The existing patio saw heavy sun exposure, limiting how often the space could realistically be used. The solution was a straightforward covered porch—designed to provide consistent shade while also protecting from rain.

Delivered through a design-build approach, the structure was integrated directly with the home, keeping the layout simple and the construction efficient.

• Reduce direct sun exposure in the backyard seating area
• Add a covered porch for shade and weather protection
• Create a more usable outdoor space for daily use
• Keep the design clean, simple, and cost-effective

This covered porch in Fergus turns an overly exposed patio into a functional outdoor space that can be used consistently throughout the day.
