Backyard Lounge Upgrade for Sharon

Project Overview

Project Name

Backyard Lounge

Location

Cypress, TX

Project Type

Residential

Sharon wanted to make better use of her backyard, but the space was completely open and lacked shade. When hosting friends and family, there wasn’t a comfortable spot to relax without being exposed to the heat.

We installed a 10x12 motorized aluminum pergola with a gray frame and white louvers to give her flexible shade and protection. She added a gas firepit beneath for warmth during cooler nights, and built-in lighting allows her to enjoy the space well into the evening. What was once an unused corner of her yard is now a functional, comfortable lounge area for both gatherings and quiet moments.

Client Pain Point

⚠️Impact of Weather Changes

The open backyard, lacking shelter, was vulnerable to rain or snow. Brief showers ended gatherings; snow made it unusable for weeks, limiting year-round use.

⚠️Poor Evening and Low-Light Use

Without built-in lighting, the backyard became pitch-dark after sunset, making it unsafe and unwelcoming for evening use. Hosting or relaxing after dark was impossible, cutting off a key window of potential enjoyment.

⚠️Damage due to High Temperatures

Direct sunlight faded/warped furniture (too hot to touch) and scorched plants. This added upkeep (replacing items) and made the space unkempt, unwelcoming.

☀️Sun Damage Protection

The pergola provides effective protection from direct sunlight, thus preventing outdoor furniture from fading, warping, or overheating, while protecting plants from the sun, reducing maintenance, and keeping the space neat and inviting.

“Farewell to scorching sun and dark, unused evenings—this pergola with adjustable louvers and built-in lights has turned my backyard into a daily retreat. Whether I’m sipping coffee in the shade or hosting friends by firelight, it’s the most transformative upgrade I could’ve asked for.”—— Sharon
