What Are Decks and Pergolas?
Decks are raised platforms made from wood or composite materials. A deck creates a solid space for sitting, dining, or relaxing outdoors.
Pergolas are overhead structures that offer shade and style. A pergola can be freestanding or attached to your home. It can also be installed directly on top of your deck.
When you combine a deck and pergola, you create an outdoor room. This space feels comfortable and private. It protects you from strong sunlight. It makes your outdoor space more welcoming in every season.
