When the Weather Limits Your Outdoor Living

Without shade, your deck or patio may sit empty during hot summer days or rainy afternoons. A lack of cover can also limit how often you use your space and how much you enjoy it. Here are some signs that a pergola or shade structure may be a good choice for your space:
  • Your deck or patio is too hot to use during midday hours
  • Outdoor furniture is fading or wearing down from sun exposure
  • Rain prevents you from entertaining or relaxing outside
  • Your space feels unfinished or lacks defined areas

How Pergolas & Shade Structures Improve Your Space

Imagine stepping into your backyard and finding the perfect balance of sunshine, shade, and comfort. We’ll design and build a pergola or shade structure that fits seamlessly with your deck, patio, and lifestyle. A pergola creates partial shade, allowing light through while giving relief from direct sun. Shade structures can be more solid, offering coverage from both sun and rain. Our team members use durable wood or composite materials and thoughtful design to create something that’s both practical and beautiful. The result is a versatile space where you can gather, relax, or enjoy a meal any time of day.

Why Waiting to Add Shade Isn’t the Best Choice

Delaying the addition of a pergola or shade structure can mean less use and enjoyment of your outdoor space. Without coverage, both you and your deck may be exposed to unnecessary wear. Over time, this can limit your investment’s value and shorten its lifespan. Risks of waiting include:

  • Uncomfortable outdoor space during hot or wet weather
  • Damage to furniture or decking from constant sun exposure
  • A backyard that doesn’t feel fully usable or inviting
  • Limited opportunities for hosting family and friends
