Pergola Construction

What this involves.

Pergola construction is part structure and part design, since the posts and beams have to carry real loads while still looking right over your patio. We set proper footings, plumb and brace the posts, and build the beam and rafter framework square and level before adding any slats, lattice, or top covering. Whether you want an open pergola for dappled shade or one set up for a sail, fabric, or climbing plants, we build it to handle wind and weather and tie it cleanly into your patio and home. We can also run lighting or power to it as part of the build.

• Layout and footings sized to support the pergola and local conditions
• Setting posts plumb, square, and solidly anchored
• Building the beam and rafter framework level and true
• Adding top slats, lattice, or a covering for the shade you want
• Running lighting or power to the structure where you want it
• Finishing the wood or material to hold up to weather
• Final cleanup and a walkthrough of the finished pergola
