Decorative Solid Roof Patio Cover with Truss Ends

The Contempo Patio Cover is built especially for homeowners who want it all: strength, durability, style, and affordability.

Modern Materials

Aircraft grade powder-coated extruded aluminum can stand the test of time while remaining beautiful and requiring little to no maintenance. High carbon steel and nylon headed fasteners withstand the worst nature can throw at them, and automotive grade nylon covers and caps create a smooth and complete appearance designed to live in the sun.

Style Meets Strength

Wood framed look, aluminum simplicity, and a price you will love means your patio can be both decorative and practical. Taking our Moderno Patio Roof, and adding decorative aluminum truss ends provides that extra touch that most patios are missing. The Contempo Patio Roof features all of our signature designs, sculpted posts, header, post covers, and straight or scalloped truss ends, with a custom gutter system. Combined, you have a patio that doesn’t bust the budget, but looks like it did. Available with or without screen walls.

Want to further boost the appeal and comfort of your patio space? Well, you’re in luck, as we have plenty of options, from fully enclosed glass walls to create the perfect four-season sunroom, to screen walls, to custom decorative add-ons and accessories.

While most customers opt to attach their Contempo roof to their home as an extension of their living space, you have the option of building a completely freestanding structure. This option allows you to locate a large covered living space anywhere in your yard — overlooking mountains, lakes and gardens, or in a secluded corner of your property.

Screen out bugs

Nothing spoils your enjoyment of your new outdoor paradise quicker than a swarm of mosquitoes. Thankfully, the Contempo is ideally suited to be screened in with theDolce Screen System. We can even install Dolce without the framing to give you a single, massive screen panel for a wide-open view. Ask your installer about the Dolce Open View screen wall option.

Very impressive! Your materials and quantities were perfect. I walked out with one box of extrusion cut-offs.

Everything was right and nicely packed and protected.

I’ve been doing this 37 years and can’t remember a better supplier-packaged inventory. Whatever you gentlemen are doing is right.

A patio cover always has a solid top, but when it comes to Renaissance can also have the look of a pergola.
