Before & after
From an Exposed Patio to Adjustable Outdoor Shade
The original patio had open sky above the concrete slab and strong sun near the dark-framed glass doors. The finished two-post structure creates a defined outdoor room without closing off the yard.
Adjustable shade and cleaner architecture
The black frame ties into the home’s windows, doors and gutters while the louvers control sun and airflow.
Why this layout worked
A Wall-Mounted Pergola That Feels Connected to the Home
One side of the 10-by-13-foot roof connects to the house, while two 8-foot posts support the outer edge. That keeps the footprint open, preserves the view across the patio and creates an easy transition between the indoor room and the backyard.
- Black finish coordinates with the existing dark doors, windows and gutters.
- Adjustable louvers fine-tune sunlight, shade and airflow throughout the day.
- Overhead coverage helps reduce direct sun near the south-facing glass doors.
- Integrated drainage avoids visible exterior downspouts.
Built-in features
Motorized Louvers, LED Lighting and Concealed Drainage
The project combines day-to-day shade control with the details that make a patio easier to use after sunset and during ordinary rain.
Any-angle roof control
The remote-controlled louvers can stop between fully open and fully closed, so the homeowner can tune shade and airflow.
Integrated LED lighting
Remote-controlled lights run around the roof perimeter and create even illumination after sunset.
Concealed water path
Perimeter gutters direct water into downspouts hidden inside the support posts for a cleaner finished look.
Architectural fit
The black aluminum structure visually connects with the home’s dark-framed glass doors, windows and gutters.

Installation
Two Installers, Approximately Seven Hours
The homeowner prepared the concrete patio and support areas before the crew arrived. During installation, the team worked through site-specific conditions at the prepared bases and the house connection, completed the structure on the scheduled day and function-tested the roof and lighting using an available outlet.
Any permanent connection to the home’s main electrical system, when needed, is handled separately by the homeowner’s licensed electrician.
What the crew completed
- Wall-mounted frame and two outer support posts
- Motorized adjustable louvered roof
- Integrated perimeter LED lighting
- Gutters and concealed post drainage
- Operational testing of the motor and lights
