Pergolas & Arbors

Pergolas can add beauty, shade and comfort to any backyard. Our pergolas are expertly designed and custom built with only the finest western red cedar and finished to perfection.

What is a Pergola?

A pergola is a backyard structure consisting of columns that support a grid of beams and rafters. This rafters and beams of a pergola, unlike a patio cover, are left open to create a shaded area that still allows in plenty of light. Pergolas may be freestanding or attached to a house.

How is a Pergola Different From an Arbor?

Pergolas are typically larger structures, often in every dimension (height, width, and length). Often built over a patio or deck as a shade structure, a pergola is also based on a similar post-and-beam construction as an arbor. They may be built with more elaborate designs such as stone columns, corbels or decorative trim. An arbor is a landscaping structure very similar to a pergola, but there are differences between the two. Arbors date back to early Egyptian and Roman gardens and were used throughout Europe by the late 16th century.
