Greetings,
Our covered patio is now in great need of a overhaul. We are contemplating doing it soon, but other things came up. Nonetheless we are planning and I would like to ask few questions so I get some ideas. We live in WI and the current patio cover is made out of wood for structure and double acrylic panels for covering. Our snow fall varies, but we must take that in account. I like the acrylic as it allows light. Here are few things we are considering:
- Acrylic panels;
- Aluminum framing, as the structure is a bit large.
- some "windows" on the panels to allow for better air circulation
Are these things doable? What are the pros/cons with the materials we want to use? What other suggestions can you offer? The current patio is about 30' x 8', and we want to extend it to a 12' perhaps 14'x30'.
Thanks. Be well
Miriam
