Once your cedar cover is up, your backyard becomes the go-to spot for every High School or College football game this season.

Why a Custom Cedar Cover is Your Backyard’s Best Friend This College Football Season

If you love gathering with friends for college football games, then you’ll want to stick around, because at the end of this post, we’re sharing a recipe that’s perfect for game day and easy to enjoy right under your cedar attached patio with kitchen!

Watching football outside is one of those simple joys, but Texas weather doesn’t always cooperate. That’s where a custom cedar cover from Lasso Works Cedar comes in. Whether you’re in Denton, Parker, Tarrant, Fort Worth, or Johnson Counties, having a sturdy, beautiful cedar cover means you get to enjoy the game rain or shine. No scrambling to move inside when the weather flips. Just good times with your crew, right in your backyard.

We get it — a cedar patio cover isn’t just about blocking sun or rain. It’s about creating a space that fits how you live and hang out. Maybe you want a spot that comfortably fits your big TV for watching those nail-biting CFL moments. Or maybe you need a shaded area where the halftime BBQs and snack runs happen without worrying about the heat.

And here’s the best part once your Lasso cedar patio is up, your backyard becomes the go-to spot for every college or high school football game this season. Imagine kicking back under your cover with friends and family, game on the big screen, and snacks that keep everyone happy.

Speaking of snacks…
