Building a Community

Welcome to our community page at ShadesAuthority.com! I’m Sergio Gomes, and I’ve always envisioned this space as more than just a blog or a resource center about gazebos, pergolas, and outdoor shades. 

My dream is to create a vibrant, engaged, and supportive community of outdoor living enthusiasts, DIY aficionados, and professional landscapers who share a passion for transforming outdoor spaces into beautiful, functional, and enjoyable areas.

Why a Community Matters?

Building an outdoor space is more than a project; it’s a journey. And like all great journeys, it’s better shared. 

Whether it’s overcoming the challenge of choosing the right materials, sharing the joy of a newly installed pergola, or exchanging tips on maintaining a gazebo, there’s immense value in coming together. Our community is here to support, inspire, and learn from each other.

How You Can Participate?

Our community thrives on participation, and there are several ways you can join in, share your experiences, and learn from others:

  • Forum Discussions: Engage in our forums where you can ask questions, offer advice, and share your outdoor shade projects. From troubleshooting common issues to showcasing your latest installation, our forums are a space for encouragement and knowledge sharing.
  • Social Media: Connect with us on social platforms where members can post pictures of their projects, share relevant articles, or even host live Q&As or webinars. These platforms are a quick way to stay connected and informed about the latest in outdoor living.
  • Workshops and Webinars: We aim to host online and, potentially, local workshops or webinars. These events are great opportunities to learn new skills, meet experts in the field, and ask questions about your specific needs or projects.
  • Project Spotlights: Submit your completed projects to be featured on our website and social media. It’s a fantastic way to showcase your hard work and inspire others in their outdoor space endeavors.

A Note from Sergio

Creating a thriving community around the love of outdoor spaces is at the core of what we do here at ShadesAuthority.com. 

My hope is that through our shared experiences and collective wisdom, we can inspire each other to tackle new projects, overcome challenges, and ultimately, create more beautiful and enjoyable outdoor living spaces.

I invite you to join us, share your story, and be a part of our growing community. Together, let’s build not just amazing outdoor spaces, but also lasting connections and friendships.

We’re so excited to have you with us. Let the adventure begin!

Warmest regards,

Sergio Gomes
