Japanese aluminum profile patio covers can be custom-fit to sites like this one. Setback requirements mean the property line determines how far the roof can extend. To accommodate the setback, the rafters of this patio cover were custom-cut to follow the property line at a 2.5’ distance. The bearing beam is also important, as it allows the posts to be placed at the 5-foot setback.

You can see another nice feature of a Japanese aluminum patio cover roof. The roof panels are made of polycarbonate, and as you can see above, you can cut out a section to route a house gutter through the patio roof.
All Japanese aluminum outdoor roof systems come equipped with a gutter system. The main roof structure will incorporate a specifically engineered aluminum gutter profile.
