PERGOLAS

Pergolas
Pergolas are a beautiful, timeless and value-adding outdoor structure, and Design Decks and Pergolas is your premier resource for designing and creating the pergola you’ve always wanted. We’re not just any pergola builder in Northern Colorado, we have many years of experience and our company is owner-operated by a master carpenter, which ensures you’re never just another customer. We pride ourselves in developing personal relationships with each and every client during the design and building of pergolas and other outdoor structures so your exact specifications are met. There are a number of options you can choose from in the design of your pergola. For example, you may choose to have one of these custom shade structures as an extension of your home, or you may also decide on having a free-standing pergola.

What Makes Pergolas Special

What makes a pergola special? We all have different ideas about what constitutes as something ‘special’. For some, it is the feeling of being one with nature that they get when they are sitting under the shade of a tree. Others might see a pergola and think “wow, this would be perfect for our wedding ceremony.” What do you think?

Pergolas add a whole new dimension to your outdoor living space. They are a beautiful place for you and your family, friends or guests to gather with plenty of shade to cool you off on a hot summer day.

Most people think that pergolas only provide protection from the sun’s harmful rays but they also provide so much more than just shelter:

  • Pergolas are perfect for outdoor dining areas or lounging in the shade.
  • With a pergola, you get an extra room without any of the hassle.
  • You can enjoy your private time out on your deck more with less sun exposure and privacy from neighbors overhanging trees.
  • The open air design, makes pergolas a great space for entertaining.
  • Pergolas are amazing to create the perfect outdoor living area by adding lighting and landscaping.
  • Plus, these structures provide an additional home or function in other areas of your property such as grilling stations or dining room patios with extra seating capacity.

Colors are the defining factor for almost all home designs. The impressive news is Pergolas have various stain options to choose from!

We have many options of Pergolas. Our most popular pergola is formed by four evenly spaced vertical posts that are then crossed by beams and an open lattice. Whether you are looking for a pergola that is attached to your house or a stand-alone piece, Design Decking and Pergolas can build it…

Free Standing Pergola

Freestanding pergolas have two beams that are parallel to each other and four posts. A freestanding pergola can be built anywhere in the garden, and is especially popular over decks and outdoor kitchens.

Attached Pergola

An attached pergola has the ledger anchored to the wall framing, which means one side is attached to the house. This type of pergola requires less posts than a free standing pergola.

Lattice (Slatted) Options

Lattice is the most popular of Pergolas. Its openness helps you get into that natural feel. Slatted pergolas come in different types—each with their unique benefits.

Differences between these types all depend on the distance of slats. Some provide more shade, others, less. Note that the lengths stated are pointing to space in between slats.

  • 2 Inch Spacing – This option has the most shade, blocking out 60% of the sun
  • 4 Inch Spacing – Blocks out 50% of total sunlight.
  • 6 Inch Spacing – Blocks out just 40% of full sunlight.

 

Slatted pergolas are great for people who love some nice breeze circulating around. With its partially opened roofing, air moves freely beneath the slats., which makes slatted pergolas an excellent choice if you tend to relax outside during autumn months.
