Description: Patio Shade
Detail: This is a simple, yet attractive patio trellis that attaches to the house on one side and is held up by posts on the other. It is cost effective, yet adds a definition to the patio space at the back of the house. The angle of the slats that create the lattice allows more sun to come through in the winter when the sun has a lower path of travel, yet blocks more sun in the summer when it's angle is the highest.

Description: Arbor
Detail: This was an gazebo built to shade and define an area for a hot tube next to the pool. Due to the necessary layout of the posts, large beams and metal brackets were used to span the unusual shape. A two-tiered system was used to add dimension to the style and to achieve full shade coverage.

Description: Arbor
Detail: This is an arbor that was constructed to shade a koi pond. Because of the irregular shape of the pond, the support posts need to be situated in odd locations. In order to tie all the posts together, multiple layers of beams/lattice were used in order to achieve full shade coverage. This not only solved the problem of the post layout, but added a unique and impressive look to the shade.

Description: Gazebo & Outdoor Kitchen
Detail: This was an poolside gazebo that included a fireplace/pizza oven, outdoor kitchen & barbeque, and a sitting bar. It was framed using heavy, rough-sawn beams and thick metal brackets. The ceiling is tongue and groove. The roofing is tile to match the existing residence. New concrete was poured around the pool and existing home's patio. The pool fence was also altered to accomodate the gazebo structure. All of these elements combine to create a warm, inviting, and practical area to lounge by the poolside.
