Wooden Arbors and Pergolas

Wooden arbors and pergolas are perfect for decks, patios, and gardens.

We are usually asked:: “What is the difference between an arbor and a pergola?” A wooden arbor provides a little more shade due to the 2×2 slats resting on the rafters. They are typically spaced 2″ apart to cast more shade.

A pergola usually has rafters that provide a more open, shaded structure. But they give so much more than just added shade – they bring beauty to any outdoor space with vines, flowers, or fruit thriving on the structure. You can establish your own haven of outdoor tranquility by incorporating a pergola or arbor into your space.

Arbors and pergolas can be custom-built to fit any square footage, with designs ranging from simple square overhead structures around seating areas to sprawling pergolas stretching across yards, adding lovely curves and structure anywhere needed.
Your new arbor/pergola can be used in so many ways. We build cedar arbors and pergolas, and if you’re looking for something a little more maintenance-free, we also build metal pergolas.
