We are excited to share our continued partnership with HGTV and a contribution to the HGTV Smart Home 2026. Located in vibrant Orlando, Florida, this resort-inspired home features thoughtful smart technology, curated style, and a premium freestanding Trex Pergola Balance. This premium aluminum pergola with retractable canopies stands out as the centerpiece to sophisticated outdoor entertaining and relaxation.
Smart Shade for The Sunshine State
Central Florida and its humid subtropical climate are a study in extremes: by morning, you have brilliantly bright sun, almost suffocatingly humid afternoons, and rainstorms that can roll in at a moment’s notice (and leave just as quickly). Backyards and other outdoor spaces need to be adaptable to the varying weather and heat of Florida, and that’s exactly what the Trex Pergola Balance is perfect for. With its aluminum construction and ShadeFlex retractable canopies, Balance stands up to the weather and adapts to the needs of the homeowner. For a smart home designed around outdoor living, this kind of strength and flexibility is a must.
A Resort-Inspired Backyard Retreat
The 2026 Smart Home is inspired by resort-style living; nothing exemplifies that vision more than the backyard. Orlando may be the vacation capital of the world (thanks to a certain mouse), but homeowners here will have no need to travel for an escape. Finished in crisp white to complement the coastal look of the home, Balance sets the tone for a true resort-style atmosphere. Defined and elegant, Balance turns an outdoor space into a relaxation destination, where weekends feel like mini getaways right in the backyard.
Anchoring The Outdoor Kitchen
The outdoor kitchen with its modern appliances sits at the heart of the Smart Home’s backyard. Positioned directly over the outdoor kitchen, Balance anchors and defines the space with shelter for the cook, and comfort for the guests. ShadeFlex retractable canopies offer shade over the grill during hot, sunny afternoons and protection from shifting weather, keeping the homeowners’ dinner plans safely intact.
Smart Shade for a Smart Home
The HGTV Smart Home is defined by smart technology that integrates into daily home life, making homeownership easier and more comfortable. Just as cutting-edge technology is integrated inside, our Balance, with its ShadeFlex retractable canopy, brings smart functionality to outdoor living. Recessed downlights and a retractable canopy extend usage well into the evening and late into the night.
Proud Partnership with HGTV
