Shade Is Not Optional in North Texas
North Texas summers regularly reach 100°F. A pool without shade creates a beautiful environment you can't actually use during the hottest hours of the day. Pergolas, covered patios, shade sails, and cabanas transform a summer-only pool into a year-round outdoor living space.
Mike designs shade structure placement as part of the pool design — not as an afterthought. The right shade structure in the right location makes the difference between a pool you visit and a backyard you live in.
- Pergola over dining/kitchen zone provides functional shade without enclosing the space
- Covered patio attached to house creates seamless indoor-outdoor transition
- Pool cabana provides shade, storage, and a dressing area
- Shade sails offer flexible, cost-effective sun protection
- HOA guidelines may affect shade structure height and placement
- Mike designs shade positioning to maximize shade during peak afternoon hours
