Santos' Backyard Paradise

Santos' Backyard Paradise

Project Overview

Project Name

Backyard Paradise

Location

Houston, TX

Project Type

Residential

Santos’ backyard was a “potential - rich but underused space.” Extreme sun made midday hangs unbearable, rain turned the area into a “muddy mess” for days, and the lack of a private, cozy zone meant no real “resort - like escape” at home.

We installed a 13ft.×10ft. solar - powered aluminum pergola with a gray frame and white louvers. Equipped with motorized adjustable louvers, built - in ceiling fans, LED lights, and a facade roller shade, it transformed the backyard into an all - weather, private paradise.

Now, Santos enjoys sun - filtered mornings, rain - proof afternoon lounges, and starlit evenings with friends—turning a neglected space into his go - to “backyard resort,” perfectly blending functionality and style with his home’s aesthetic.

Client Pain Point

Santos' Backyard Paradise - Client Pain Point

⚠️Extreme heat and intense sunlight

Santos’ backyard was a “midday furnace”—scorching sun made lunchtime relaxation impossible, and even reading a book outside felt like “baking in an oven.” The space sat empty for hours daily, wasting the chance for a peaceful outdoor retreat.

⚠️Rain Ruined Relaxation, Muddy Mess

Rain turned the backyard into a “soggy nightmare”—cushions got soaked, the patio stayed muddy for days, and any plan for an afternoon lounge was “washed away.” Santos avoided the space after rain, missing out on enjoying his backyard.

⚠️No Private Retreat

Without privacy features, Santos’ backyard felt “too open”—neighbors’ noises and prying eyes made it hard to relax. Even quiet moments felt “on display,” and the idea of a private, intimate backyard resort seemed impossible.

☀️All-weather pavilion

Sola’s 13ft.x10ft. pergola acts as a “sun - smart shield.” Motorized louvers adjust with a remote—open for gentle morning light, close tight to block harsh midday sun. Now, Santos has a shaded spot for lunch, a breezy area for afternoon naps, turning the backyard into a daily “resort - style” retreat.

🌧️Rainproof Pergola Stops Storms, Drains Easy

Sola’s pergola seals tight against storms. Louvers lock out rain, drains funnel water through posts. Santos hosts rainy day hangs with no mess.

🏡Private Pergola Oasis, Intimate & Quiet

With the facade roller shade and adjustable louvers, the pergola becomes a “private escape.” Close the shade for intimate dinners or solo reading, blocking neighbors’ views and noises. Open it up for larger gatherings—now, Santos’ backyard is a quiet, private resort for both alone time and social fun.

“Man, my backyard used to be a total dud—too hot, got ruined by rain, and felt like everyone was watching. Then Sola’s pergola came in! The remote - controlled louvers? Game - changer. Rain or shine, I can kick back—no more soggy messes. Solar fans keep it cool on scorchers, lights make nights vibe. Now it’s my ‘backyard resort’—friends crash here, we grill, chill, and I actually use the space.” —— Santos

Details to Impress Client

✅Solar-Powered Green Living, Eco-Friendly Comfort

Built-in LED lights and fans run entirely on solar power—no grid electricity needed. By day, the sun charges the system; by night, soft lighting and cool breezes come with zero carbon footprint.

✅Louver Precision, Instant Weather Control

Motorized louvers respond in seconds—Santos clicks a remote to close for rain, open for sun, or tilt for breezes. No manual work, no waiting.

✅Stylish Design, Backyard Upgrade

The gray frame and white shutters of the pavilion blend seamlessly with Santos' residence—there is no sense of incongruity, only a refined visual effect that organically connects the entire courtyard, making the entire space appear carefully designed.

More Outdoor Days, Less Indoor Time

Santos used to stay cooped up inside—now, he starts mornings with coffee under the pergola, reads in the shade, and unwinds outdoors. Fresh air, soft breezes, and zero stress—he “lives outside now,” way more relaxed than stuck indoors.
