• The Woodward family's backyard provides a perfect example of how a naturally beautiful space can be enhanced by a shade product. With vibrant landscaping and nearby pond, the Woodwards' outdoor environment was only lacking shelter from the sun and elements, making a pergola the perfect addition.

Products

• (1) 16'x20' Freestanding Pergola 

Challenges

• When our project managers are presented with a space like the Woodwards' their first concern is always maintaining the intrinsic appeal of the space. The goal for this project was to find a product that would compliment the tree, flowers, and shrubs of the garden area while also creating shade. Our family of pergola products offers an ideal mix of shade and sun, creating a cool, shaded environment, while still letting in natural light. Constructed from extruded aluminum, our pergolas will last for years with no maintenance are available in a wide variety of colors thanks to our in-house powder coating division.

• This recently constructed farmhouse in Southern Illinois resembles many other homes, with prominent vertical siding and an abundance of windows, but is set apart by the Orleans Canopy sheltering the main entrance. The straight lines of the canopy accentuate the facade of the home, while the support scrolls add a touch of elegance.

Products

• (1) Orleans Style Aluminum Awnings

Challenges

• The owners of this home were looking for a simple and inexpensive way to protect themselves from the elements and entered and exited their home. The Orleans Awnings provides a solution to this dilemma, with low pricing and short installation time. After taking measurements, they purchased an Orleans Awning from one of our third-vendors and installed themselves in a couple hours, ensuring they would no longer be exposed to rain, hail, or snow while checking the mail or gathering keys.

• The Peradotti's back porch provides a classic example of an Americana Outdoors' patio cover in action. The addition of our Sierra patio cover merges seamlessly with the existing design of their home and appears to have been part of original home construction. The engineering of the Sierra matches just as well as the design, with gutters and drainpipes directing water away from the Peradotti's home and patio.

Products

• (1) Sierra Patio Cover

Challenges

• The Peradotti's enjoyed cookouts, bonfires, and relaxing afternoons on their back porch, but often found themselves forced inside by excessive heat from the sun or an unexpected downpour. Our project managers have seen this situation time and time again and knew a Sierra Patio Cover could be quickly and inexpensively installed to solve the issue. All that was left to do was take measurements, pour footings, and install the structure. Soon the Peradotti's were able to enjoy their outdoor space no matter the weather, temperature, or elements.
