Make the backyard comfortable longer
Patios, Pergolas & Shade Structures
Patios and shade structures that give the backyard rhythm, relief from the sun, and a stronger connection to the home.
Shade changes how often a Texas backyard gets used. A well-placed covered area or pergola can make room for dining, conversation, cooking, and quiet time while giving the overall pool environment a clearer structure.
Reef Pools and Spas plans these spaces around solar exposure, views, rooflines, doors, pool circulation, and the activities you want to support. The result should feel connected to the home rather than set down in the yard as an afterthought.
- More comfortable outdoor use during hot, bright months
- Defined zones for dining, lounging, and conversation
- Improved visual connection between the home and pool
- Lighting, fans, ceilings, and materials planned as one structure

Questions
Helpful answers before you begin.
Should shade be planned before the pool?
Ideally, the pool and shade strategy are considered together. This helps protect views, avoid circulation conflicts, and coordinate foundations, utilities, and decking.
Can a pergola include fans and lighting?
Depending on the structure and electrical plan, fans, lighting, and outlets can be considered. These needs should be identified before construction.
Can you extend an existing patio?
Possibly. Existing conditions, drainage, elevations, materials, and structure need to be reviewed to determine the right approach.
