What we heard
The first design was too much structure. One big pergola that took over the yard and blocked the view.Your feedback on the original layout
So we started over.
Instead of one large structure, we broke the design into three separate pergolas. Each one is sized for a single job and placed where it does that job best.
You’re not meant to build all three. Look at each one, decide which fits the way you use the backyard, and choose one or two. Every option stands on its own.
The options 
One backyard, three ideas.
Option 01
The Outdoor Kitchen
Shade and rain cover over the grill island and the dining tables.

The Outdoor Kitchen
A freestanding louvered pergola over the grill island and both dining tables.
Open the louvers for daylight and to let the grill smoke out. Close them when the afternoon storm rolls in and dinner carries on. The slatted privacy wall behind the island screens the view without closing the space in.
- CoversOutdoor kitchen and two dining tables
- RoofMotorized louvers that open for sun and close for rain
- WallsSlatted privacy wall along the back
- ComfortCeiling fan under the roof
1 / 3Option 02 · Fireplace Lounge
A room built around the fire.
Keep scrolling to watch it go up.Option 02
The Fireplace Lounge
A lounge enclosed on three sides, with the fireplace and TV wall as the focal point.
Slatted walls wrap the sides and back, so it feels like a room without blocking the breeze. The louvered roof opens up on clear nights and closes when it rains. It works for a movie night, a game, or sitting by the fire after dinner.
- CoversLounge seating facing the fireplace and TV wall
- RoofMotorized louvers that open for sun and close for rain
- WallsSlatted privacy walls on three sides
- ComfortCeiling fan and recessed lighting
1 / 3Option 03 · Poolside Cabana
A cabana on the far side of the pool.
Keep scrolling to watch it go up.Option 03
The Poolside Cabana
A pergola on the other end of the pool. It wasn’t in the original plan, and we think it’s worth a look.
It gives you shade over the loungers, a privacy wall on one side, and curtains you can tie back or let down. A small cabinet inside gives you storage. From the house it reads as a cabana, but it’s a full louvered pergola underneath.
- CoversPool loungers on the far end of the pool
- RoofMotorized louvers that open for sun and close for rain
- WallsSlatted privacy wall on one side, curtains on the front
- ExtrasSmall storage cabinet and a ceiling fan

What each option gives you.
