Lower temperatures that come with Midwestern fall and winter tend to keep everyone indoors, but you don’t have to live in dread over fall. Thanks to modern technology and some timeless classics, there are so many ways to take advantage of the outdoors all season long. Don’t let cabin fever take over too soon. Upgrade your backyard features and enjoy being outside even when the weather turns chilly.

Fire Features

Perfect for gathering around and telling ghost stories, fire elements are a great way to keep you warm, create ambiance, and even roast a marshmallow or hot dog. Embrace an organic, rustic aesthetic with a traditional paver firepit or elevate your space with a more modernized fire table. Want a bit of both? Exterior fireplaces can combine the grounded feel of a traditional firepit with the sleek style of a table version. Choose natural stone, earthy tones, and firewood or lava rock to echo the kind of firepit atmosphere you desire. Go bolder with stark neutrals, smooth pavers, and fire balls or fire glass for a contemporary look.
 

StruXure

The most versatile feature you can add to your backyard is a StruXure pergola. These motorized pergolas are built to withstand all climates and provide comfort during the summer and into late fall/early winter. Flexible in design, these structures can be a sanctuary for basking in the sunlight or escaping from the heat. Motorized screens integrated into the pergola provide compact style while also keeping you bug-free with just a push of a button. Include a TV wall under your StruXure to watch football in the crisp autumn air then click on your heaters as the cold winds blow. Just like the screens, optional heaters can be installed directly into the StruXure for a seamless design and maximum warmth.

We have fully customizable fire features and StruXures fashioned with screens or warming elements that allow you to maximize your backyard time.
