The Fresco

Pergola-Style Patio Cover with Translucent Roof Panels

The Fresco polycarbonate patio cover provides a pergola-style roof that allows some light to pass through while keeping the heat out. The Fresco was born from the simple style of the Aria pergola. Then we custom designed a system to fasten the industry’s best standing-seam, infrared rejecting panels atop it. This winning combination allows light to brighten your patio space while protecting it from the elements year-round.

Key Features of the Fresco

Modern Materials

Aircraft grade powder-coated extruded aluminum can stand the test of time while remaining beautiful and requiring little to no maintenance. High carbon steel and nylon headed fasteners withstand the worst nature can throw at them, and automotive grade nylon covers and caps create a smooth and complete appearance designed to live in the sun.

Insulated polycarbonate roof panels

Fresco Polycarbonate Panels include five unique air chambers, nearly once inch thick. Extruded polycarbonate with an infrared rejecting layer of reflective insulation make the Fresco panels the industry’s finest solution to a translucent patio. Using standing seam connections means that much like a standing seam metal roof, your panel cannot leak in the seams, so not only do you have a cool and comfy bright patio space, but it is one that locks out the weather.

Amazing design and engineering

Designed and engineered for the extremes of Miami-Dade county wind zone, Colorado snow loads, and Texas summer sun. You can build a Renaissance Patio anywhere in the country with confidence. Our network of independent installers know the local codes and will custom design a space to fit the local weather and building code requirements.

Patio design with the dream in mind

You dream of a place to retreat from the world, and we want to make that dream come true. All Renaissance Patios are designed to be built quickly and affordably, this is only possible due to smart design and efficient manufacturing. The use of modern materials means you spend time enjoying your patio, not painting, staining, washing, and maintaining it.

It’s all in the details

Style Meets Strength

The Aria shade trellis was designed from the ground up to serve two purposes. First, to be a stunning work of art in your backyard, and second, to provide shade so you can enjoy the outdoors all season long. The Aria shade trellis, although it looks similar to a wooden shade trellis, incorporates nothing but the highest quality materials. Aircraft-grade extruded aluminum beams, baked-on finishes, nylon head fasteners, decorative post covers, and of course, the highest strength engineered connections to insure your new shade trellis can stand the test of time. Compare the Aria to any system on the market and we think you will agree, nothing beats the clean lines, and stunning look and feel, with high-strength, worry-free materials.

Choose the Look That Matches Your Home

The ShadeCraft Elite comes in a range of finish colors and materials, including powder-coated aluminum or pressure-treated lumber. You can also customize trim profiles, column styles, and roof pitch to get the exact look you want.
