Tracee and Daniel were eager to create a custom outdoor living space in their backyard. Their home backs up to open canals, which created a strong wind tunnel and attracted large numbers of mosquitoes. With no back fences and houses built closely together, there was little privacy, making it far from the outdoor living and design-driven oasis they envisioned. They had previously installed a wooden pergola over their hot tub, but over time, the wood began to deteriorate. The fabric shades they added were no match for the wind and eventually tore apart, further dashing their hopes for a durable custom outdoor living space.
To address these challenges, we installed a 13' x 8' wall-mounted aluminum pergola. It was securely anchored to their home and designed to withstand high winds. We partnered with EZ Fold Screens LLC to install screen doors on the sides, creating a bug-free environment that still allows for airflow. A motorized roller shade was added to the front, allowing them to control sunlight and privacy. The slightly opaque shade material makes it harder for others to see inside, helping them feel more comfortable in their space. Their new setup is built to last and provides them with a peaceful, functional outdoor area.

The open canal creates a “natural wind tunnel,” subjecting the courtyard to persistent strong winds.
Swarms of mosquitoes invade the courtyard, disrupting leisurely moments and posing health risks through disease-carrying bites.
No backyard fence and dense housing leave outdoor spaces with zero privacy.
The wooden gazebo experienced wood rot in strong winds and humid conditions, while the fabric tore in gusts, leading to a decline in structural stability.
The durable wall-mounted aluminum pergola replaces the fragile wooden structure, withstanding canal winds.
Motorized roller shades offfer adjustable privacy, blocking neighbors' view and completely resolving visibility concerns.
