You can trust the materials used for your Solaranda™ because they are manufactured in a facility that has been providing quality aluminum awnings, patios and lattice covers since 1968.
Choose from the 6 colors below. All Aluminum post covers, beams, rafters and lattice work are embossed with a beautiful wood-grain to give the look and feel of real wood. You can also customize your Solaranda™ by choosing the rafter end style of your choice.
The structure is engineered to hold the weight of the solar panels and with a live load of 20lbs. All necessary engineering documents can be provided with your purchase to be submitted to your local building agencies for permitting, where required.

Standard posts, fiberglass columns, or Commercial grade posts
The standard Posts are shown in the picture to the right. These have a steel post in center with 2 wider Aluminum fronts on the outside. The aluminum is embossed with the wood grain finish. Another option is to upgrade to the use of fiberglass columns. You still use the provided steel posts for inside the columns, then set these decorative columns around them. These will arrive to you unpainted. A faux finish can be applied to give it a marbleized look. Each column costs $100 to upgrade. A commercial grade post will look lie the standard posts, however, it uses a heaver gauge steel post inside and the post is fully wrapped with the aluminum. Those posts cost and additional $75 each.
