Best-fit guidance
Built around the way you use the patio
A custom pergola adds structure without fully closing in the patio. It can frame an outdoor dining area, define a poolside lounge, soften a large yard, or create a more finished transition from the house to the landscape.
Pergola planning starts with sun direction, spacing, height, and the amount of shade you actually want. Open rafters feel lighter and more architectural, while tighter spacing, covers, or louvers can increase comfort. Wood, aluminum, and metal each change the look, maintenance profile, and detailing.

Planning notes
Confirm the details before final design
Freestanding and attached pergolas can trigger different questions around posts, footings, setbacks, HOA design rules, and utilities. Review those items early so the structure feels intentional and avoids late design changes.

Questions
Planning notes before you build
How much shade can a pergola provide?
Shade depends on rafter orientation, spacing, height, covers, and the sun angle. A pergola can provide filtered shade, while added cover or louver options can create more control.
Can a pergola be attached to the house?
Some pergolas can be attached, but the home structure, drainage, flashing, permit rules, and HOA requirements should be checked before choosing that layout.
