Two decades with no shade. Solved.

Austin Yacht Club, Lake Travis. Custom freestanding shade structure creating a comfortable seating area overlooking the pool and lake. Photographed after completion.

The challenge

Twenty years without a place to cool off.

Members wanted somewhere comfortable to cool off and watch the water, and the pool area gave them nowhere to do it.

The response

The pool finally became somewhere to stay.

We built a freestanding structure that created a comfortable seating area along the shallow end, ideal for parents watching their kids in the water. Years later it still looks great with zero maintenance.
