, it really comes down to personal preference. But, our numbers tell us that by and large, Alumawood outsells wood by as much as 10:1.
