Open Top & Louvered Patio Cover Design & Build
Creating shade and changing outdoor life is a way of life for us.
What is an Open Top & Louvered Patio Cover?
A structure characterized by its roof that has adjustable slats or louvers, allowing control over sunlight and ventilation in the covered outdoor area.
Schedule FREE ConsultationAn open top patio cover - often referred to as a pergola - can offer shade and high-design at a lower price point than a traditional patio cover. A louvered structure can offer the best of both worlds as it can allow a pergola to close with the push of a button. Choosing an open-top patio cover in Texas allows for an ideal blend of outdoor and indoor living, providing shade while still allowing plenty of natural light and airflow.
