Featured build
Freestanding Pergola
An open timber frame creates a defined backyard room, with a light overhead roof and comfortable seating below.
Custom pergolas
Built around the way you use the outdoors.
From a freestanding backyard shade structure to a house-attached porch, each pergola is planned around the site, the connection, and the finish you want.
Recent projects
A few ways the frame can work.

Designed around the site
The connection is part of the design.
A pergola can be connected to the ground, connected to the house, or planned as a freestanding structure. We can work through the practical tradeoffs around the property instead of starting with a one-size-fits-all kit.
How it meets the ground
Choose a ground-connected layout, a surface-mounted structure, or a solution that works with an existing deck, patio, or terrace.
- Ground-connected posts
- Surface-mounted footings
- Existing deck or patio
- Rooftop or terrace
How it meets the house
The frame can be planned around the building instead of forcing the space into a preset footprint.
- Freestanding
- Attached to the house
- Partly attached / partly freestanding
- Set beside a porch or deck
What the site needs
Access, drainage, grade changes, trees, utilities, doors, and sightlines all shape a comfortable result.
- Backyards
- Porches and decks
- Courtyards
- Side yards
- Driveways
- Rooftops and terraces
