Pergolas built for Stetson Hills homes
Pergolas add structure and dappled shade to Stetson Hills 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 1990s-2010s tract two-stories with small-to-mid-size backyards.
At 6,400 ft with significant sustained wind, pergola posts need real footings and lateral bracing — we build ours for Stetson Hills's conditions, not to a big-box kit spec. Optional louvered tops give you full sun-to-shade control on your full sun from sunrise to sunset lot.
