Pergolas built for Rockrimmon homes
Pergolas add structure and dappled shade to Rockrimmon outdoor spaces without closing them in. We build freestanding pergolas over patios and integrated pergolas over decks — cedar and Douglas fir for a warm timber look, powder-coated aluminum for a low-maintenance modern read that suits newer 1970s-90s split-levels and contemporaries with elevated rear decks.
At 6,600 ft with moderate but real wind loads, pergola posts need real footings and lateral bracing — we build ours for Rockrimmon's conditions, not to a big-box kit spec. Optional louvered tops give you full sun-to-shade control on your hot late-afternoon western exposure lot.
