Best in Show Outdoor Living Pavilion at the San Antonio Home and Garden Show
By Kyle Brooks ·

At the San Antonio Home and Garden Show, Integrated Outdoor Designs earned Best in Show for a full outdoor living pavilion — heavy timber, patio cover, and outdoor kitchen built as one walkable room.
The booth was not a prop wall. It was the same craft we put in Hill Country and San Antonio backyards: structure you can stand under, cook in, and live in.

A Home and Garden Show Booth That Feels Like a Real Backyard
A show booth has to stop people walking the aisle — and still read as real outdoor living, not a stage set.
We needed one structure that showed timber scale, shade, seating, and an outdoor kitchen in a single glance, so visitors could feel what a finished pavilion is like before they call for a quote.

A Heavy-Timber Pavilion With a Patio Cover and Outdoor Kitchen
A heavy-timber outdoor living pavilion with a solid patio cover, open sides for airflow, and an outdoor kitchen island with grill and prep space — the same language as our patio covers in San Antonio and outdoor kitchens.
Stone flooring, seating, and branding made the booth a full room, not a partial mockup. Guests could walk through the structure and see how posts, beams, and roof line work together.

Best in Show — and a clear look at how IOD builds outdoor rooms: timber structure, covered shade, and a kitchen that belongs in the space.
If you want that same pavilion craft in your yard, see the poolside pavilion and outdoor kitchen we built in Comal County or talk through a site walk.
