The Contempo
Decorative Solid Roof Patio Cover with Truss Ends
You are looking for a patio cover that looks great and protects you from the heat with high levels of insulation. And you want it as soon as possible, right? Plus, you want the look of a wood-framed patio, but you don’t want to pay the high price of wood or spend every spring resealing, prepainting, and checking for termites? No problem! For you, Renaissance Patio created the Contempo Patio Cover with just those requirements in mind. The Contempo builds on the structure of our Moderno Patio Cover but adds the decorative flair stylish truss ends provide, giving it a more traditional wood-framed roof look.
Contempo Highlights
The Contempo Patio Cover is built especially for homeowners who want it all: strength, durability, style, and affordability. By building on the same framework as our other Patio Covers, the Contempo strikes a balance between the fully framed patio roof such as our Classico line, and the simplicity of the Moderno.
- Using all aircraft-grade aluminum, UV-resistant, injection-molded resin parts, and rust-resistant screws, the Contempo offers you the look of wood framing, without the excessive cost and time required to install and full wood-framed patio.
- Aluminum core patio covers require little to no maintenance and never require painting.
- The Contempo was designed to anchor the ultimate screen room, with decorative truss ends on the exterior-facing side only, it makes for one seriously stunning screen room, especially when coupled with our Dolce Screen Wall System, which hides all the unsightly screws visible on most structures in the market.
- We designed and engineered Contempo from scratch for extreme strength. It’s tough enough to stand up to high winds and heavy snow loads. When you invest in a Contempo, you are buying a patio for life, not just a cheap addition that fades quickly or collapses after a year.
The Contempo is about balance – the balance between clean lines and the traditional appeal of wood-framed design and between affordability and high style. With the Contempo, you have a winner on your hands, and our customers agree. The Contempo is an ideal patio for homeowners with an eye for style who don’t want to spend a fortune attaining it.

Contempo Options
You love the affordable luxury the Contempo delivers and want to customize it to add the personal touches to make it even more enjoyable. Here are some ideas;
Pick a primo location
While most customers opt to attach their Contempo roof to their home as an extension of their living space, you have the option of building a completely freestanding structure. This option allows you to locate a large covered living space anywhere in your yard, overlooking mountains, lakes, or your garden, or in a secluded corner of your property.
Screen out those bugs!
Nothing spoils your enjoyment of your new outdoor paradise quicker than a swarm of mosquitoes. Thankfully the Contempo is ideally suited to be screened in with the Dolce Screen System. We can even install Dolce without the framing to give you a single massive screen panel instead of a wide-open view. Ask your installer about the Dolce Open View screen wall option.
Keep the fun going year-round
Any Renaissance solid patio roof structure can be installed with full glass walls beneath, turning your patio into a fully air-conditioned and heated four-season sunroom. Our Lumino Sunroom system can even accommodate highly insulated, vinyl-framed, low-E panes, or – if you live in a high-wind zone = high impact glass.
