A pergola, usually built from treated lumber or cedar, is a great aesthetic enhancement to your deck, and helps protect it from the elements. While they are more a structural asset than a full shade or rain-protecting roof, they give you something you can enhance later:  with flower baskets, vines, or a roll-out rain-protecting awning. Just add your own pergola-pizzazz.

We’ve found pergola designs to be unique to the deck, so we don’t have cookie-cutter kits, but our Pros can work with any vision you have in mind and build a package just for you.

Roofing over a pergola is a matter of personal preference. If you add a roof, it will increase protection from the elements, but it can make it darker and feel a bit more closed in.
