Wooden Pergolas

Pergolas & Patio Covers

Pergolas are an excellent way to add value and functionality to your landscape. With the California heat, shade is a necessity in order to be able to enjoy your landscaping during the summer months.

One thing most people forget to consider though is how dark a patio cover can make the inside of your home. If you are considering a patio cover near your house we recommend a freestanding opened roof style pergola. This will give the best of most worlds. Shade, functionality yet still allowing light to enter sliding glass doors and windows near the pergola. Another thing to consider is smoke from outdoor cooking. If you plan to install a BBQ or outdoor island near your pergola an open style roof will allow better ventilation and air flow.
