$200 more

$230 cheaper, aluminum frame, steel louvers
An aluminum frame with round pillars, galvanized steel louvers and Mirador's patented drainage through the pillars, 10 x 20 ft. The round posts look softer than the usual square ones. It has a 70 mph wind rating.
Best for: A long patio where the look of the posts matters
