Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Pergolas
How much shade does a pergola provide?+
A standard pergola provides 50-70% shade depending on rafter spacing and orientation. Adding a retractable canopy or louvered roof system gives you adjustable coverage from full sun to full shade.
Can a pergola be attached to my house?+
Yes. Attached pergolas connect directly to your home and extend your living space seamlessly. We ensure proper flashing and structural connections to prevent water intrusion and support the load.
What is the best wood for pergolas in Texas?+
Western red cedar is the premium choice for DFW pergolas due to its natural rot resistance and beauty. Treated pine is a budget-friendly option. We also offer aluminum and steel for a modern, maintenance-free look.
How long does pergola installation take?+
A typical residential pergola takes 1-2 weeks to install including footings, posts, beams, and rafters. Custom designs with electrical or fan installations may take an additional week.
