Aluminum Flat Pan Covers
  • Posts with wall thicknesses of .078″ / .125″ gauge extruded aluminum available in white, ivory or dark bronze
  • Roll formed aluminum roof pans are available in white or ivory
  • Roof pans are 3″ tall by 12″ wide. Roof pans come in thicknesses from .025″ to .032″ in the aluminum pans and in a 26 gauge Galvalume pan (55% Aluminum-Zinc alloy coated galvanized steel).
  • The top carries a 4 sided fascia guttering system. The fascia gutter is 3″ wide and 6″ tall.
  • Precision stamped fascia corners.
  • Flat Pans are captured in the top 3″ of the fascia gutter. This allows for several connection points of the pan and gutter and leaves a larger channel for water runoff.

  • Other than the odd cleaning this is a no maintenance installation (how to keep your patio cover clean!)
  • The drop from house wall to the front of the unit is fixed at 1/4″ per foot of projection
  • All quoted units are designed to meet 2021 IBC standards
  • Available in both wall attached and free-standing configurations

Flat Pan Patio Cover Load & Permit Requirements

You will need to know your local live load requirements (lbs./sq.ft. & mph.) as dictated by your city/municipality. Your local building department is where building permits are issued from. You may or may not need an actual permit for your installation. This responsibility rests with the homeowner. If a permit is required, it is our strong recommendation that you acquire your permit prior to purchase. Learn more about permits.

Panel thickness, beam placement, beam size, and post spacing depend on the snow and wind loads your Flat Pan patio cover will experience.

Please obtain the load requirements for your area so we can provide the correct material thicknesses and patio cover configuration for a safe, long-lasting installation.
