How We Custom Design for You & Your Home
We Design Outdoor Spaces That Truly Work for Your Home
At Bluebonnet Patio Covers, we don’t start with products — we start with how you want to live outdoors. Every patio cover, screen system, deck, and outdoor kitchen we design is custom-planned to enhance both the beauty and functionality of your home.
Here are the key factors our designers consider during every on-site consultation.
1. How You Plan to Use Your Outdoor Space
Your lifestyle drives the design.
We take time to understand:
- How often you use your outdoor space
- Whether it’s for entertaining, relaxing, family time, or all of the above
- How many people typically gather there
- The needs of kids, pets, or multigenerational families
Why it matters:
The right layout depends on how you’ll actually use the space — from lounging and dining to cooking and entertaining.2. Sun, Heat & Weather Conditions
Comfort is everything in Texas.
We carefully evaluate:
- Sun exposure throughout the day
- Heat, airflow, and shade needs
- Rain and drainage patterns
- Seasonal comfort goals
Why it matters:
This helps us recommend the right combination of patio cover styles, screen systems, roof designs, and comfort features so you can enjoy your space year-round.
3. Your Home’s Architecture & Aesthetic
The best outdoor spaces look like they were always part of the home.
We consider:
- Rooflines, pitches, and existing structures
- Materials, colors, and finishes
- Landscaping and surrounding views
- Sightlines from interior living areas
Why it matters:
A well-integrated design enhances curb appeal and increases the overall value of your home.
4. Layout, Flow & Functional Zones
Great outdoor spaces feel effortless to use.
We plan:
- Where cooking, dining, and relaxing happen
- How people move through the space
- What areas should be covered, screened, or open-air
- How the design connects to doors, windows, and the backyard
Why it matters:
Thoughtful layout ensures your outdoor space feels open, intuitive, and comfortable — never cramped or awkward.
5. Structural & Site Considerations
Every home and yard is different.
Our designers evaluate:
- Existing patios, slabs, or decks
- Elevation changes and drainage
- Structural attachment points
Electrical, gas, and water access
Why it matters:
Designing within the realities of your home ensures a smooth build process and a structure that lasts.
6. Budget & Smart Planning
We help you get the most value from your investment.
We discuss:
- Your priorities and must-haves
- Optional features that can be added later
- Phased designs that allow for future expansion
- Long-term durability and ROI
Why it matters:
This helps us recommend the right combination of patio cover styles, screen systems, roof designs, and comfort features so you can enjoy your space year-round.
7. Permits, Codes & Long-Term Durability
Peace of mind is part of every project.
We help with:
- Local permitting and HOA requirements
- Structural and wind-load compliance
- Electrical and safety considerations
- Materials designed for Texas conditions
Why it matters:
Your outdoor space should be as safe and durable as it is beautiful.
