Custom pergolas that add structure, shade, and character

Pergola Builder in Calgary and area

Pergolas help turn a deck or patio into a destination space. We build them to match the scale, style, and function of the outdoor living project around them.

Pergola design that supports both shade and aesthetics

A pergola should strengthen the whole outdoor living design. We focus on proportion, post placement, overhead structure, and how the finished build reads from the house and yard.

How we approach pergola projects

  1. 01Review the outdoor layout, sun exposure, and the visual style of the home.
  2. 02Design the pergola to fit the deck, patio, or privacy plan around it.
  3. 03Build with clean carpentry and a finished structure that feels integrated, not ornamental.

This is not so much a pergola as it is a covered deck, or gazebo, however, a lot of the same design principles went into this build.
