Pergolas &
Shade Structures
A pergola transforms open space into an outdoor room — defining space, framing views, and creating dappled light that makes being outside feel intentional.
Design Your PergolaStructures Built Like Furniture

Pergola FAQ
What is the difference between a pergola and a pavilion?
Pergolas have an open-rafter roof that provides partial shade. Pavilions have a solid roof for complete weather protection. We also build hybrid structures with retractable canopies for versatility.
What materials do you use for pergolas?
We work with redwood, cedar, pressure-treated lumber, and aluminum. Each has different aesthetics, maintenance requirements, and price points. We help you choose the best option for your needs.
Do pergolas require permits?
Usually yes, as they are considered structures. Requirements vary by city. We handle the permit process and ensure your pergola meets all local building codes.
