A pergola is more than a shade structure — it's the architectural centrepiece of your outdoor space. Whether attached to your home as an extension of your indoor living area, or standing free in the garden as a destination retreat, a custom pergola transforms the way you use your backyard.
Our pergolas are designed to complement your home's architecture and built to withstand the full spectrum of Canadian weather. From traditional cedar post-and-beam designs to sleek powder-coated aluminum louver systems, we build pergolas that are as practical as they are beautiful.

Pergola Styles & Materials
Find Your Perfect Pergola Style
Every home and garden is different. We offer a wide range of pergola styles and materials to find the perfect match for your outdoor space and budget.
Classic Cedar Pergola
Timeless and warm, cedar pergolas bring natural beauty to any backyard. Cedar is naturally resistant to insects and decay, ages gracefully to a beautiful silver-grey, and can be stained to maintain its rich colour. The classic choice for traditional and cottage-style homes.
Aluminum Louvered Pergola
The most versatile pergola option available. Powder-coated aluminum frames paired with motorized rotating louvers let you go from full sun to full shade with the touch of a button. Built-in rain drainage channels keep you dry even in a downpour. Low maintenance and incredibly durable.
Attached Pergola
Extend your indoor living space outdoors by attaching a pergola directly to your home's exterior wall or existing deck. Creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, provides shade over doors and windows, and significantly increases usable outdoor square footage.
Freestanding Garden Pergola
Create a destination in your garden with a freestanding pergola — a private retreat or entertaining zone positioned anywhere in your yard. Perfect for covering a hot tub, fire pit area, or garden seating space far from the main deck.
Privacy Pergola with Screens
Combine the structure of a pergola with privacy lattice panels, shade screens, or fabric curtains on the sides to create a truly enclosed outdoor room. Block wind, reduce sun exposure from the sides, and enjoy the feeling of an outdoor living room.
Entertainment Pergola
Purpose-built for outdoor entertaining, these premium pergolas integrate built-in lighting, ceiling fans, outdoor speakers, and can be paired with an outdoor kitchen or bar. The ultimate upgrade for homeowners who love to host outdoors.

Popular Pergola Add-Ons & Features
Make your pergola work harder and look even better with our popular upgrade options.
Integrated Lighting
Recessed LED pot lights, string light anchors, and pendant light rough-ins built directly into the pergola structure. Enjoy your outdoor space after dark in style.
Retractable Canopy
Waterproof, UV-resistant fabric canopies that deploy when you need shade and retract when you want open sky. Available in dozens of fabric colours and patterns.
Ceiling Fans
Outdoor-rated ceiling fans keep air moving and guests comfortable on still summer evenings. We handle the mounting, electrical, and switch installation.
Privacy Screens & Curtains
Lattice panels, shade cloth screens, or elegant outdoor curtain tracks on the pergola sides create privacy and block wind while maintaining the open feel.
Climbing Plant Supports
We can integrate decorative wire trellises, cable systems, or box planters into the pergola posts for climbing vines like clematis, wisteria, or hops.
Outdoor Electrical
Weatherproof outlets, USB charging ports, outdoor speaker wiring, and dedicated circuits for heaters or projectors — all built in before the pergola is complete.
Common Questions
Pergola FAQ
Pergola costs in Canada typically range from $5,000 for a small basic cedar structure to $30,000+ for a large aluminum louvered pergola with all the add-ons. Most homeowners spend $8,000–$18,000 for a well-appointed 12×16 ft pergola with some extras. We provide free detailed quotes so you know exactly what you're getting.
Permit requirements for pergolas vary by municipality. Freestanding pergolas under a certain size may not require one, but attached pergolas typically do, especially if they involve electrical work. We handle all permit applications as part of every project, ensuring your structure is 100% compliant with local building codes.
A well-built cedar pergola with proper maintenance (cleaning and re-sealing every 2–3 years) can last 15–25+ years. Aluminum pergolas are virtually maintenance-free and can last 30–50 years with no special care. We'll recommend the best option based on your maintenance preferences and budget.
Absolutely. All our pergolas are engineered to meet local ground snow load requirements. We size the posts, beams, and footings appropriately for your region's climate. Open-lattice pergola roofs generally allow snow to fall through, while louvered systems can be opened in winter to allow snow to pass.
