20 ft. x 12 ft. White Aluminum Attached Solid Patio Cover with 4 Posts (10 lbs. Live Load)

It took me awhile, but I finally finished installing the 12’ x20’ Twinvee Patio Cover over our patio. It took me longer than normal for several reasons: 1. It’s been a hotter than normal summer here in New Port Richey, FL. 2. It’s been very humid. 3. Against ther very specific instructions, I was determined to install this all by myself. (My wife said had she known that you recommended 1 or 2 other people to assist, she would have vetoed my doing it alone. She said I’m not 60 anymore.) I thought that with the pandemic, I wasn’t really in a great hurry and didn’t have anything else major to accomplish. So I could usually work half a day on it until I was worn out and soaked to the skin each day. Because we wanted to butt one side of the roof up against the existing lanai, after installing 2 roof panels on each end, I did have to start adding the remaining roof panels from the left side instead of the right. I found out, soon enough, why installing from the right is easier. If you install them from the right, the new panel snaps together on top of the installed panel, preventing the new panel from tending to fall. But it worked out and, in a short time, I got used to installing them the way our situation necessitated. The fun part was trying to snap the new roof panel together with the previous one and then sliding it the rest of the 12 feet without letting it drop out of the groove. But I even got a knack for doing that. I enjoyed it and now have a patio roof to be very proud of. We’ve been sitting outside, under the new roof, enjoying it and the few little improvements we’ve been able to make because the patio is now protected from the rain almost every night. My wife and I both agree that the construction is very well-built and strong, much better quality than we had been expecting, and we are both very pleased with our purchase.

I have an engineering degree, and this project took a lot longer to put together than it should have. As I was putting the Front Fascia together using the the front fascia splice provided, after finally getting the first half to fit I noticed why there was a problem getting it to fit right, and why there was no way to get the second part to fit at all. The front fascia splice was not SQUARE, one side was longer than the other. I had to bend it straight and then cut about a 1/2inch off the top and then bend it back again. Problem #2 the bolts they supplied are to short for the job, the instructions clearly state to use 3-1/2in bolts but what was suppled are only 3in bolts. (see pictures)

It looks great. I just love it. Can't wait to have friends over to show it off. The only thing i might have changed it maybe adding pre-drilled holes to make it move a long a little faster

This was a perfect option for what we needed for shade on our back deck. After the purchase we decided to tear down our old wooden deck that we did not use too often due to the heat and replace with concrete patio. This was so easy to install following the step by step instructions, I did it by myself using several ladders and all recommended tools. Once completed we decided to purchase a screen room kit also from Home Depot to complete our new patio. We are absolutely in love with it.

I put some design changes.

First of all the finished product is a beautiful elegant carport (or patio cover). The entire instruction manual is almost totally worthless! The panels snap together but it takes a lot of effort, and by all means you must have help! Two people at a minimum. Even better if one of you has some experience with the system.

This is a good product but like the other reviews the directions are less then adequate. So you have to figure things out on your own. But the end result was good.

Does exactly what I wanted- covers the patio, adds shade, helps cooling.

I Love this product. It was about 6 hours to complete. Make sure you two to three people. And make it happen. It's not bad to follow the instructions. Just prep everything before you start.. I would recommend this product and just so you know I am buying another for over the hot tub. LOVE IT!...

The instructions aren't the greatest but quality better than inspected we ordered one to make sure we liked it just ordered the other to complete our 12x40 cover for boat and truck ( lots of compliments ftom neighbors) worth the money my husband and I are 75 years young DYI
