Start with the site
Fountain is south of Colorado Springs along the Fountain Creek corridor. When planning an outdoor upgrade, start with the opening people use most and the path through the seating area.
01
A lowered screen or a pergola post should not unexpectedly interrupt the way you carry food outside or reach the yard. Mark door swings, steps and the preferred walkway before choosing screen locations. Overhead coverage should be sized for the furniture while leaving that circulation clear.
02
If one side needs frequent access, discuss whether separate controls or a different coverage arrangement makes sense. Compare fabric for glare and view rather than assuming every screen offers the same privacy. Bring photos taken during the afternoon so the consultation can distinguish a side-sun problem from a need for a larger roof.
