Solid and lattice alumawood patio covers built for Barstow’s 110-degree summers. Ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and custom colors. About 35 minutes from our Hesperia office.
Get Your Free Patio Cover EstimateWe build patio covers Barstow homeowners depend on to handle the worst heat in our entire service area. Sitting at about 2,100 feet where I-15 meets I-40, summer temperatures regularly hit 110 degrees and stay there for weeks. A patio without a cover is completely unusable from May through October. Even concrete in the shade hits 130 degrees on the worst days. An alumawood patio cover blocks the sun, drops the temperature underneath by 20-30 degrees, and a ceiling fan is mandatory to make it comfortable.
Monarch Landscape & Design installs alumawood patio covers in Barstow from our office at 8455 Hickory Avenue in Hesperia. The drive is about 35 minutes on I-15, and it does not add to the cost of your project. We handle everything from permits to electrical, and we’ve been building outdoor living spaces in the High Desert since 2009. Solid covers, lattice covers, attached or freestanding. Your call.
Barstow sits lower in the desert than Victorville or Apple Valley, and the heat is more extreme. At about 2,100 feet, summer highs regularly pass 110 degrees. Here’s what makes a patio cover essential in Barstow.
Alumawood patio covers in solid and lattice styles, built for extreme desert heat.
Barstow is the hottest city in our service area, regularly hitting 110-120 in July and August. The Alumawood Maxx Panel insulated profile is the only cover type that makes a real difference at those temperatures. The high-density foam core blocks heat transfer instead of conducting it through, so the space underneath stays significantly cooler than under bare metal or single-skin patio covers. We also install the Newport solid profile for full shade and rain protection. Alumawood is non-combustible aluminum, fire-rated, and immune to termites and rot. Barstow’s alkaline sandy soil actually makes footing work straightforward compared to the caliche and granite in other High Desert cities. The alumawood finish resists UV fade and never needs repainting, and you can mount recessed lights, ceiling fans, and speakers directly to the panels.

At 110+, lattice over a main patio usually isn’t enough, but it works well for garden walkways, RV parking shade, and areas near the I-15/I-40 commercial corridor where businesses want covered outdoor seating without a fully enclosed feel. Lattice filters 50-70% of the sun depending on slat angle and spacing. The alumawood finish handles Barstow’s extreme UV without cracking or fading. Cost-wise, lattice runs less per square foot than solid, so it covers more area for the same budget.

Everything is permitted and inspected. The fan is what makes a covered patio usable on days when the thermometer passes 110, and the lights mean you can use the space well into the evening when the heat finally breaks.
Ask About Electrical Options →Attached covers tie into your existing roofline for a seamless look. Freestanding covers sit on their own posts and work anywhere in the yard. We install both. Attached is the most common for back patios since it creates a natural extension of the house. Freestanding works well for pool areas, outdoor kitchens, or spots away from the main structure where you want shade but don’t have a wall to attach to.
Discuss Your Layout →Alumawood comes in a range of colors from white to dark bronze. The factory finish is baked on and rated for UV exposure, so it won’t fade or peel in the desert sun. We bring color samples to your property so you can see them against your stucco, trim, and roof before making a decision. Tan, brown, and white are the most popular choices in Barstow, but we can order custom matches for any home.

Dark bronze solid cover with clean flashing detail where the cover meets the roofline. The homeowner wanted a cover that blended with the darker trim on the house. We color-matched the panels and posts to the existing exterior.
White solid alumawood cover over a family patio with turf yard and basketball court. The cover gives the kids a shaded area to cool off between games. Ceiling fan and recessed lights make it usable from morning to night.
White pergola-style cover over a pool area with turf accents. This freestanding design provides shade by the pool without attaching to the house. Perfect for Barstow summers when the pool deck gets too hot to walk on barefoot.
We install patio covers across all of Barstow. Sun exposure is intense everywhere in the city, and we size every cover for local conditions.
Residential area on the south side with a mix of older and newer homes. Many properties here have small builder patios with no cover at all. The elevation gives slightly more wind exposure, so we engineer the post footings and connections for the conditions. Solid covers with fans are the most common request.
Homes along the Lenwood Road corridor near the outlet stores and I-15. Larger lots are common here, and many homeowners want extended coverage over bigger patios. We build covers up to 20+ feet wide with multiple ceiling fans for full airflow across the space.
Older housing stock along historic Route 66 and the downtown corridor. Many of these homes have aging wood patio covers with cracked paint, termite damage, and sagging beams. Alumawood replaces them with the same wood look but zero maintenance. No painting, no termites, no rot.
Homes along the corridor toward Fort Irwin and the National Training Center. Many military families stationed at Fort Irwin rent or buy in this area. A patio cover makes a huge difference for families who want usable outdoor space in the extreme heat. We work with homeowners and landlords to get covers installed quickly.
From first visit to finished shade, here’s how it works.
We come to your Barstow property, measure the patio, check the attachment points on your house, and discuss solid vs lattice, colors, and electrical options. You get a written quote.
We finalize the cover size, style, color, and electrical layout. Then we pull the building permit from the City of Barstow. Permit processing typically takes 1-2 weeks.
Post footings go in first, then the ledger board attaches to your house. The cover panels, posts, and trim go up in 1-3 days depending on size. Electrical gets wired the same week.
The city inspector signs off on the structural and electrical work. We clean up, walk you through the fan and light controls, and you start using your new covered patio.

“We moved to Barstow Heights last year and the backyard was completely unusable in the summer. Monarch drove out, measured everything, and had a solid cover with a fan installed in under three weeks. Now we grill out there every weekend, even in July. The 35-minute drive from Hesperia didn’t affect the price at all.”
“Our old wood patio cover was falling apart. The paint was peeling and the beams were sagging. Monarch replaced it with an alumawood cover in the same color and it looks brand new. No more painting every year. The recessed lights are a nice touch too. Very happy with the whole project.”
