A pergola in Ohio can completely change how you enjoy your backyard, and this project in Medina shows why. Our client needed a private, covered space for a hot tub while also creating an inviting spot to relax outdoors. With a custom motorized aluminum pergola, we designed a modern outdoor living area that looks great and works year-round.
This Medina homeowner is now thrilled with his deck transformation. From extra privacy to smart features like integrated lights, fan, and screens, his pergola is more than shade, it’s a space he uses every day.

Why This Pergola in Ohio Was Needed
Many backyards in Ohio are open to neighbors and the elements. That was the case here. The homeowner wanted:
- Privacy in outdoor living
- Hot tub coverage for year-round use
- A deck that felt more connected and inviting
He wanted a spot that worked during the day, evening, and all seasons. By choosing a smart pergola, he gained both comfort and control over his space.
Designing the Custom R-BLADE™ Pergola
Creating a modern pergola design means balancing style and functionality. Every detail of this Medina project was planned to fit the client’s needs.
Materials, Size, and Color Selection
The pergola stands out with its black textured aluminum frame and white matte smooth louvers, creating a sleek contrast. At 284 square feet, the structure covers the full deck and hot tub.
To extend usability, we included:
- Recessed LED lights
- A Magnatrack screen system by Progressive Screens
- A whisper-quiet motorized roof for adjustable shade
This combination makes it a true luxury pergola that blends with the home while providing comfort and protection.

Meeting the Client’s Extra Requests
Halfway through planning, the homeowner asked for a ceiling fan and more electrical outlets. Thanks to our experience with custom pergolas, we easily adapted the design.
The result? Evenings on the deck are now cooler, well-lit, and practical for hosting friends. The client was especially excited that the fan and lights make the pergola usable long after the sun sets.

Now, the deck is:
- Comfortable in every season
- A private escape from neighbors

From quiet evenings soaking in the hot tub to weekend hangouts with friends, the pergola makes the deck the heart of the home.
