NEC and common sense requires busing where the wires pass thru the panel. NEC has an exception for NM-B cable ("romex") without a busing in this scenario, but not the unprotected fixture conductors. And in installation where the aluminum posts are mounted on a concrete slab, it's not going to short to ground. So if the insulation of the hot conductor is damaged, you've energized the entire structure and it's a shock hazard waiting to happen. With the ceiling fan video, there's enough room in the fan canopy to pull the "romex" thru the panel and make the connections in the canopy. But with this shallow light fixture you need to attach a junction box on the top side of the panel, cut a hole in the panel larger than the inner diameter of the fixture mounting bracket (the edges of the mounting bracket are not sharp and do not require a busing), and secure the "romex" to the junction box with a cable clamp. For less than $5 and 5 minutes, you'll have a safe and code-compliant installation. And to the DIY'ers - a non-compliant installation like this gives your insurance company grounds to refuse a claim in case of injury or fire.

What was that?

How can you prevent water from leaking in?

Can you mount anything on the headers? Looking to mount electric heaters

So none insulated looks like a rain gutter from a second story window or do y'all place a cover of some sort?

How does the fan mount to the non insulated panels

Do you have your own installers, or have external certified installers?

That isn't even a legal installation according to NEC code requirements. Why would you post this ?

I would like to know more about conduit panel.

We moved to a house with non insulated patio, on a 100 degrees weather u can notice the heat coming from the roof that radiates down, so we added an outdoor mister to add comfort.

How do you install a fan on an existing patio cover?

How would you install the ceiling fan on an existing Alumawood patio cover?

can I use your aluminum panels over a wooden frame?

What type of footer is required for the posts ?

I want to put a ceiling fan onto my covered patio i was told there’s a support beam to hold the fan is that aluminum. I was also told that’s usually in the middle of each panel is that correct?

I have a south facing patio cover. Ive had a insulated and non insulated cover.For me the difference was night and day. On very hot days i could feel the heat ratiating off of the non insulated cover. The difference was so great that was the #1 reason i even replaced the patio cover. If you have a north facing back yard im sure the heat intensity is far less Just like your home. The south side of your house is going to be warmer than the north in most cases

Why is 14 2 wire suggested? Can't 12 2 wire be used to install a fan???

We need better instructions on how to run the electrical. Also, no inspector or somewhat educated homeowner should run romex through a hole drilled directly in metal. There needs to be a grommet, or something to protect the wire/sheath from rubbing against metal and eventually shorting out.

its not even on their website!! smh

Can you add solar panels to non-insulated roofs?

Can you install a ceiling tv mount for a TV on the insulated one?

500 lumens? At least 1,500 or 2k for under the patio covering. What's the lumens limit for these insulated patios?

What if the roof is slanted so the fan bracket won't be parallel with the beam. That's my situation that I'm trying to figure out. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you

where can i find that material

Nice video! How far out can the 2x6’s overhang the beams?

Your audio is lacking, you know.

Question about the additional shade drop down that was on the non insulated you showed in your showcase. I need something like that. And won't break the bank!

I need a detail how to attach cover to the aluminum box beam. I see you are using bolt with washer, but is there a size?

What size lights do you guys use?

9:49 Why would I want to put the lag bolts with neoprene washers in the channels? I'd be more inclined to put them in the center of each faux wood section. I know they'll be caulked, but on a flat section they won't have a tendency to channel water down through them.

TLDR: You can walk on the insulated one but not the non-insulated one.

Are there different designs of insulated alumawood? I have checked the alumawood website and can't find them. Thanks.

10:50 why does the front gutter top lip go over the front of the insulated panel. I understand your supposed to caulk the seam to prevent water from flowing under it, but it just seems like a poor design. It makes sense to me to design it so the top lip of the gutter would slide under the top sheet of aluminum.. between the Styrofoam and aluminum so there's no obstruction in the flow of water or the possibility of water sliding under the gutter lip.

Do you know where I can get in DFW Tx

Can I combine insulated and non-insulated over a huge patio cover? I only need to walk on a small part of the cover to access gable end.

Where can I buy the flashing/caps for protecting wires?

Great video. Thanks 4 sharing

Hello from Cali-, So Cali...you made some great points. I have an insulated patio that was installed about 3 years ago, and has leaked at the joint with fascia in 2 areas. I have used tubes and tubes of silicone and recently removed it all and redid with black jack silicone sealant, guess what ? Leaks are still around. wondering if my installer used proper flashing. I am about ready to hire a few guys from Home Depot and take it apart to see whats going on. Any recommendations.

Which pull down shade is that installed across the beam?

Hi Adam what do you use to waterproof the insulated panels on top?

What’s the weight limit on the ceiling fan beam?

What’s the weight limit on ceiling fan beam? I’m looking to buy fans that weigh almost 40 lbs!

He says that the angled part of weather-break in the C-channel should be towards the sky, but his demo piece is made with it facing down. which doesn't help me when mine doesn't have an angled piece and isn't in the center of the channel.

Is there a way to add a fan after you’ve installed the Patio Cover?

i see some of these with rockwool on the inside instead of foam... would those be better?

this is a bs video ....it doesn't show anything...

Where can you buy the light,thank you

What is the max distance between posts for a solid cover? I emailed a rep but he didnt respond with anything that answers my question.

I had watch a previous video and you stated you personally have a non insulated cover. On this one u say its insulated. I wanted to ask can u feel much difference in heat radiation between the 2

Can u make balcony on top from bedroom
