What Our Customers Say
Heavy-Duty 100% Cedar Construction
We could be biased, but cedar sure seems like Mother Nature’s gift to outdoor structures. Thanks to its naturally rot-resistant structure, it doesn’t need to be chemically treated to remain sturdy and good-looking. Plus, it doesn’t absorb much heat which means it can stay cool to the touch on the hottest days.
- Naturally decay resistant
- Tight-knot structure less likely to develop cracks
- Ability to be stained to your desired color and sealed for lasting endurance
Wind-Resistant Cedar Pergolas
We subject our wood pergolas to rigorous testing to ensure they can withstand the most severe weather conditions, including winds up to 100 MPH*, and have happy customers sharing stories about their resilience during hurricane-force winds. This level of performance is possible due to several factors.
- First, our designs ensure the beams, posts, and bracings work together to provide stability.
- Additionally, powder-coated steel anchoring plates with four 2" concrete screws securely fasten the structure to your property.
- Finally, our metal hardware withstands all the elements to remain stable season after season.
UV Protection & Shade with Soft Sail Canopy
Select pergolas have the option to include a light-filtering soft sail shade canopy. This UV-protected, breathable woven fabric allows air and water to flow through freely, so there's no need to worry about pooling water on rainy days.
PRO-TECT™ Tested & Proven
To ensure we’ve engineered the best possible pergola for you, we’ve tested each of our designs to certify that they achieve the absolute highest standards in the industry.
