A better kind of shade.
This Temperance, Michigan project features a custom freestanding StruXure Pan 6 pergola designed to create a comfortable, shaded retreat right next to the pool. After dealing with the limitations of a lower-quality kit gazebo, the homeowner was ready for something more permanent and better built. With a solid roof system and MagnaTrack screens on all four sides, the space now provides consistent shade, protection from the elements, and a much more refined outdoor living experience. What was once a temporary setup has been transformed into a durable, high-quality structure that can be enjoyed every day.
A freestanding poolside retreat built for comfort and durability.
This project features a custom StruXure Pan 6 pergola with a fixed roof, paired with MagnaTrack screens on all four sides. The freestanding structure creates a dedicated outdoor living space near the pool, offering consistent shade, protection from sun and wind, and a more permanent, high-quality alternative to a traditional gazebo.
Replace a temporary solution with something built to last.
The homeowner had been using a freestanding gazebo, but it lacked the durability and quality she was looking for. She wanted a permanent structure that would provide reliable shade near the pool while feeling more substantial and visually aligned with the rest of the backyard. The goal was to create a space where friends and family could gather comfortably without worrying about sun exposure or seasonal wear and tear.
“We had a gazebo before, but it just didn’t hold up the way we wanted. We were looking for something more permanent that would give us shade by the pool and feel like a real part of the backyard.”
— Dawn Debbe, Homeowner

StruXure Pergolas
This project features a custom StruXure Pan 6 pergola with a fixed, insulated roof system designed for maximum shade and durability. Unlike a traditional louvered system, the solid roof provides consistent protection from the sun and elements, making it ideal for a dedicated lounge space. Paired with MagnaTrack screens on all sides, the structure offers added comfort, privacy, and protection from wind and insects.
MagnaTrack Screens
This project also features MagnaTrack solar screens on all four sides of the pergola, creating a fully enclosed and highly functional outdoor space. The screens provide protection from sun, wind, and insects while maintaining airflow and visibility. Together with the solid roof system, they transform the structure into a comfortable, usable environment throughout the day, especially in a poolside setting where shade and protection are essential.
“What an upgrade. The structure feels substantial, performs better, and completely changes how the space can be used.”
— Taylor Calero, Skyview Detroit President
The biggest difference in this project is how dependable the space has become. With a solid roof and full enclosure from the screens, the homeowners now have a shaded, comfortable environment they can use throughout the day. It’s no longer a seasonal or weather-dependent setup, it’s a true extension of their outdoor living space.
“I love Skyview Detroit.”
— Dawn Debbe, Homeowner
