At Patio Kits Direct, every patio cover kit is custom-designed to meet the unique needs, preferences, and requirements of each customer. Because of this, pricing can vary depending on the size, style, attachment type, materials, and structural requirements of your project.
Additionally, building codes and engineering requirements differ throughout the United States. For example, areas with higher snow loads may require heavier-duty structural components, such as steel reinforcement inserts, while other locations may have specific wind-load requirements. These factors can affect the final price of your patio cover kit.
To help you plan your project and establish a realistic budget, we’ve provided a patio cover pricing grid below. This grid outlines starting prices for different patio cover sizes, giving you a helpful baseline as you begin designing your custom patio cover.
Please keep in mind that these prices are intended as starting points. As you customize your design or incorporate additional features and required engineering components, your final price may change.
| Solid Non-Insulated — 10 ft to 18 ft Projections | |||
| Pick-up pricing • 9 ft height • Solid Non-Insulated cover | |||
| This list serves as approximate base-pricing, your exact price will reflect in our 3D Designer and may vary with manufacturer price-updates, optional design add-ons, or structural changes due to weather conditions. Snowload: 0 • Wind load: B 95 | |||

3. Are aluminum patio covers cheaper than wood patio covers?
Aluminum patio covers can be more economical than traditional wood patio covers, particularly when considering installation costs and long-term maintenance.
At Patio Kits Direct, we specialize in wood-grained aluminum patio cover kits that offer the attractive appearance of wood without many of the maintenance concerns associated with natural lumber.
Unlike traditional wood, our aluminum patio covers will not rot, warp, or attract termites. They also eliminate the need for routine staining and painting associated with maintaining many wooden structures.
Purchasing a DIY aluminum patio cover kit can provide additional savings by eliminating contractor installation labor and certain contractor markups.
For homeowners seeking the appearance of wood with the durability and low-maintenance benefits of aluminum, our Alumawood, Weatherwood, and Elitewood patio cover kits offer an attractive alternative.
4. Are aluminum patio covers worth the money?
Yes, aluminum patio covers can be an excellent long-term investment for homeowners looking to create comfortable, shaded outdoor living spaces without the ongoing maintenance of traditional wood structures.
At Patio Kits Direct, our wood-grained aluminum patio covers combine the appearance of real wood with the durability of aluminum. They resist common problems associated with wood, including rot, warping, and termite damage.
Our patio cover kits are custom-designed for each customer’s space and can include features such as recessed lighting, ceiling fans, decorative columns, and other personalized upgrades.
Purchasing a DIY kit also allows homeowners to save on installation labor while receiving professional design assistance, engineering documentation, customized building instructions, and live phone support during construction.
For homeowners who value durability, customization, lower maintenance, and potential long-term savings, aluminum patio covers are a worthwhile option.
5. How much can I save by buying a DIY patio cover kit instead of hiring a contractor?
Homeowners can save approximately $2,000 to $10,000 in installation costs by purchasing a DIY aluminum patio cover kit rather than paying a contractor for a complete installation.
By purchasing your materials directly through Patio Kits Direct, you can avoid certain contractor markups, third-party distribution costs, and installation labor expenses.

Free online 3D Patio Cover Designer with customized pricing
