Shade comes first
Long, hot summers make uncovered concrete patios hard to enjoy in the afternoon. Solid-roof structures block direct sun; pergolas filter it.

Outdoor Living in Abilene
Planning for West Texas.
A few practical things worth considering before you choose a project.
Think about the afternoon sun
West-facing yards take the most heat. Where the sun sits at 5 p.m. often decides where a cover or pergola should go.
Plan for wind and storms
Spring winds and occasional hail are part of life here. Ask us about anchoring options and roofing materials for your home.
Cook outside, keep the house cool
An outdoor kitchen keeps cooking heat out of the house — and works best with shade over the grill.
Rescue the underused yard
Many backyards sit empty most of the year. A defined space — a deck, covered patio, or pergola — gives people a reason to be out there.
Check permits early
Roofed structures and raised decks often need permits and HOA approval. Build that time into your plans.
