As fall settles over Metro Atlanta, the sun sits noticeably lower in the sky and the shadows across your backyard stretch in new directions. It's a small seasonal shift, but it's one of the most useful things to notice if you're thinking about a sunroom, porch, or pergola.
The spots that get direct sun on a fall or winter afternoon are the ones that will warm a sunroom naturally when you want it most. The spots that bake under summer sun but sit in shade now show where shade structures pay off, and where a glass room might run hot in July. Mature trees, neighboring homes, and rooflines all cast different shadows this time of year than they did in June.
Try taking a few photos of your backyard at the same time on a sunny afternoon over the next few weeks. When you sit down with our design team, those photos help us place windows, roof panels, and shade where they'll do the most good. It's an easy bit of homework that leads to a better space.

A real photo of a finished Builders America sunroom or pergola with long, low afternoon sunlight streaming in, or a backyard shot with long fall shadows across a deck. Authentic project photos are always preferred over stock images. No Google Drive image folder is set up yet, so source from the Builders America portfolio (buildersamerica.com/projects) or request a photo from the client. Confirm homeowner approval for photos of a private residence.
