Summer
will begin in 129 days, but who’s counting? While the ground is covered in snow
and ice and the only thing on our mind is keeping warm, we have our sights on
summer and while warmth is months away, you should be thinking about your
outdoor living space well before then. Typically, the dedicated independently
owned Four Seasons Sunrooms & Windows dealers nationwide become busy as
soon as the beginning of March and the outdoor living building season is in
full gear by April. To get first on the list and have your outdoor living space
ready just in time for summer and before your neighbors, be sure you contact
your local dealer today. Below are some of our favorite Pergola designs to
inspire the outdoor living space of your dreams.
Hanging Hammocks
This
wheat-toned pergola with miter end caps gives this tropical backyard space a
very modern feel. With stoned stairs leading up to an inviting hammock, this
pergola is the perfect space to kick back and relax with your favorite book.
The tremendous flexibility of our Elitewood Ultra Series pergolas lets you
select the amount of shade your pergola will provide, from total 40% to 60%
total shade. You can even combine styles to give you a pergola that will
provide full protection from rain or sun! With a traditional style open-lattice
cover, you can give the space a cooling ventilation effect within the living
area, while keeping the blaring sun out.
Fire Pits and Places
One
of the hottest colors of 2019 for outdoor living solutions will be the
dark-toned aluminum ones. Our favorite is this brown patio cover with corbel
end caps. This pergola, providing 60% shade, allows just enough light in. What
makes our Ultra Series pergolas different from other aluminum patio products is
our multi-step coating system that chemically cleans the aluminum sheet and is
then followed by a baked-on primer and a finishing coat of an ultra-tough
carbon/fluoride bond. This brings our Ultra Series pergola performance ratings
to “EXCELLENT” wen it comes to stain and chemical resistance, exterior
durability, salt spray resistant, fade and color resistant, and gloss
retention. But what makes this particular pergola special is the add on of a
custom-made outdoor fireplace. During those, dare we say it, COLD summer
nights, this fireplace will bring in just enough warmth to allow the party to
continue well into the night.
CURTAINS AND COMBINATION
COVERS
Use
your imagination to design a combination pergola/patio cover featuring both
open style and solid style sections. This feature will allow you to enjoy your
outdoor living space on the hottest days of the summer as well as the coolest
(and every day in between). With a combination pergola/patio cover, you can
virtually custom design your structure to meet your every need for a total
outdoor living experience. What makes this space stand out to us is the use of
curtains. Utilizing curtains to both close out sunshine and wind, as well as
create an immediate sense of privacy will bring a totally different scene to
your outdoor space when YOU want.
