What we build

Pergolas.
Shade with an open-air feel.

Create a defined outdoor room with a pergola designed around your seating, garden, and home.

Plan your project
Designed around your home

Shade with an open-air feel.

A pergola uses an open framework to define an outdoor space and filter sunlight. It can frame a dining table, create a transition into the garden, or add structure to a patio without enclosing the sky.

We consider sun direction, beam spacing, post positions, and how the structure relates to the house. An open pergola offers a different experience from a solid-roof pavilion; the choice begins with the shade you want.

What we’ll work through together

  • Should the pergola be freestanding or attached?
  • Where will the afternoon sun reach the furniture?
  • How much overhead openness do you want?

From concept to completed space

Start with a free consultation and a custom 3D design. We discuss materials, access, and the written project scope together. Structural details and any required approvals are determined for the specific property.

Pergolas questions.

Will an open pergola keep rain out?

An open-beam pergola is primarily a way to define space and filter sunlight. If solid overhead shelter is your priority, discuss a covered deck or pavilion rather than assuming an open pergola will provide weather protection.

What determines the project estimate?

The design, dimensions, material system, elevations, site access, structural work, and finishing details establish the project scope. A consultation is the starting point for an estimate specific to your property.

Do I receive a design before the build?

RC Deck Co offers a custom 3D design so the layout and details can be discussed before construction. Confirm deliverables, the schedule, and the final scope in the written project agreement.
