Pergolas built for Security-Widefield homes
Pergolas add structure and dappled shade to Security-Widefield 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 1960s–1980s ranches.
At 5,738 ft with moderate but real wind loads, pergola posts need real footings and lateral bracing — we build ours for Security-Widefield's conditions, not to a big-box kit spec. Optional louvered tops give you full sun-to-shade control on your wide-open sky with plenty of south exposure lot.
