Pergolas in Kyle and Buda

A pergola turns a bare patio into a place to sit outside. We build cedar and wood pergolas for patios and backyards, sized to your space, and wood lean-to shelters when you need a covered spot. Call for a free estimate.

Cedar pergola with swings in a backyard

Freestanding, over a patio or with swings

A freestanding pergola stands on four or more posts anywhere in the yard. One over a patio frames the space next to the house. We have also built them with swings hanging from the beams, as in the photo on this page.

We can set the posts on a poured concrete slab or build without a slab, on a wood deck, whichever you prefer.

Cedar is the usual choice: it handles the weather and takes stain well.

Lean-to shelters

When you need real cover from sun and rain, a lean-to shelter with a solid roof does the job: over a grill, a work area or animals. The photos show one in pine.

What we plan with you

  • Size and height, measured on your patio or yard
  • Post layout so it does not block doors or paths
  • Beam and rafter spacing for more or less shade
  • Natural wood or stain to match your fence

Before you build

Check your HOA and city rules before the build; some limit size, height or how close a structure can sit to the property line. Think about where the sun is in the afternoon, since that is when shade matters most on a Texas patio, and about what goes under it: a table, a grill or a swing.
