When our client in Seal Beach reached out to us, they had a vision—an elegant yet functional patio cover that would enhance their outdoor space while seamlessly blending with their home’s aesthetic. However, creating a truly custom structure came with its challenges, including local building regulations and permit requirements.
Our team took a meticulous approach, ensuring all documentation met city guidelines while crafting a patio cover that delivered both beauty and durability. By balancing compliance with customization, we successfully brought the client’s vision to life without compromising structural integrity or design preferences.
Premium Materials for a Lasting Build
To ensure strength, longevity, and a refined look, we used top-tier materials:
Lattice Cover
- Material: Powder-coated aluminum lattice for lightweight durability, minimal upkeep, and resistance to weather elements.
- Design: Adjustable slat spacing for the perfect blend of sunlight and shade.
Structural Support
- Posts: Four steel clover leaf posts, chosen for their durability and distinctive appearance.
- Beams: 3” x 8” aluminum beams reinforced with hidden galvanized steel C-beams for added strength.
Hardware & Finishing Touches
- Bolts & Screws: Stainless steel for long-term resilience against corrosion.
- Connectors: Concealed fasteners for a seamless, polished look.
- Sealants & Coatings: UV-resistant paint and high-quality weatherproofing sealant to protect against sun exposure and moisture damage.
By combining these premium materials, we ensured that the freestanding lattice patio cover would not only withstand time and elements but also provide the customized touch the client envisioned.
Project Highlights
Understanding the client’s desire for both function and aesthetic appeal, we designed a rectangular freestanding patio cover that adhered to standard dimensions for a streamlined permitting process while maintaining ample room for customization.
To maximize versatility, we incorporated:
✔ Adjustable shade features – Customizable lattice spacing to control sunlight exposure.
✔ Reinforced structural integrity – Hidden C-beam reinforcements for added durability.
✔ Optional upgrades – Future integration possibilities for lighting and retractable panels.
The result? A sleek, modern patio cover that not only met city regulations but also elevated the client’s outdoor experience with a sophisticated, durable design.
