Lakeside terraces, casitas and covered patios
Outdoor screens are common here, because the terrace is where people actually sit. The rule is sun, not shade in general: under a deep covered patio where no direct light reaches the wall, a standard panel with a UV-rated cover holds up through a Lake Las Vegas summer. Where afternoon sun crosses the stucco, it becomes an outdoor-rated TV or a fan-cooled enclosure, vents facing down so wind-driven dust after a monsoon cell does not settle inside. Brackets go through the stucco into wood framing with 5/16-inch lags, and every penetration gets sealed the same day. Stainless hardware goes anywhere a misting line or irrigation spray can reach. Casitas and guest suites, standard on the larger lots, are ordinary drywall jobs, though they usually need their own streaming device rather than a cable run back to the main house. Exterior cable stays short, UV jacketed and off the elevations the association cares about. We also check the wall for irrigation lines before drilling, since planters sit tight against these elevations. Terrace installs: 80 to 110 minutes, longer with an enclosure.
