Pergola 101

Want to enhance your deck or yard and create breathtaking archways or cozy deck corners? A pergola sounds like the answer. Help protect your family from the sun and add some beauty to your home!

Different Types Attached

Attached Pergolas are connected to the side of your home, pool house, or shed.

This is a great option for those who want to integrate the outdoors with their existing living space.

Detached

Freestanding pergolas are designed to be their own focal point. These structures look exquisite when they stand alone and also provide a functional shade sanctuary for the backyard. This style can be crafted to accommodate large parties and cozy outdoor entertainment.

Custom

Pergolas can be built in so many different ways. There are always options in between and outside of the box. At Armstrong Construction, we design for you.

Benefits

Adding a pergola creates a gorgeous shady oasis no matter where it is placed. It makes room for more hosting and provides a luxurious new hangout spot for the family. They never fail to add more sophistication to an outdoor space.

What Materials Are Best?

Typically built with wood, vinyl, or metal, pergolas are quite versatile. Think about where you want yours placed and what you want to use it for. Wood gives a natural look and is quite reliable against the elements. Wood is affordable but requires regular maintenance to prevent rot. Vinyl is low maintenance and durable but may require replacement when exposed to too many harsh elements. Metal is the most expensive option, but it is also the most durable. It is fire resistant, easy to clean, long-lasting, and low maintenance. All these materials create very different looks, so doing research and seeing these designs is important before making your decision.

Check Local Codes

Everywhere is different but check what is required legally in your community when building a new structure. Requirements and restrictions will impact your size, material, and design choices. You may also live in a community with an HOA that implements rules for new builds on your property. Armstrong Construction can help you navigate all of it.
