Aluminum Extrusions

Aluminum posts, receiving channels, beams, headers, and other extrusion profiles can be used to create the structural framework for pool cages, lanai screen enclosures, patios, and other screened structures.

Yes. The aluminum extrusion profiles offered by U-Build-It are designed for applications including pool cages and lanai screen enclosures, providing a durable framework for outdoor screening systems.

A 2" × 2" extruded aluminum porch and patio screening system is commonly used. U-Build-It notes that these frames have a 0.062" thick aluminum wall, providing strength and durability for patio screening applications.

Aluminum extrusions form the structural frame that supports the screened sections of an enclosure. Screen mesh can then be secured within the appropriate frame channels using compatible screening components such as spline.

Yes. Aluminum is lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant, making extrusions well suited for outdoor structures that are exposed to weather. U-Build-It specifically uses extruded aluminum frames for patio and screen-room applications.

Some aluminum extrusion projects can be completed as DIY projects, depending on the design, project complexity, tools, and experience. More complex screen enclosures or structural projects may require professional installation.
