Before you build in Munday
Munday lies at the junction of U.S. Highway 277, State Highway 222, and Farm roads 1587 and 2811 in southern Knox County. It sits on the Burlington Northern line in the area known as Knox Prairie.
That ground decides how a slab, a pool shell or a footing has to be built here. Here is what it does to a patio.
We file the permit with the city or county office that covers Munday and follow it through review, so the schedule doesn’t stall on paperwork.
Longhorn has been building since 1984, and every project starts with a free design visit and a firm price.

Homes and Yards in Munday
A store opened at the site in 1893, and the settlement was first called Maud for resident Maud Isbell. It took the name of postmaster R.P. Munday when the first post office opened in 1894.
On a wide lot in a farm town like Munday, a freestanding patio cover set on sturdy piers gives shade without tying into an older roof.
Knox County spans 854 square miles of level to rolling, mesquite-covered plains broken by hilly ranges and eroded breaks, at 1,401 to 1,646 feet. Rainfall averages 24.64 inches, and the growing season lasts 217 days.
Water comes from the City of Munday, which treats surface water.
W.A. Earnest built a gin in 1900, and in 1903 merchants in West Munday moved their buildings a thousand yards east to join East Munday. The Wichita Valley line arrived in 1906, the same year Munday incorporated, and it soon became the largest town in the county. By 1940 it had 1,545 residents and seventy businesses, including a cottonseed-oil mill and a compress.
The population reached 2,270 in 1950. Irrigation later led farmers to grow onions, potatoes, cucumbers, and melons, and Munday became a vegetable processing center as well as a petroleum center for two counties. Texas A&M University opened a vegetable research center there in 1971. The town had 1,600 residents in 1990 and 1,527 in 2000.
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 38 hail reports in Knox County from 2016 to 2025, 30 of them an inch across or larger, with stones up to 3 inches. 7 of those reports were logged at Munday itself, the largest 1 inches. The same records show 55 damaging thunderstorm wind reports, with gusts up to about 100 mph, and 4 tornadoes. That is why a patio cover’s roof panels, fasteners and posts here are chosen for hail and wind, not only for shade.
What each outdoor project needs in Munday, TX
How is a pool built in Munday?
Rolling Plains clay swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries, and a pool shell is a rigid object sitting in it. The shell, its bond beam and the deck are designed for that movement, and the deck is graded so rain runs away from the pool and the house. In Munday the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Munday, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on pools.
What does a patio cover need in Munday?
On Rolling Plains clay a patio cover’s footings carry the whole structure, and the top of the clay is the part that moves most. Footings are taken below that movement and the slab is graded away from the house, so the roofline stays true as the ground wets and dries. In Munday the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Munday, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on patio covers.
How is a pergola built to last in Munday?
A pergola on Rolling Plains clay stays square only if its posts sit below the ground that moves. The footings go deeper than the seasonal swell and shrink, and the grade around each post sheds water instead of holding it. More on pergolas.
Can a sunroom or screened enclosure be added in Munday?
A sunroom or screened enclosure in Munday is attached to the house, so it is permitted through the city or county office that covers Munday and sits on footings designed for the ground under it. We match the roofline and the exterior to the house so it reads as part of it. More on sunrooms and patio enclosures.

Almost always, for pools and for anything attached to the house, including patio covers, sunrooms and enclosures. Longhorn files the permit with the city or county office that covers Munday and handles the inspections, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork.
Munday sits on Rolling Plains clay ground in Knox County. The ground decides how a slab, a pool shell or a footing has to be built, so we plan the drainage and the footings for it at the first visit rather than after something moves.
