Modern Aluminum Pergolas: Key Benefits at a Glance
Heavy Duty Engineering
Made with extruded 6061-T6 aluminum from 4K Aluminum, these modern pergolas are built to outperform traditional wood or roll-formed metal structures. The reinforced frame handles wind speeds up to 130 mph and is engineered for compliance in seismic zones—offering the durability you need for California’s toughest conditions.
Flexible Shade Coverage
Every modern aluminum pergola is custom-designed to match your preferred level of shade. You can choose the size, spacing, and orientation of the lattice tubes to create a patio roof that offers soft filtered light or near-total coverage. It’s the perfect way to tailor your outdoor living space for comfort, style, and shade.
Clean Lines. Sleek Finish.
Modern aluminum pergolas are built for bold, open designs. Long beam spans and cantilevers reduce the need for posts, creating a clean, streamlined look. The powder-coated finish is smooth, uniform, and built to resist fading, chipping, and peeling. It’s the perfect way to bring a high-end, contemporary feel to your outdoor space.
Engineered for the Elements
Modern aluminum pergolas are built to handle whatever the California climate throws their way. From scorching sun to high winds and heavy rain, the materials won’t warp, rust, or corrode. The powder-coated finish protects against fading and wear, giving you a structure that looks great—and performs—year after year.
What is a Modern Aluminum Pergola?
A modern aluminum pergola is a sleek, low-maintenance outdoor structure designed to provide partial shade while enhancing the architectural look of your patio or backyard. Made from extruded aluminum, these pergolas are stronger than wood and won't rust, warp, or require regular upkeep.
Key features of modern aluminum pergolas include:
Durable aluminum construction that resists weather, pests, and decay
Customizable lattice roof with adjustable spacing for ideal shade coverage
Powder-coated finishes in modern color options like black, gray, or white
Clean lines and minimalist design for a contemporary aesthetic

What Our Customers Say
“Valley Patios is awesome, quick and very easy and pleasant to work with. I wanted a Pergola in my backyard and called them. They sent a representative the next day, the estimate a day later. Then they dealt with the HOA approval and the city permits and got all of this approved quickly. The build of my Pergola and the City Inspections worked like clockwork. And the result is beautiful! I highly recommend them.”
—C. Vogt-Wingerath
“Valley Patios did a great job of installing a pergola in the courtyard on our new house. They communicated well with us in explaining the benefits and limitations of having a pergola so that we could make an informed decision. We are delighted with the finished product - it provides a lot more protection for us when using the courtyard. We highly recommend Valley Patios.”
