Insulated Patio Cover Installation in Bogalusa, LA
Southern Home Improvement Center furnished and installed a custom-manufactured Southern Insulator Super Three insulated patio cover for a home in Bogalusa, Louisiana. The completed cover measures approximately 16 ft. × 26 ft. and provides about 416 square feet of protected outdoor space.
The project combines a 3-inch-thick foam-filled roofing system with 3-inch × 3-inch aluminum posts, 6-inch seamless aluminum gutters, and metal Leaf Guards. White roof panels create a bright finished surface overhead, while Dark Bronze trim, posts, and gutters form a consistent frame around the structure.

Insulated Coverage Over the Concrete Patio
The new roof extends across the home’s existing concrete patio, turning a previously exposed area into a defined covered space. The approximately 16 × 26 ft. footprint provides substantial overhead protection while leaving the sides open to the surrounding yard.
The property is surrounded by mature trees, making the open layout an important part of the finished design. The patio remains visually connected to the wooded setting while gaining a solid roof above the slab.
The 3-inch × 3-inch aluminum posts provide the required structural support without creating oversized vertical elements around the perimeter. Their narrow Dark Bronze profile maintains clear views from the patio toward the yard.
3-Inch Foam-Filled Insulated Roof Panels
The main component of this Bogalusa project is the Southern Insulator Super Three roofing system. The roof was custom manufactured for the dimensions of the patio and constructed with 3-inch-thick foam-filled panels.
The insulated construction creates a more substantial overhead assembly than a basic single-skin aluminum cover. It also gives the underside of the patio roof a flat, finished appearance without exposed wood rafters or an unfinished structural ceiling.
White was selected for the roof panels. The lighter finish keeps the large overhead surface visually open and helps distribute natural daylight across the covered concrete area.

The roof dimensions were planned around the existing slab and home exterior.
White Roof Panels with Dark Bronze Framing
The two-color finish helps the large patio roof feel lighter overhead while giving its perimeter a clearly defined architectural outline.
White Roof Panels
White was used across the insulated roof surface and visible underside. The light finish brightens the covered patio and contrasts with the darker structural components.
Dark Bronze Details
Dark Bronze was used for the posts, trim, and gutters, creating one continuous finish around the edges and vertical support lines.
6-Inch Seamless Gutters with Metal Leaf Guards
The patio cover adds approximately 416 square feet of roof area, so controlling runoff was an important part of the installation. A 6-inch seamless aluminum gutter system was installed along the roof edge to collect and direct water from the new cover.
The gutters were finished in Dark Bronze to match the posts and trim. This keeps the drainage components visually integrated with the structure instead of making them appear as a separate addition.
Metal Leaf Guards were also included. The surrounding trees make leaf protection particularly relevant at this Bogalusa property. The guards help limit larger leaves and debris entering the gutter channel, although periodic inspection and cleaning are still recommended.

The finished installation combines broad roof coverage, coordinated exterior finishes, and water-management components in one custom system.
