Fan beams are crucial for patio covers because they hold up the ceiling fan and keep the roof panels and rafters from feeling the strain. Putting in a fan beam right means your patio cover stays strong and lasts long. Plus, it’s handy for hiding wiring and adds a neat spot for those pesky cables. This beam stretches across the whole roof panel, snug in the foam core.
So, it’s not just about support, it’s about keeping things tidy and making sure your patio hangout stays chill and worry-free.
Alright, so those sideplates on your Alumawood patio cover? They’re like the building blocks for that ‘H’ shape, working hand in hand with the posts.
Made of aluminum with foam filling to keep ’em dent-free, they’re usually around 2″ x 6 1/2″. These bad boys wrap snugly around the 3″ x 3″ posts, sticking above them to cap off the single header beam, or tucking under the double beams for the double header beam setup. Think of them as the cherry on top, giving your patio cover style and sturdiness.
