Create a private outdoor retreat with our premium free-standing aluminum shade structures.
These freestanding pergolas and covers are ideal for poolside lounges, outdoor dining, gardens, and open-air entertaining spaces where you don’t want to attach to your home. Crafted from extruded 6061-T6 aircraft alloy aluminum, they’re engineered for superior strength - with beam spans of up to 33 feet between posts and zero exposed screws or miter joints. Choose from solid Twin Wall roofing or decorative Pergo-Soleil™ panels to customize the look and level of shade.
Seamlessly extend your indoor space outdoors with our attached aluminum shade systems
These structures connect directly to your home, making them ideal for patios, decks, awnings and covered walkways. Designed to meet or exceed all local building codes, each system is built with fire-rated, powder-coated aluminum and engineered for high wind and snow load conditions. Customize with our modern beam profiles, lattice configurations, or integrated Soleil panels to match your architectural style.
Cantilever structures are shade systems that extend outward without requiring front support posts, using a single anchored side for strength
This allows for greater flexibility in placement, especially useful when there’s something obstructing where a traditional post would normally go, such as a walkway, pool edge, or built-in feature. Cantilevered designs are often chosen for outdoor kitchens, bar areas, or tight spaces, where open access and a clean look are essential.
Engineered from aircraft-grade extruded aluminum, our cantilever systems can span up to 20 feet without center supports. Choose between solid Twin Wall roofing or open lattice depending on your shade and weather protection needs. With no visual clutter and full compliance with local wind and snow load codes, these systems offer both functional freedom and modern elegance.

Pricing & Estimates
The cost depends on size, design, and features. A basic aluminum pergola typically starts around $14,000–$18,000 for a standard size. Larger, custom, or feature-rich designs (such as motorized louvers, lighting, or fans) will cost more. We provide a detailed quote after assessing your project requirements.
Yes! We offer complimentary estimates. You can request one by filling out our online form or calling us directly. We’ll review your needs and provide a no-obligation quote.
Key factors include size, style, cantilever, accessories (fans, lighting, heaters), site preparation needs, and whether new concrete or structural supports are required.
Aluminum is more durable, requires minimal maintenance, and won’t warp, rot, or attract termites. The upfront cost is higher, but it saves money over time by avoiding repairs and replacement.
Yes! We partner with RenoFi to offer flexible financing for your pergola or outdoor living project. This allows you to start your project now and spread the investment over time.
Installation Process
Most standard installations take 1-3 days once all materials are ready. Larger or more complex projects may take longer.
Yes, we can install on an existing slab if it’s structurally sound and meets requirements. We’ll inspect the surface before installation to ensure safety and stability.
You don’t have to be home the entire time, but we recommend being available at the start for a walkthrough and at the end for final approval.
We start with a consultation, create a custom design, confirm materials and colors, secure permits/HOA approvals if needed, then schedule installation.
Permits & Regulations
Permit requirements vary by location. Many cities require permits for attached or freestanding structures. Some neighborhoods also require Homeowners Association (HOA) approval before construction begins. We can help determine what’s needed for your specific address and guide you through both city and HOA requirements.
Yes, we can manage the permitting process from start to finish, including drawings and submission. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we can also provide the documentation they require, such as project drawings, material details, and color samples, to make approval as smooth as possible.
Some HOAs have strict guidelines on size, color, and design. We’ll work with you to ensure your pergola meets their requirements while still achieving your vision.
Product Details & Materials
4K Aluminum is a high-grade, powder-coated aluminum that’s extremely durable, rust-resistant, and low-maintenance. It’s designed to withstand harsh weather and maintain its appearance for decades.
4K Aluminum uses extruded 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, significantly stronger and more rigid than roll-formed alternatives like Alumawood. This allows for longer spans, smoother finishes, and more architectural flexibility in designs.
There are five curated, fade-resistant powder-coated color options: Adobe Tan, Apollo Gray, Black, Espresso, and Quartz White.
Absolutely! We can integrate electrical wiring to support lighting, ceiling fans, heaters, and even audio systems. Accessories can be included in the initial build or added later.
Aluminum won’t warp, crack, or rot like wood. It’s termite-proof, requires minimal maintenance, and retains its finish for many years without repainting or sealing.
Aluminum performs better in humid, wet, or termite-prone areas. Wood offers a natural look but needs regular maintenance.
While Alumawood and Duralum are roll-formed aluminum products with an embossed wood grain finish, 4K Aluminum is made from extruded 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, making it stronger, more rigid, and capable of spanning longer distances without additional posts. The finish is a high-grade powder coat that meets AAMA 2604 standards, offering better fade resistance and durability over time.
Yes. The extruded aluminum used by 4K is significantly thicker and denser than roll-formed options. This added strength allows for fewer posts, larger open spaces, and improved wind and snow load resistance.
4K Aluminum has a sleek, modern architectural finish, with smooth lines and precision manufacturing. Unlike some aluminum products that imitate wood grain, 4K’s powder-coated surface delivers a clean, contemporary aesthetic available in a curated palette of long-lasting colors.
Yes. 4K offers multiple post sizes (4″×4″, 6″×6″, 8″×8″), beams, lattice options, and exclusive products like Pergo-Soleil decorative panels. This flexibility allows for more customization compared to standard kits from other brands.
Roll-formed aluminum, used in many budget patio covers, is made by bending thin aluminum sheets into shape. While lightweight and affordable, it’s less rigid, more prone to denting, and usually requires more posts for support.
4K Aluminum is extruded 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, which is much thicker, stronger, and more durable. This strength allows for longer spans with fewer posts, better wind and snow load resistance, and a sleek, modern appearance. It also uses a premium AAMA 2604 powder-coated finish for superior fade and weather resistance.

Maintenance & Warranty
Simply rinse with water and use mild soap for occasional cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers to keep the finish in top condition.
Our 4K Aluminum pergolas come with a manufacturer’s warranty of up to 20 years on the structure and finish, plus our workmanship warranty on installation.
Many roll-formed aluminum products carry a 10-year limited warranty. 4K Aluminum offers a 20-year warranty on both the aluminum material and its powder-coated finish (10 years on wood sublimation finishes).
The powder-coated finish is UV-resistant and designed to resist fading for decades. Minor color changes may occur over many years, but your pergola will maintain its beauty with minimal care.
