    About this backyard steel pavilion

    This backyard steel pavilion in West San Antonio was built with two tiers at the request of the customer. The top tier reaches 16′ tall at the peak with the eaves of the main pavilion body at 8′ tall. The barnyard red Metal R-Panels are a custom feature that was requested by the customer.

    As you can see in the above photos, not only do I stand by my work, I’ll stand on it as well!

    Located in the western area of San Antonio, this pavilion will be standing for many years to come, providing a fun place for family gatherings come rain or shine! A cover like can be used for gatherings and become the focal part of any family get-togethers!

    Why a steel pavilion suits Texas yards

    A pavilion turns an open stretch of lawn into a shaded spot for cookouts, birthdays and weekend get-togethers. In San Antonio, where summer sun and heat can make an uncovered yard hard to use, a solid roof gives the family somewhere comfortable to gather. Taller eaves and a raised upper tier, like the 16′ peak on this build, also let warm air rise and move out instead of settling over the people underneath.

    An all steel frame is a sensible match for local weather. Steel does not rot or attract the pests that can trouble wood, and metal R-panels shed rain quickly. A properly built post and beam frame that is anchored well is also what helps a pavilion stay put when storm winds blow through. The barnyard red panels on this one show that a steel roof can be a design feature as well as a practical one.

    About this sunburst patio cover Universal City project

    Sunburst patio cover Universal City: a lean-to all steel awning custom designed by the customer and I. The patio cover is simple, yet rugged and beautiful and will be sure to last for many years. This patio cover measured 16’x18′ and at it’s peak is 15′ tall. The eaves of the patio cover were at 7′. The patio cover was attached to the home and sealed to prevent rain runoff from hitting the patio. The frame was painted and color matched to the home.

    Why a lean-to steel patio cover works

    A lean-to cover is attached to the house on one side, which makes it an easy way to add shade to a patio that is already part of your daily routine. The roof rises from the 7′ eaves to the 15′ peak, and that height gives the space an open, airy feel instead of a low ceiling over your head. Sealing the cover where it meets the home, as was done here, helps keep rain runoff from hitting the patio below.

    Steel suits the climate in our area. It stands up to strong Texas sun, does not rot, and needs little upkeep over the years. A sturdy post and beam frame, built and installed correctly, is also what helps a cover handle the wind that comes with spring and summer storms. Painting the frame to match the house, as was done on this project, helps the cover look like part of the original home. Our FAQ explains whether we can paint the structure to match your house.
