Get Better Outdoor Living in Minneapolis, MN

If you’ve ever been there, you know that Minneapolis knows how to do the outdoors. Summers are packed with patio season, autumns are dressed in a colorful landscape, and even when the temperatures drop, people find a way to keep enjoying their outdoor living spaces. That’s where we come in!

At Innov8 Outdoors, our goal is to improve outdoor living in Minneapolis. We help home and business owners elevate their outdoor areas with upgrades like high-quality pergolas, motorized screens, outdoor kitchens, heaters, and more. Whether it’s a backyard that needs a little extra love or a restaurant patio that’s missing the right setup, we make outdoor spaces more comfortable, functional, and inviting, all year long.

More Shade, Less Sweat

While it is beautiful, summer in Minnesota can be brutal. One minute, you’re soaking in the sunshine, and the next, you’re melting into your patio furniture. That’s why shade is an essential part of an inviting backyard! For home and business owners who need better shade solutions, consider motorized screens or versatile pergolas.

Motorized Screens

Enjoy greater flexibility, greater comfort, and take things up a notch with motorized screens. They can block UV rays, keep the bugs out, and add an extra layer of privacy with the push of a button. Whether you want a fully enclosed space or just a little extra protection, screens let you adjust your setup throughout the day. Plus, they blend seamlessly with our pergolas, so you don’t have to sacrifice style for function.

Versatile pergolas

We’re the certified installer of Azenco Outdoor pergolas, cabanas, and canopies in Minnesota. This includes:

  • R-BLADE Motorized Louvered Roof Pergola
  • R-SHADE Insulated Roof Pergola
  • R-BREEZE Fixed Louvered Roof Pergola
  • R-CAR Insulated Roof Carport
  • K-BANA Manual Louvered Cabana
  • K-NOPY Aluminum Awning

For more detailed information about these systems, visit our product page! No matter which structure you choose, you can enjoy a low-maintenance, luxury design that will protect you from rain showers and harsh sun. And unlike umbrellas that take up valuable space with clunky bases, a pergola provides shade from above without getting in the way. Outdoor living in Minneapolis doesn’t have to be put on hold just because of inclement weather.

Patios That Work Harder

For restaurant and bar owners, a patio can make or break the busy season. If your space is too hot, too windy, or just plain uncomfortable, you’re losing business. Adding a pergola for more shade or motorized screens to enclose your patio changes the game. Both of those options create an environment so comfortable and inviting that customers can’t help but stick around longer. Bonus: they look incredible and help your space stand out from the competition.

We worked with two restaurant owners to boost commercial outdoor living in Minneapolis. Check out this video recap to get an inside look at the pergolas we installed at Manitou Bar & Kitchen in White Bear Lake and Scoreboard Bar & Grill in Minnetonka, MN.

Built for Minneapolis Weather

We know what you’re thinking. What about winter? Our aluminum pergolas and motorized screens are built tough. They hold up to the elements and work with your space to create a comfortable setup year-round. To ensure proper installation, we get professional engineering to meet the requirements and standards for things like snow load. Add heaters, fans, and lighting, and your patio won’t have to take a season off.
