Thank you Natalia!
Very clean work, good job.
Thank you Arnold, we really appreciate it.
The work looks great guys, keep it up!
Thanks Rick, appreciate it.
Show 👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
I install the middle post before I get to far on the cover to make sure beam in the middle does not sag in the middle and I get drainage to both left and right side for two downspouts.
Yea, that's a solid way to do it. It's never a good thing when the patio sags in the middle.
Does the top look like a bunch of runners??
Yea, non-insulated is similar to having runners/water raceways.
Thanks for the comment and I hope you have a good rest of your day,

The u-channel or wall hanger, if i need a steeper slope can you put wedges behind it? The slope is about 1 3/4 inches every foot. What kind of wedge would you use?
Hey Racer! Thanks for the great question, yes we often have to use wedges for angled Fascia Boards, and in your case it would be in the reverse, adding metal, wood, bolts are all different types of wedges used during installation, depending on the specific install situation. Non-insulated is generally easier to do custom hanger installation with, because the hanger and roof is roll form, not extruded aluminum. Four Seasons hanger also has a angle on the bottom side, to help in situations like yours. Just make sure to seal the top really well, before adding your flashing.
Thanks again for the great question and feel free to email us, if you have any further ones,

Can you walk on top of this for home maintenance ? ie painting, or changing that light bulb
Yea, as a homeowner I wouldn't. I would hire someone that knows where the strong points of the patio cover are. At the bare minimum you need a wood support to service it. 2 by 4, Plywood, Etc.
Hope this helps and thanks for the comment,
Everyday Patio
Would love to see it a more detailed video on how to install those patios
Thank you for your comment Jean, we appreciate it! We have some good new content coming soon! Stay tuned!
I love that the posts do not show any brackets on bottom and read here that you used galvanized red heads. How many galvanized red heads per post? This job looks awesome. We might need help building a similar patio in San Diego. Could you help or quote?
Good Day Cal Power, thanks for the comment and kind words. We use a minimum of 2 galvanized red heads per post, this can change due to a number of factors, including seismic and wind rating, etc. And yes we service San Diego, California. Feel free to email us for more information at everydaypatio@gmail.com.
Thanks again and I hope you have a great rest of your day,

Strut that cover bro. Strut it
Haha everytime bro.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!!
how do I attach the post to concrete?
We use red heads, or embed the posts in concrete. All depends on your post spacing, projection, local building conditions and codes.
Hope this helps and thanks for the comment,

Awesome work, What kind of gasket did you use in the hanger?
Thanks man, the gasket is like a dense foam film with a sticky side you adhere over the screws to protect them and give the roof pans something to press against.
Reminds me of something made by 3M.
Thanks for asking,

How do you anchor the posts
We use galvanized red heads to anchor on slab.
Great video and love the cover. I am looking for something like that in TX. 12’ x 22’. Trying to find something with only 2 columns due to location it would at. Any options out there you recommend? By the way love the column wraps too.
Hey Again Emilio! Hope all is well. Four Seasons has a factory in Texas and should be able to get you and installer/material. We use footings and steel inserts to go spans larger than 20 ft. I would recommend going that route.
Hope you have a great rest of your weekend,
AJ
For the insulated version of this, what's the furthest projection without a center post for support inside of the patio? Where more usable space is achieved.
Hey Anto, hope all is well, the further projection without a post or "Clear Span" is determined by the type of roof, typically it's 15 to 20 ft. Some materials can go farther from Four Seasons and some can only go 10 ft., depending on the gauge and thickness of the roof.
Hope this makes sense, feel free to ask if you have any other questions,
Best Regards,
Everyday Patio
Hi love your work everything looks awesome. Right now we're in the process of buying or home in Victorville and looking to install a patio just like the one in this video. What is a rough estimate for something similar to this?
Hello Apolonio, hope you are having a good day and thanks for the comment. Pricing varies by area, type of material, installation method and warranty. Feel free to email us for more information regarding approved contractors.
Thanks,

is rain flashing necessary if the hanger is under the soffit?
I still use it most of the time, but many installers opt not to. It's hard to repair if the Soffit is leaking, but if you take a close look at the soffit before hand, you can see if it has water damage.
Thanks for the great question, hope you have a good rest of your day,
AJ
Do you use downspouts or are they built in somewhere?
Yes there’s a downspout on the patio on the post, sometimes we use scuppers it’s costumer preference.
Thank you for your comment,
Everyday Patio
What angle should u have on patio? And how long did u guys cut the post? Thank you
Hello Sir, thank you for reaching Everyday Patio. That is a good question, it depends on the house. A 1/4 inch of slope is recommended, and the post heights are determined on-site.
Thanks for reaching out, feel free to email us if you have any further questions,
Everydaypatio@gmail.com
How do the posts go into concrete? Thanks!
We anchor the patio cover with galvenized red heads, it's a type of bolt that expands in the concrete when tightened.
Thanks for asking,
Everyday Patio
What's the difference between this and the Alumawood one you did in a previous video? Is there much of a cost difference? Do you have a preference?
I made a video on Alumawood, just to showcase the material. I personally don't install or use the material. Mainly due to it being very thin material, prone to damage and it has a very low quality paint, without a primer coat. This tends to make Alumawood and similar products look very weathered and chalked after a few years. Elitewood is a thicker gauge material, has a deeper wood emboss, and a primer coat of paint before the finish coat. Also you have the option to have Kynar included in the paint, giving the paint a 30 year manufacturer warranty. Hope this helps, and if you have any further questions, feel free to email us at everydaypatio@gmail.com.
Thanks again and I hope you have a great rest of your day,

How much did you charge for this particular job?
All jobs are site specific and require more details to give accurate pricing. Feel free to email us with more details and I would be glad to help.
Thanks,
Everyday Patio
what, if anything, is done to protect the stucco on the home from cracking?
The initial caulking your supposed to use is meant to bond with the stucco, then the flashing installed on top of that is for further protection against weeping and cracking of the stucco. It is very important to use the right kind of urethane caulking in this step of the patio cover, not all caulking is the same. In fact there are 4 different categories in caulking to pay attention too, and from there you get into the proper brands.

Does the hanging channel need to attach to house framing behind stucco?
Hey Jake, to be properly installed, yes you need to attach the hanging channel to wood framing members of the house. Or at the bare minimum use proper wall anchors, if you have inconsistent framing on the house. We use masonry bits to find the wood, then typically every stud is 16 in., with doors and windows usually having a wood frame on the left and right side.
Great question, hope you have a great New Year!

We have a 40’ by 12’ alumawood patio cover that we want to downsize to 20’ by 12’. I can’t find anyone in my area to do this. All patio installers won’t touch existing covers. Any suggestions?
Good Day Sir, often it is harder to redo a patio cover than it is to build it new, especially if you don't know who built it originally. That's probably why they don't want to do it. If you send me an email with some pictures I'll better be able to give you suggestions and try to help you in the right direction.
Thanks,

What’s the difference between Elitewood and Alumawood?
Great question! The Elitewood thicker material better looking material than Alumawood.
Hope this helps and wish you a great day!
How much do you charge to install a non-insulated patio cover with 4 lights and 2 fans?

Thanks
Can you add fans or lights to it
Hey Jeremej, you can can add fan beam beam or light bays. It's like a cover and support piece that runs down one of the channels.
@@EverydayPatio thank you
Cost
Hello there Angel, thank you for your comment. For pricing information please feel free to email us at everydaypatio@gmail.com.
How do you cut these? When bought some aluminum fascia boards for these and I tried cutting them with a grinder...but the paint bubbles up on the edges being cut. How can I avoid this?
The thinner the the metal, it will burn from the heat of the grinder. I would recommend just using a circular saw with a blade that has more than 24 teeth. Depending on what your cutting exactly, there's others ways to do it too.
Thanks for reaching out and I hope you have a good day, feel free to give me an email if you have anymore questions. Everydaypatio@gmail.com
@@EverydayPatio will a miter saw work too?
Yea that's actually the most ideal thing to use, how's the build going?
