Creating a comfortable outdoor space often starts with one essential element: shade. Whether you're planning a relaxing reading nook, an outdoor kitchen, or a dining area, protecting yourself from the sun is key to enjoying your backyard year-round.
But should you go with a pergola or a patio cover? At Elegance Outdoor Living, we build both—and we’re here to help you decide which option is best for your home, style, and lifestyle.
A pergola is a freestanding or attached outdoor structure with an open-roof design, often featuring slatted beams. It’s perfect for creating a stylish, partially shaded area that still allows some sunlight and breeze to pass through.
Pergola Perks:
Pergolas are especially popular for enhancing decks, garden walkways, or dining patios.
A patio cover is a solid or semi-solid structure that attaches directly to your home, offering complete shade and protection from rain. It transforms a backyard patio into an outdoor extension of your living room.
Patio Cover Benefits:
Patio covers are ideal for homeowners who want maximum use and weather protection.
We specialize in custom-built pergolas and patio covers using quality materials and expert craftsmanship. Whether you're creating a cozy shaded space or a full outdoor living area, we bring your vision to life with precision, professionalism, and beauty.
We also offer complete packages that pair your shade solution with decks, firepits, kitchens, and landscaping for a cohesive and inviting backyard transformation.
