SELECTING YOUR PERGOLA
OR PAVILION STYLE
Search online for a Pergola or Pavilion kit and
you’ll get thousands of pages of results. There are
countless products on the market, some of which
are very good. You’ll also find plans to build your
own structure from scratch, which we know is a lot
of fun! You can also go into most big-box stores
and see inexpensive mass-manufactured Pergolas
in standard, smallish sizes (under 200 sq (cid:30)).
If you’re looking for a truly premium product, a
special shape, a relatively large structure, or if you
need to a(cid:31)ach your Pergola to a building, your
choice of manufacture drops to a handful of
options. By working with us, you can be sure your
outdoor structure will be pe(cid:27)ectly designed and
handcra(cid:30)ed to provide a balance of shading,
visibility, privacy, and propo(cid:29)ions for decades of
enjoyable use. Our most popular shade structure
styles are shown on these pages.

Q u i c k F a c t s
We are a custom woodworking shop. We are
happy to fulfill your special requests. Here are
some details about our products and service:
• Redwood is the most decay-resistant natural
wood available in the No(cid:29)h American market.
We offer warranties of up to twenty years for
our shade structures. Your Pergola will last for
decades in any climate with minimal mainte-
nance.
• We take the old school approach. All of our
hardware is stainless steel and comes included
with your order. Our lumber is sawn extra thick.
Depending on the timber size, our boards will
contain up to 36% more wood compared to the
industry standard sizing.
• All joints are notched so that your pergola will
never sag, warp, twist, or shrink. Each timber is
finely sanded to a smooth-to-the-touch feel
and sealed with what we believe to be the best
sealant on the market a(cid:30)er 25 years of trying
every option on the market (Sikkens Brand).
• We offer dozens of possible configurations
and customizations for pergolas and pavilions
including shading options, privacy screens,
custom stains, accessory bases, electrical trims
and more.
• Every structure can be customized. You can
choose from our standard sizes and options,
and if you don’t see a size or detail you’d like
just let us know. We have built structures as
small as 6' x 3' and can go up to 150’ L x 44’ W. If
you dream it, we can build it.
