A solid roof over the patio that gives real shade in a 99 degree July and holds in a storm. Posts sit in footings and the roof fastens to the house framing.

Insulated panels keep roof heat off the patio and stand up to hail better than thin sheets, which matters where Stonewall County hail has reached 4 inches.

A pergola gives an Old Glory home open, filtered shade. It can stand on its own posts, and louvered tops close against afternoon sun across open country.

Screens under a solid roof keep out flies, mosquitoes and the grit that wind carries across rural Old Glory ground. Pet mesh and a self-closing door are options.

A glass room on a slab we check first, since Stonewall County soils run from sandy loam to clay. It gives an Old Glory home bright, sheltered space out of the wind.

A fully insulated room with insulated glass for use every month, from a 30 degree January low to the peak of summer, with an optional link to your HVAC.
A rural lot near Old Glory mostly affects access, exposure and scheduling, not what you can build. Our Stonewall County crew is based near Clyde, so we set the estimate and install days together and order every part ahead of time. At the visit we check the drive, where a trailer can park and how materials reach the patio. Wide-open ground means full sun and wind on the structure, so a solid patio cover anchored in footings usually beats an open frame for a home in ZIP code 79540.
Hail around Old Glory has reached 4 inches, the largest size in Stonewall County’s records in the NOAA Storm Events Database from 2021 through 2025. The county logged 9 hail reports in that span, 8 of them one inch or larger, plus 5 thunderstorm wind reports and 1 tornado report. April, June and May brought the most hail. Stones that size can dent any metal, so a thick insulated roof, solid posts and a call to your insurer after a storm are the practical answer. Photos taken right after the storm help any claim.
Soils and terrain around Old Glory affect footings mostly through slope and soil type. Stonewall County runs from calcareous sandy loams in the west to clay and clay loams in the east, and its topography ranges from rolling plains to mountainous, with 50 to 80 percent of the land gently sloping. On a sloped lot, posts on the low side need deeper footings, and clay ground moves with moisture. We check slab level, drainage and soil at the estimate before recommending a sunroom or a cover, and we explain what we find.
A screened patio will help in Old Glory if bugs or dust keep you inside. Stonewall County averages 22.36 inches of precipitation a year, so many days are dry and windy, and mosquitoes and flies still turn up after a storm. A screened enclosure under a solid roof keeps both out while the breeze comes through. It does not cool the air, so wire in a ceiling fan while the roof is open. If you may want glass for winter later, start with an insulated roof. Look through our enclosure photos for ideas.
An Old Glory home with little attic insulation should be brought to R-49, or R-38 if 3 to 4 inches are already there, per ENERGY STAR guidance for climate zone 3. Stonewall County is zone 3B, and its average July high is 99 degrees, so a thin attic sends heat straight into the rooms below. We install blown-in insulation for open attics and spray foam where air leaks around framing are the problem. Good attic insulation also keeps an attached sunroom from feeling like a separate, hotter space.
We do not have census figures for Old Glory itself, so the visit is where we learn the house: how the roof is framed, how the slab sits and what condition the windows and doors are in.
Old Glory is in Stonewall County, in the central North Central Plains southeast of the Caprock. The Salt Fork of the Brazos crosses the northern half of the county and the Double Mountain Fork runs near the south, with creeks like Tonk and Croton cutting rough, broken country. Kiowa Peak, Flat Top Mountain and 2,400-foot Double Mountain stand out, and precipitation averages 22.36 inches.
