It’s coming together 😎 #outdoorliving
What happens here
With the main structure in place, focus on creating the aesthetic and functional focal points of the space. This involves constructing a feature wall, typically clad in stone veneer, to house an outdoor television. Ensure the wall is structurally sound and properly waterproofed before applying veneer. Simultaneously, the pergola ceiling is finished with decorative elements, such as precisely cut and installed wood slats, and integrated with lighting fixtures (e.g., recessed LEDs) and outdoor-rated ceiling fans for comfort and ambiance. All electrical connections for these fixtures must be properly made, weatherproofed, and sealed to protect against outdoor elements.
Goal: Create visual interest and functional elements on walls and ceiling
