Before you build in Weinert

Haskell County · Rolling Plains clay soil

Weinert is at the intersection of U.S. Highway 277 and Farm Road 617, on the Burlington Northern Railroad sixteen miles northeast of Haskell in northern Haskell County. The area was part of the Ferris Ranch in the 1880s.

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 Weinert 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 Weinert

No town existed until the Wichita Valley Railroad built through in 1906. The town was named for Senator Ferdinand C. Weinert of Seguin.

Wide-open farmland around a railroad town leaves room for a freestanding pavilion with a hip roof, which handles wind from every side better than a flat cover.

Northern Haskell County is rolling plains country with soils from sandy loam to chocolate loam, sitting 1,416 to 1,681 feet above sea level. Temperatures range from a July average high of 97° F to a January average low of 29°.

Water comes from the City of Weinert, which treats surface water.

A storm hit Weinert hard in 1909, and a fire burned out a block of businesses a year later. Even so, the town had 510 people and fifteen businesses in 1940. Changes in farming and transportation did more to shrink Weinert than storms and fires, and the population fell to 253 by 1980, 235 in 1990, and 177 in 2000.

NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 42 hail reports in Haskell County from 2016 to 2025, 35 of them an inch across or larger, with stones up to 2.5 inches. 1 of those reports was logged at Weinert itself. The same records show 44 damaging thunderstorm wind reports, with gusts up to about 90 mph, and 6 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 Weinert, TX

How is a pool built in Weinert?

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 Weinert the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Weinert, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on pools.

What does a patio cover need in Weinert?

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 Weinert the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Weinert, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on patio covers.

How is a pergola built to last in Weinert?

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 Weinert?

A sunroom or screened enclosure in Weinert is attached to the house, so it is permitted through the city or county office that covers Weinert 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.

Weinert outdoor living questions

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 Weinert and handles the inspections, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork.

Weinert sits on Rolling Plains clay ground in Haskell 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.
