When summer heat or sudden showers make your backyard feel off-limits, a pergola or patio cover can bring comfort, shade, and architectural charm back into your space. At Elegance Outdoor Living, we specialize in designing and building custom pergolas and patio covers that elevate your outdoor lifestyle.
Let’s explore how these structures can transform your yard into a year-round retreat.
🌿 What’s the Difference?
- Pergolas are open-roof structures with slatted beams that provide partial shade and visual interest.
- Patio Covers are solid or semi-solid structures that offer full protection from sun and rain.
Both offer style and shelter—choosing between them depends on your lifestyle and design goals.
