The Basics

The perfect harmony of Skyview solutions, wrapped up in 500 square feet of outdoor living bliss.

What was the vision?

Combine the very best in luxury outdoor living to craft a tranquil space for the family to gather and enjoy.

Tired of hauling out a massive umbrella every season, one that often needed to be repaired or replaced, the Genthe family was looking for a permanent solution to provide comforting shade and a place for the family to connect. The combination of a TimberTech PVC deck, a StruXure louvered pergola, and a MagnaTrack solar screen offered the quality the family was looking for and the functionality they craved.
