Recessed Lights in Alumawood

Here is a quick video on one way to install recessed lights on a non-insulated solid Alumawood patio cover. Drill out or cut out the hole for the lights. Run the wire to the light and cap the panel. Power up the lights with switch

Here is a video:


Screw on your End Caps

Alumawood patio covers are always loosing their end caps. Installers will build the cover and sometimes forget or just not put screws in each end piece. With out the screws in each cap eventually some of them will work their way of each year.  We recommend #8 screws-self tapping but any screw to hold the cap on will work.

Here is a short video talking about this....

Chinese Downspouts

Take a look at this alternative to a standard downspout. When building Alumawood structures you can sometime find it hard to figure out where to bring the water down from the gutter and how. Some reasons for that could be columns or pillars that wont asthetically go well with the common downspout aluminum kit. 

This is a "Chinese downspout." Here is a quick link to an Amazon search to find more.

Extruded Gutter Video

Extruded gutter is an open gutter option for Solid Newport Alumawood patio covers. We replace a Rollformed gutter to make it easier to clean out the gutter. It is better to opt for the Extruded in the beginning if you know you will have a lot of debris on you patio cover. If you are free of trees and other problems that could clog you gutter then the rollform can save you money
