Does Alumawood look like real wood?

Often Alumawood™ shade structures are mistaken for real wood covers.  Here is a excerpt from a recent email we received.                                                                                                                                                                                                                ” my wife discovered your product some time ago.   I confess initial skepticism for the look but did the research for her anyway.  at a relative’s home recently i commented about the posts for the patio cover touching the ground and the problem with termites. He corrected me that termites don’t eat aluminum.  the look was not what I expected.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Alumawood™ has an embossed wood grain texture stamped into the aluminum.  The paint finish is a weather-resistant, anticorrosive Aluma-Shield silicon polyester paint finish that withstands the harshest conditions, including sun, rain, wind, and extreme temperatures. This paint system was formulated for Amerimax.
