don’t trash them. call up the city and see if you can take the aluminum to the recycling center. you can also put an ad on craigslist; it’s free.

2Question : I was wondering a safe way to clean aluminum awnings on the exterior of my home and are they paintable?
After safely cleaning (by safely I mean I have shrubbery near that I do not want to kill with chemicals) How do I prep them for a coat of paint to ensure it does not peel? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There are treated/coated deck/outdoor screws, that is what I would use. You will not get the staining from them. The cost will be a bit more, but really, not enough to make the difference. Spend the extra 50 bucks, and demand quality.

Labor cost aluminum fence installation?
0Question : Labor cost aluminum fence installation?
We are fencing our backyard that is about 210 feet total with one gate and 3 corners.
We want to use aluminum because of how it looks and the low maintenance. The ground is pretty flat, and there are a few trees and bushes along the lot line, so they will have to deal with that, but otherwise the terrain is good.

Answer by Wingman
Bearsma, it’s been like three days since you posted your question, so I’ll give it a shot. A lot of people are hesitant to give you a cost assessment because, really, the cost of labor greatly varies by location.
What you really need to do is to have a local fence contractor provide you with the local cost of this project. To your advantage, there are plenty of fence contractors seeking to give free estimates with no obligation, and taking advantage of this is the consumer-smart way to go about finding an accurate answer to your question. It’s important that you get a local estimate and not rely on guesses found here on Yah, as a lot of factors really bear on the cost of such a project, as noted.
So, to help you out, here is a great link to a handyman site that offers free very resourceful information to assist you in determining the cost of your project, and, of course, finding a local fence contractor with intention of getting a good deal for you:

Online sources, as noted. Being informed is critical in making right deicisions; I have found the Internet helps in this area. Some are not as effective in navigating the Internet to get the information they need, so with the intention of helping, I rely on my knowledge, including from my development of sites, such as the one cited above, to help those who need it, hoping they will, in turn, help others.
Can someone offer their experience, bad or good with patio awnings, retractable cloth or fixed aluminum?
2Question : Can someone offer their experience, bad or good with patio awnings, retractable cloth or fixed aluminum?
I currently have a wood awning covering my 12×16 patio and I’m stuck trying to decide whether to repair it, installing a new roof and updating the wood to pressure treated wood. There is some water damage and I have problems with carpenter bees nesting in the wood.
Which solution would be best, update and fix the existing wood awning, purchase a cloth retractable or purchase an aluminum awning? The difference in cost for each is within a couple of hundred dollars.

Answer by JeffAV
I prefer the cloth type, with good care they last a long time, are quiet in rain storms, and to me are better looking and offer a softer look, and are available in many colors. It may be cheaper for you to repair your current one but if you are looking for a new look I’d get the canvas cloth awning, this would eliminate the bees also

Answer by ray of sunshine
you’ll have to use something like a wire brush, not too sharp, to get off the paint that may be peeling. Use a metal primer, and then paint that is made for metal. Will be doing this to my house soon too..

Oh, I hate that when that happens. I use to take pliers and slowly try to flatten the blind back out but I could never get it to be 100% again.
