Style, Shade & Structure—Built to Match Your Yard

Pergolas, Gazebos & Arbors in Ohio

Framed Right. Finished Clean. Installed for Life.

Outdoor Shade Structures That Match Your Home & Deck

We don’t use kits. Every pergola, gazebo, or arbor we build is framed, cut, and installed by hand to fit your space and style. We match dimensions, pitch, and materials to complement your home and outdoor layout. Whether you want a cozy nook, open-air dining space, or entry feature, we build it strong—and finish it to match your home.

Decorative or Functional—We Build Both

What’s Included in Our Custom Shade Structure Projects

We offer freestanding and attached builds for decks, patios, and gardens. You choose the size, shape, and look—we handle the framing, footings, and finish details that hold up over time.

  • Treated wood, cedar, or composite framing options

  • Decorative beam ends and column styles available

  • Roof, slat, or open-top design with optional lattice

Pergolas & Arbors That Add Beauty Without Blocking Light

Pergolas and arbors create structure without closing off your space. We build them to frame views, support climbing plants, and cast just the right amount of shade. Our builds hold up to snow, wind, and sun with sturdy posts, sealed wood, and durable connectors. Whether over a walkway or part of a patio, they add definition and timeless style to your yard.

Full Roof. Full Shade. Full Comfort.

Gazebos That Feel Like Outdoor Rooms

Gazebos are a great way to add shelter, style, and a central focal point to your backyard. We build them with full shingle or metal roofs, optional screen panels, and trim that matches your home. Use it for dining, lounging, or just staying dry and cool in summer. Our gazebos are framed to last and finished to blend with any landscape.

Your Layout. Your Look. Your Shade.

Custom Designs That Fit Your Yard and Use

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all structures. Every pergola, gazebo, or arbor we build starts with your goals—shade, privacy, plants, or just style. Then we frame it to match your layout, size, and budget. From wide patio covers to small garden accents, we build smart, clean, and strong.

Don't worry, we can help!

Clean Framing. Reliable Hardware. No Wobble Builds.

Your pergola or gazebo may look open—but it still needs to be rock solid. We set posts deep, use structural brackets, and finish with trim that lasts. No wobble, no warping, and no shortcuts.

  • Deck-mounted or concrete footings available

  • Routed edges and decorative details offered

  • Freestanding or connected framing with sealed posts

Add Interest, Add Function, Add Value

Backyard Structures That Look as Good as They Work

Shade structures don’t just add comfort—they elevate your entire yard. We help homeowners across Ohio turn blank patios into destination spaces with pergolas and gazebos that bring purpose to outdoor areas. Whether you want a quiet corner, a garden gateway, or a gathering spot, we’ll frame and finish it to fit.

FAQs About Pergolas, Gazebos & Arbors in Ohio

Here’s what homeowners typically ask when planning a custom shade structure in Ohio.

Can I attach a pergola to my house or deck?

Yes—we build both freestanding and attached options. We’ll inspect and frame accordingly for safe attachment.

Do I need a permit?

For most pergolas and gazebos, yes. We handle permitting, code checks, and inspections.

What’s the best material for longevity?

We recommend cedar or composite for weather resistance, or pressure-treated wood with a stain/seal finish.

Can I add a roof or screens later?

Absolutely. Many clients start with a pergola and later convert it into a roofed or screened structure.
