Can I install solar panels on a patio cover?

Possibly. Depending on structural engineering and local code, solar-compatible roof systems may be available.

How do patio covers connect to my existing home?

Attached models are anchored to your home wall, fascia or roof line with sealed transitions to prevent leaks or damage.

Can I customize the ceiling design?

No. Roof panels are always white, but homeowners have customised their roof with breadboard, smooth finishes, wood panels and accommodations for lighting and fans.

What colors and finishes are available?

You can choose from a variety of neutral and architectural finishes designed to complement most homes and buildings.

Are your patio covers waterproof?

Yes. TEMO’s solid roof panels are fully waterproof and sealed to keep your space dry during rain or snow.

Is a permit required to install a pavilion or cover?

Yes. We handle all permitting and code compliance for your location.

What is a TEMO Pergola?

A pergola is an open-air shade structure made from durable aluminum that adds visual interest, structure, and comfort to outdoor areas. TEMO pergolas feature advanced finishes and heavy-duty construction designed to withstand harsh sunlight, wind, and rain.

What’s the difference between fixed and operable pergolas?

Fixed pergolas offer consistent partial shade through open lattice beams. Operable pergolas have adjustable louvers that open or close with a button press—letting you control sunlight and rain protection as needed.

Can TEMO pergolas be attached to my home?

Yes. We offer both attached and freestanding pergolas. Attached pergolas integrate seamlessly with your home or business, while freestanding options work beautifully in gardens, courtyards, and pool decks.

What styles and designs are available?
