Pick the Pan for Sun and Hail
| Pan build | South Plains use |
|---|---|
| Heavier single-skin | Budget shade; press the builder on gauge before hail season |
| Foam-core insulated | Cuts radiant bounce on west slabs; quieter during hail |
| Open lattice aluminum | Less continuous sail area; little rain protection |
HomeGuide publishes Alumawood-type installed systems around $18–$55 per square foot. That band does not include upgraded uplift hardware some open Lubbock lots need — see wind & hail.
- Wash powder coat with hose and mild soap after dust events (upkeep notes).
- Confirm fan-rated beams before electrical.
- HOA chip approvals on white vs bronze before ordering.
