Custom Pergolas Designed & Installed along CO’s Front Range

With the popularity of outdoor living environments, pergolas have become quite common. Besides providing some shade, creatively-built pergolas enhance the aesthetics of any yard and at a palatable price.

Creativity comes easy since there is an infinite combination of shapes, designs, sizes, species of lumber, size of lumber, and height, amongst other considerations. We typically prefer to stick with larger dimensions of wood that are “less busy” and more “stately” in appearance. Larger dimensions of lumber are also less likely to sag over time.

If you’re interested in building a pergola to provide shade, the most important thing to consider is where and how to build the pergola to capture the most sunlight at the peak time of the day. You don’t want to build an attractive pergola over your existing concrete slab, only to realize that it shades the side of the house when you need shade the most.
