Electrical Options for Your Outdoor Living Space

With a custom-built structure, you can enjoy the same electrical conveniences outdoors as you do inside your home. Our team works closely with you to design a patio cover or pergola that includes the lighting, outlets, and comfort features you want — all installed safely and cleanly.

Outdoor Electrical Outlets

Outdoor outlets add convenience and flexibility to your patio or sunroom.

• Outlets can be installed in the ceiling, on existing walls, or built into new posts.
• Perfect for powering electric grills, TVs, speakers, chargers, and fans.
• Weatherproof outlet covers help protect against rain, dirt, and moisture, especially around pools or exposed areas.

Our aluminum patio covers are designed with integrated channels that allow for clean, hidden wiring for outlets and lighting, maintaining a professional look.

Ceiling Fans for Outdoor Comfort

Ceiling fans are one of the most popular upgrades for Texas homeowners.

• Improve airflow during the intense Central Texas heat.
• Install a single fan or multiple fans depending on patio size.
• Create a more relaxing, comfortable outdoor environment.
• Help reduce mosquitoes and flying pests.

Even with an open-roof design, our custom pergolas can be equipped with fan beams to support heavy-duty outdoor ceiling fans.
