Whether your seeking shade in a swimming pool, lounging in the backyard or cooking the perfect barbeque, a pergola can give you some reprieve from the hot sun while adding interest to your yard.
A great pergola needs to look the part, plus blend with its surrounding landscape and architecture, while stand up to the elements rain, hail or shine.
That’s why we offer a range of options when it comes to pergolas, so you can dress it up or down as you please. Choose from roof style options like flat roof, gable roof, dutch gable or a combination of both. We also offer the option for you to select whether it's freestanding to provide practical shade where you need it most, or attached to your home to create a functional and enjoyable outdoor space.
Let’s get started and find out what your perfect pergola looks like.
