FAQs
Pergolas
What is a pergola?
A pergola is an outdoor structure consisting of vertical posts supporting horizontal beams or rafters. They can be made of various materials and may be freestanding or attached to a building. Pergolas provide shade, privacy, and a decorative element to outdoor spaces, and can be used for dining, entertaining, or relaxation. They are often decorated with lights and plants to create a cozy atmosphere.
What sizes do they come in?
Pergolas come in all sizes. We have build small garden arbors to large commercial structures. They are easily designed to accommodate numerous sizes.
Does rain come through?
Yes, rain and other weather can come through the top of a pergola because it’s mainly used for shade. But don’t worry, we can add a solid cover on top to stop rain and snow from getting in.
How do I measure for one?
Call us to measure for the best fit. We measure each concrete patio to fit the customer’s needs. Custom shapes are welcomed, and we can accommodate them without any issues.
FAQs
Pavilions
What is a pavilion?
A pavilion is ideal for maximum protection against weather conditions as it provides 100% coverage from the elements.
Can a pavilion be attached to my house?
Pergolas can generally be attached, but we need to do a site visit first. When it comes to pavilions, it’s a different story. If a customer wants an attached pavilion, we suggest they look for a local contractor to handle the project. Once they find a contractor, we’ll work with them on the plans and installation to ensure the project goes smoothly.
Is a building permit required?
Customers need to verify with their local municipality for any required permits when it comes to pergolas and pavilions. Local regulations differ, and it’s crucial to comply with all permit and zoning laws to ensure that the structure is authorized for use.
