Custom Renaissance Patio Insulated Aluminum Cover | Full Screen Wall Enclosure for Pollen and Bug Protection








Custom Renaissance Patio Insulated Aluminum Cover | Full Screen Wall Enclosure for Pollen and Bug Protection









This Robin Forest project added a fully custom Renaissance Patio cover with integrated screen walls in San Antonio, TX. We chose the Renaissance insulated aluminum system for its strength, low maintenance, and resistance to relentless Central Texas heat and hail. The screen walls turn an open slab into a sheltered space that keeps out cedar pollen and mosquitoes. Finished on November 30, 2023, the cover gives this homeowner a durable outdoor living area built for the climate.

This homeowner came back to us as a previous customer, reaching out on October 2, 2023. They already knew our crew's work and wanted a permanent shaded space over their existing patio slab in Robin Forest. The conversation started with a clear goal: a cover they could actually use year-round.
We inspected the slab and confirmed it was level and solid enough to anchor a permanent structure. Given San Antonio's shifting limestone soil, we checked the footing points closely before finalizing the post layout. The clear, drain-free slab made planning the screen wall runs straightforward.
The project was approved on October 5, 2023, just three days after first contact. We specified the Renaissance Patio insulated aluminum system with a full screen wall enclosure. Panel and framing selections were made to match across the whole structure.
Installation ran across several days in November 2023. The crew anchored posts to the slab, installed the insulated panel roof as one connected system, then framed and screened the walls. Cooler late-fall weather made for clean, efficient working conditions.
We wrapped the project on November 30, 2023, with a walkthrough of the finished cover and screen enclosure. The homeowner gained a shaded, bug-free outdoor room built to handle 100°-plus heat and spring hail. The low-maintenance aluminum needs no sealing or repainting going forward.
We designed and built a custom patio cover with screen walls for a home in Robin Forest, San Antonio, wrapping the job on November 30, 2023. The finished space turns a bare concrete slab into a shaded, screened outdoor room built to shrug off Texas summers.
This homeowner had a solid patio slab but no shade over it. In San Antonio, an open slab in July is unusable by mid-morning. They wanted a real outdoor room, not a flimsy awning.
When we walked the slab, the existing concrete was in good shape and level enough to anchor a permanent structure. That matters more than most people expect. San Antonio sits on shifting limestone-heavy soil, and a cover is only as stable as what holds it down. We checked the footing points carefully before committing to the post layout, since a rushed anchor job is what causes covers to sag or pull loose after a few seasons. The clear slab also let us plan the screen wall runs without working around drains or odd elevation changes.
We built the structure using the Renaissance Patio insulated aluminum system. The insulated roof panels do something a simple metal roof can't: they cut heat transfer, so the space below stays noticeably cooler. That was the whole point for a west-facing patio in this climate.
Aluminum was the right call for a few reasons. It won't rot like wood, won't rust like raw steel, and it holds up to hail far better than a fabric or polycarbonate cover. In a region that sees hard hail nearly every spring, that durability pays off. The screen walls use matching aluminum framing, so the whole enclosure reads as one clean, finished piece.
The build ran across several days and finished on November 30, 2023. Our crew set the posts and beams first, then locked in the insulated panel roof before framing the screen walls. Sequencing it this way keeps the structure square and weather-tight as it goes up.
The homeowner ended up with a screened outdoor room they can use through every season. Summer afternoons stay shaded and cooler under the insulated roof. Spring evenings stay pollen-free and bug-free behind the screens.
This one was approved on October 5 and completed on November 30, 2023. The on-site build itself spanned several days. Lead time depends on the custom panel and screen order.
Aluminum doesn't rot, warp, or rust, and the insulated panels actively reduce heat below the roof. Wood needs constant upkeep in San Antonio humidity, and fabric shreds under hail. Aluminum handles all of it with almost no maintenance.
Yes. During cedar season, the screen enclosure keeps most airborne pollen off your furniture and out of the space. It also blocks mosquitoes in the warmer months.
This custom cover with screen walls fell in the $30,000 to $40,000 range. Final pricing depends on size, screen coverage, and site prep. Reach out to Austin Pro for a quote on your slab.
