Custom Built Pergolas

Shade & Style Built for Colorado’s Climate

A custom pergola is the perfect solution for Colorado homeowners who want to add beauty, function, and value to their property. Whether you’re dreaming of a covered pergola for shade and shelter or an open pergola for that classic, airy feel, Griffin Decks & Covers designs and builds pergolas that are made to last and made to impress.

Why Add a Pergola to Your Colorado Home?

Colorado’s unique climate is no secret to those who have settled in the Front Range to enjoy the beauty. Our 300+ days of sunshine, unpredictable rain showers, and snowy winters makes pergolas a practical and beautiful addition to your deck or backyard.

Shade From
Harsh Sun

A pergola offers a stylish solution to the strong midday sun exposure and high UVs, especially at high elevation. Add a retractable canopy or lattice for extra shade and comfort during the summer months.

Protection From
the Elements

Covered pergolas provide shelter from light rain, snow, and hail—so you can still enjoy your outdoor space no matter the forecast, especially important with Colorado’s quickly changing weather.

Year-Round
Outdoor Enjoyment

Pair your pergola with a patio heater, and you’ve got an inviting space for all four seasons—whether you’re sipping coffee in spring watching the snow-capped mountains or hosting friends in the fall hosting a Broncos watch party.

Great for Entertaining

Create the ultimate cozy outdoor lounge, dining area, or reading nook. Pergolas are the perfect base for string lights, climbing vines, and hanging plants—everything you need for a dreamy backyard escape.

Covered vs. Uncovered Pergolas:
What’s Right for You?

At Griffin Decks & Covers, we build both.

Covered Pergolas

A covered pergola is ideal if you want to maximize comfort and usability year-round. These structures offer shade and protection from Colorado’s high-altitude sun, sudden summer storms, and winter snowfall.

Our covered pergolas can be built with durable materials like:

  • Polycarbonate roofing for filtered natural light and UV protection
  • Wood or composite slats for a warm, rustic aesthetic
  • Metal panels for a sleek, modern look that offers complete overhead coverage

Covered pergolas are perfect for:

  • Creating an outdoor living room or dining space
  • Adding privacy from nearby neighbors or roads
  • Protecting furniture and grilling areas from the elements
  • Extending the functional use of your deck or patio

Plus, with the option to integrate lighting, fans, or heaters, your covered pergola becomes a true outdoor extension of your home.

Uncovered Pergolas

If you're looking for a more open, airy structure, an uncovered pergola offers beauty, simplicity, and design flexibility. These are perfect for homeowners who want to add visual interest and charm without fully enclosing the space.

Uncovered pergolas work beautifully as:

  • Garden trellises for climbing plants or vines
  • Decorative features over walkways or patios
  • Partial shade structures that still allow light and airflow
  • Architectural enhancements to frame mountain views or garden beds

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