Pergola Design & Installation
Cedar, timber and aluminum pergolas that frame your patio, soften the sun and give outdoor rooms the feeling of walls without closing them in.
- Materials: Cedar, timber, aluminum
- Typical timeline: 3 to 10 working days

What it is, and why it works.
A pergola does something no furniture can: it gives an open patio a ceiling. The rafters frame the sky, cast moving stripes of shade and give string lights, fans, vines and curtains a place to live. In a Nashville summer that partial shade is the difference between a patio used in May and one used all season.
We build pergolas in cedar, stained pine, structural timber and powder-coated aluminum, sized and proportioned to your house. Footings go below frost depth, posts are tied properly into the patio or foundations, and the finish is chosen to match your trim so it looks like it was part of the original design.
Four things done right.
Shade you control
Rafter spacing and optional louvers or shade cloth set how much sun gets through.
Properly anchored
Footings below frost depth and engineered fasteners for wind.
Built to match
Stain and trim details echo your home's exterior.
Ready for extras
Lighting, fans, heaters and curtains can be wired in during the build.

Pergolas: common questions
Does a pergola need a permit?
Often yes for attached or larger structures. We tell you what your city requires and handle the paperwork where we can.
Can a pergola be made rain-proof?
A traditional pergola lets rain through. Adding a solid or louvered roof turns it into a covered structure, and we can show you the options.
