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.
