Combination Patio Covers

Combination Patio Covers in Las Vegas, NV

City Seamless Patio Covers is a licensed Nevada contractor (Licenses #0081882 and #0082656) that has been installing combination patio covers since 1976. A combination cover integrates solid and lattice sections under a single structure — full overhead shade and rain protection where you need it, and filtered sunlight with open airflow where you want it. We install combination covers using Alumawood and Four Seasons Elitewood Classic and Elitewood Ultra product lines, in attached, freestanding, and multi-section configurations. City Seamless is the longest-operating patio cover installer in the Las Vegas Valley.

What Is a Combination Patio Cover?

A combination patio cover is a single structure that uses both solid panels and lattice slats in different sections of the same roof. The solid section blocks 100% of sunlight and provides complete rain protection. The lattice section filters sunlight by approximately 40–60% while allowing natural airflow. The two sections share the same beam and post structure, creating a unified, engineered design rather than two separate covers bolted together.

Combination covers are the most design-flexible patio cover configuration available. They allow homeowners to assign different shade levels to different zones of the patio — complete coverage over the dining table and outdoor kitchen, filtered light over the pool deck or lounge area — without building two separate structures and without compromising on engineering or appearance.

Why Combination Covers Are the Most Popular Configuration in Las Vegas

Las Vegas backyards are not single-use spaces. A typical Las Vegas patio serves as a dining area, a cooking area, a lounge area, and a transition zone to the pool — all within the same footprint. Each of these zones has different shade requirements. An outdoor kitchen needs complete overhead coverage to protect the grill and countertops from rain and keep the cooking area tolerable in summer. A pool-adjacent seating area benefits from filtered light and open sky rather than a dark, enclosed roof.

A combination cover addresses all of these needs under one structure. Instead of choosing between solid and lattice for the entire patio, homeowners can zone their shade — solid over the functional areas, lattice over the open-air areas. This makes combination covers especially popular on Las Vegas homes with large patios that serve multiple purposes.

City Seamless also builds combination covers that incorporate insulated panels in the solid section. This upgrades the shaded zone with the 3-inch EPS foam core thermal barrier, built-in electrical raceways for ceiling fans and recessed lighting, and the greatest possible heat reduction — while keeping the lattice section open and airy. This solid-insulated-plus-lattice configuration is the premium option for Las Vegas outdoor living spaces.

Designing a Combination Patio Cover

The design flexibility of a combination cover starts with the layout. There are no fixed rules for how much of the cover is solid versus lattice — the proportions are entirely based on the homeowner's patio layout and how each zone is used.

Common configurations in Las Vegas include:

Solid over the house side, lattice over the yard side. This is the most common layout. The solid section covers the area directly off the sliding glass door — the dining table, seating area, and any built-in features. The lattice section extends further into the yard toward the pool or landscape. This creates a natural transition from full shade to filtered light as you move away from the house.

Solid center section with lattice wings. For wider patios, a solid center section provides the primary covered living area while lattice wings on either side add architectural width and partial shade over flanking seating or landscape zones.

Lattice over the main patio, solid over a specific zone. Some homeowners prefer an overall open feel with full coverage only over a specific area — such as a built-in grill or a hot tub. The lattice provides the dominant overhead aesthetic while the solid section serves a targeted functional purpose.

Solid-insulated section with lattice section. The insulated section provides maximum heat reduction and integrated electrical (fans, lights, outlets) over the primary entertaining area. The lattice section preserves open sky and airflow over the pool or secondary seating zone. This is the premium combination configuration.

City Seamless evaluates each patio on-site and provides design recommendations based on the home's orientation, the patio's dimensions, and how the homeowner uses the space. Sun angle, prevailing wind direction, and the location of doors and windows all factor into the design.

Same Price as Single-Style Covers

At City Seamless, combination covers are priced the same as solid-only or lattice-only covers of the same total square footage. Mixing solid and lattice sections within one structure does not carry a premium surcharge. This is a pricing policy that not all Las Vegas patio cover companies follow — some charge extra for the design complexity of combination layouts. At City Seamless, the price is based on the total covered area and the materials selected, not on how the sections are divided.

Combination Cover Construction and Materials

City Seamless installs combination patio covers using Alumawood and Four Seasons Elitewood product lines. The solid section and lattice section share the same beam and post framework, with transition details that create a clean visual break between the two roof types.

Alumawood Combination Covers — Both the solid panels and lattice slats are manufactured by Amerimax with cedar wood-grain embossing. Alumawood carries a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty.

Elitewood Classic Combination Covers — Cedar wood-grain texture with a baked enamel finish across both sections. Classic carries a 15-year manufacturer warranty on the finish. City Seamless is a factory-authorized Four Seasons installer.

Elitewood Ultra Combination Covers — Deep driftwood emboss with a Kynar 500 fluoropolymer coating on both solid and lattice components. The Ultra line carries a 30-year manufacturer warranty covering chalking and fading, plus a lifetime limited warranty on structural components. No other residential patio cover product matches the Elitewood Ultra warranty.

Colors and HOA Compliance for Combination Covers

Elitewood combination covers are available in 8 standard colors: White, Desert Sand, Brown, Beige, Champagne, Adobe, Almond, and Cameo. Two-tone combinations are available — one color for the roof components, another for posts and beams. The solid section and lattice section can share the same color for a unified look or use different colors for visual contrast. City Seamless works with HOA color requirements daily and can match approved palettes in Summerlin, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, and every Las Vegas community.

Combination Patio Cover Applications in Las Vegas

Multi-Zone Outdoor Living Spaces — The primary application for combination covers. Solid over the kitchen, dining, and primary seating area. Lattice over the pool deck, lounge area, or garden transition. One structure, two shade environments.

Large Patios on Premium Homes — Homes in Summerlin, Anthem, Lake Las Vegas, and other premium Las Vegas communities often have patios exceeding 400 square feet. A combination cover provides visual variety and functional zoning across a large footprint without the monotony of a single roof type spanning the entire area.

Homes with Pools — The pool-adjacent transition zone is where combination covers perform best. Solid coverage keeps the entertaining area dry and cool. Lattice over the pool deck lets swimmers enjoy open sky while reducing sun intensity on the surrounding hardscape.

Phased Projects — Some homeowners start with a solid section over the primary patio area and plan to extend with a lattice section in a future phase. Because City Seamless designs the initial beam structure to accommodate future expansion, the second phase integrates seamlessly without rebuilding the original structure.

Frequently Asked Questions — Combination Patio Covers in Las Vegas

What is a combination patio cover?
A combination patio cover is a single structure that uses both solid panels and lattice slats in different sections. The solid section blocks 100% of sunlight and rain. The lattice section filters sunlight by 40–60% and allows airflow. Both sections share the same beam and post structure for a unified, engineered design.

Does a combination cover cost more than a solid or lattice cover?
Not at City Seamless. We price combination covers the same as single-style covers of the same total square footage. Mixing solid and lattice sections within one structure does not carry a surcharge. Not all Las Vegas patio cover companies follow this pricing approach.

Can the solid section be insulated?
Yes. City Seamless builds combination covers where the solid section uses insulated Elitewood panels with a 3-inch EPS foam core. This gives the solid zone maximum heat reduction plus built-in electrical raceways for ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and outlets — while the lattice section stays open and airy.

How do I decide where to put solid vs. lattice?
City Seamless evaluates your patio on-site and recommends a layout based on how you use the space, your home's orientation, and the sun angle. General guidance: solid over areas where you want rain protection and maximum shade (dining, kitchen, primary seating), lattice over areas where you want filtered light and open sky (pool deck, lounge, garden transition).

Can a combination cover be freestanding?
Yes. Combination covers can be built attached to the home or as freestanding structures. Freestanding combination covers are common over pool areas and detached entertaining zones.

Can I add the lattice section later?
Yes. City Seamless can design the initial solid section with the beam structure engineered to accommodate a future lattice extension. When you're ready for the second phase, the lattice integrates into the existing framework without rebuilding the original structure.

What is the difference between Elitewood Classic and Ultra?
Classic features a cedar wood-grain texture and a 15-year manufacturer finish warranty. Ultra features a deep driftwood emboss with a Kynar 500 fluoropolymer coating and a 30-year warranty that covers chalking and fading. Both are available for combination covers.

Do I need a permit for a combination cover?
Yes. Clark County and all incorporated cities in the Las Vegas Valley require building permits for patio cover installations. City Seamless handles the entire permit process from application through final inspection.

How long does installation take?
Most residential combination covers are completed in 1 to 3 days depending on total size, configuration, and whether insulated panels with electrical are included. City Seamless provides a clear timeline at the estimate appointment.

What colors are available?
8 standard colors — White, Desert Sand, Brown, Beige, Champagne, Adobe, Almond, and Cameo — with two-tone options. The solid section and lattice section can be the same color or different colors for visual contrast.
