Custom Pergolas in Colorado

Shade & Style Built for Colorado’s Climate

Your outdoor space should feel inviting and practical throughout the year. Our custom pergolas are planned with your home’s layout, daily use, and the local climate in mind. We create structures that add shade, visual appeal, and a natural gathering space for your backyard.

Why Add a Pergola to Your Colorado Home?

Colorado’s climate brings bright sun, quick weather shifts, and long seasons spent outdoors. A well-designed pergola adds comfort, structure, and shade that fit the way homeowners across the Front Range enjoy their yards. It also helps shape a defined space that feels inviting all year, from warm summer afternoons to cool fall evenings.

Shade and Relief From Strong Sun

A pergola creates a comfortable escape from Colorado’s midday sun and high UV exposure. The slatted top filters light and helps keep outdoor seating areas pleasant in the warmer months. You can also add optional shade elements to create even more comfort.

Protection From Changing Weather

A covered pergola can soften rain, light snow, or steady mountain sun so your outdoor space stays usable across shifting conditions. Colorado’s weather can change quickly, so a structure designed for this region helps keep your yard practical throughout the year.

Outdoor Enjoyment Through Every Season

Pair your pergola with a heater or a cozy seating layout to enjoy your yard during cooler seasons. Many homeowners use their pergola as a comfortable spot for morning coffee in spring or as a gathering space during fall events.

A Better Setting for Entertaining

Pergolas offer a natural focal point for backyard gatherings. They work well with string lights, planters, and outdoor furniture, helping you create a welcoming space for dinner, conversation, or relaxation. The structure supports a calm and inviting atmosphere that fits any backyard style.

Pergola Designs Built for Colorado Homes

We create pergolas that support shade, structure, and visual interest in your outdoor space. Every design is shaped around your home’s layout, the sun pattern across your yard, and the way you plan to use the area daily.

Custom Pergola Construction

We build custom pergolas sized and shaped for your backyard layout. Each structure is designed with proper spacing, posts, and framing so the pergola remains stable through seasonal weather.

Wood Pergolas

Wood provides a warm, natural feel and works well for homeowners who want a classic look. We guide you through wood species that offer strength and reliable performance in Colorado conditions.

Upgrades for New Pergolas

Uncovered Pergolas

An uncovered pergola is a simple and open structure that adds charm, character, and visual appeal to your outdoor space. It creates a light and airy look that works well for homeowners who want shade variation without fully enclosing the area. This style is ideal for backyards that benefit from natural light and open airflow.

Uncovered pergolas work beautifully as:

They can be customized with a variety of wood stains, finishes, and post designs to complement your home’s aesthetic.

Garden trellises for climbing plants or vines

They create a strong and attractive support system for greenery that grows upward.

Decorative structures over patios or walkways

The open design adds style and draws attention to key areas of your yard.

Light-filtering shade structures

They soften direct sun while still allowing light and airflow to move through the space.

Architectural accents for framing views or garden spaces

They highlight landscaping features and help tie your outdoor layout together.

Each uncovered pergola can be customized with wood tones, finishes, and post styles that match the look of your home and surrounding landscape.
