Residential: Creating Shade For South Florida Horses

Last Updated on July 8, 2024

South Florida is like living in paradise with beautiful sunny weather year-round. However, the weather in the Sunshine State can be a disadvantage for horse owners who need a spacious outdoor area that can work for both people and animals. It is crucial for them to protect their horses from the unpredictable Florida weather.

This residential project highlights the story of horse owners in South Florida who needed a custom 1,220-square-foot covered space for their animals. Their horses require special care and supervision, so they were looking for an alternative to a classic run-in shed that would provide their horses a space to relax and enjoy the outdoors, regardless of the weather, while staying covered when accessing the washroom located on the ground floor of the house.

Client Requirements: An alternative To A Horse Loafing Shed

The client had only one requirement: the product had to be an architectural structure that would provide shade and shelter for the horses while seamlessly completing the house’s architectural design. The R-SHADE™ pergola was the perfect option because of its beautiful and functional design. After closely working with the client, Azenco Outdoor was able to bring to life a design that surpassed the client’s expectations.
