Why Invest in a Custom

Cedar Pergola?

A pergola defines your outdoor space without closing it off, giving you an open-air retreat that stays cooler in the Texas heat.

  • Naturally Heat & Rot Resistant: Real cedar contains natural oils and tannins that defend against rot, decay, and boring insects while staying cooler to the touch than aluminum or vinyl.

  • Custom Filtered Shade: We tailor the spacing and orientation of the top purlins and rafters to block peak summer sun while maintaining airflow and natural light.

  • Structural Strength & Longevity: Using heavy rough-sawn posts, notched crossbeams, and commercial-grade structural hardware, our builds are engineered to withstand strong Texas winds.

  • Versatile Upgrades: Easily customize your pergola with retractable canopy shades, decorative post bases, hanging swings, string lighting, or outdoor fan mounts.

Freestanding vs. Attached Pergola Builds

Freestanding Cedar Pergolas

Ideal for anchoring separate backyard destinations—like poolside lounges, fire pit circles, garden paths, or detached outdoor kitchens. A freestanding build creates a distinct zone in your landscape without modifying your home's roofline.

Attached Cedar Pergolas

Anchored directly to your home’s fascia or exterior brick/siding to extend your interior living area. Attached pergolas provide immediate shade over existing decks or concrete pads while creating a seamless visual flow from your back doors.

Tailored Craftsmanship & Options

  • Post & Beam Sizing: Choose between standard 6x6 posts or bold, oversized 8x8 rough-sawn cedar timbers.

  • Custom Tail Profiles: Traditional decorative end cuts, modern squared profiles, or custom ranch-style curves.

  • Staining & Sealing: UV-protective transparent and semi-transparent stains that showcase the natural wood grain and prevent premature graying.
