Add Shade, Charm, and Structure to Your Outdoor Living

Pergolas, Gazebos & Arbors

Designed for Missouri Weather and Outdoor Living

Custom-Built Shade Structures for Any Outdoor Area

We build pergolas, gazebos, and arbors that bring structure to open-air spaces. Whether you want filtered sunlight over a deck, full shade on a patio, or a beautiful entryway for your yard, our designs are sized, styled, and finished to match your home.

Cedar, Composite, or Aluminum—Your Choice

Materials That Match Your Maintenance Goals

From classic cedar to low-maintenance composite and powder-coated aluminum, we build shade structures in the material that fits your look and lifestyle. We’ll guide you through what works best for your space, sun exposure, and upkeep preferences.

Freestanding or attached builds available

Can be added to patios, decks, or lawns

Shade Without Shutting Out the Outdoors

Let In the Breeze, Block the Blinding Sun

Pergolas and arbors give you partial cover—enough to cool things down without enclosing the space. Perfect for sunny spots where you want airflow and light, not a full roof. We build with proper spacing, bracing, and height so your structure performs and impresses.

Gazebos Add Shelter and Centerpiece Appeal

Need full coverage? We build custom gazebos with pitched or flat roofs, railings, and built-in seating. Whether it’s a shaded dining space or a garden focal point, our gazebos are weather-rated, anchored securely, and finished to match your home or landscape.

More Than Just Shade—These Structures Define Space

Create Zones for Gathering, Entry, or Relaxing

A well-placed pergola or arbor adds structure and purpose to your backyard. Frame an entry path, define a fire pit zone, or add vertical interest to a flat patio. These builds aren’t just functional—they bring balance and beauty to outdoor layouts.

Why Add a Pergola, Gazebo, or Arbor?

  • Shade That Breathes: Pergolas offer cooling shade without closing off light or airflow.

  • Backyard Focal Points: Gazebos and arbors create natural gathering spots and eye-catching style.

  • Custom Size & Style: Every structure is tailored to your space, layout, and materials.

  • Add Function to Open Space: Turn empty lawn or patio areas into usable zones for relaxing or hosting.

  • Low Maintenance Options: Composite and aluminum builds resist rot, rust, and insect damage for years.

Don't worry, we can help!

Designed for Function, Built to Last

We design each shade structure to perform—not just look good. That means deep footings, structural anchoring, weather-rated materials, and finishes that withstand sun, wind, and moisture. No warping. No wobbling. No seasonal tear-downs.

Shade Structures That Stand Out

A pergola or gazebo isn’t just practical—it’s a visual upgrade. Whether you're hosting a dinner, reading under the vines, or framing a walkway, these builds make your yard feel finished and intentional. We’ll help you pick the right fit for your outdoor vision.

Pergolas, Gazebos, and Arbors—What to Know

Answers About Styles, Materials, and Durability

These shade structures come with lots of style options—but also practical questions. Whether you're wondering how they handle wind or what materials last longest, here are the facts you need before building.

Do I need a permit to build a pergola or gazebo?

In most areas, yes—especially for structures over a certain height or square footage. We handle permitting.

What's the difference between a pergola and gazebo?

Pergolas offer open-air shade with slatted roofs. Gazebos have solid, often pitched roofs for full coverage.

Can pergolas be installed on decks?

Yes. We anchor them into framing or concrete footings to ensure safety and longevity.

What material is best for low maintenance?

Aluminum and composite need the least upkeep. Cedar offers beauty but needs staining or sealing.
