Alternative 1

Domi 13x13 steel, gray

$125 cheaper, 5-year warranty, higher score

A square 169 sq ft Domi in gray steel with two crank-operated zones. One bullet on the listing still says 10 x 12, but the title and size field say 13 x 13, and we went with those. Check the size on the box when it arrives.

Best for: A square patio or deck on a steel budget

Mirador 80S 10x12
