Pergolas, Gazebos & Arborsin Vermont

Not Just Decorative—Built to Perform

Structural Shade You Can Rely On

Our outdoor structures are made for real Vermont weather—not just summer photo shoots. We use pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and composite options that resist rot, UV damage, and warping. From open-air lattice tops to fully roofed gazebos, each build is carefully anchored and constructed to last. Whether freestanding or attached to a deck, every project is engineered to meet code and customized to fit your space perfectly.

Built Around Your Backyard Vision

What We Design and Build

Whether it’s a statement-making gazebo, a shaded pergola over your deck, or a decorative arbor leading into the garden, we tailor each structure to your layout and style. From classic square layouts to arched or curved profiles, we offer design flexibility with top-tier craftsmanship. You choose the material, shape, and level of coverage—then we bring it to life with strong joinery and weather-smart details built for Vermont conditions.

More Than Shade—More Than Style

How These Features Improve Your Outdoor Space

Pergolas, gazebos, and arbors create structure and dimension in your landscape. They frame views, define zones, and guide movement—adding beauty with purpose. These features also improve comfort by adding partial or full shade and can support lighting, fans, or climbing plants. With the right design, your pergola or gazebo becomes a destination, not just an accent. Our team helps you blend visual appeal with function to get more out of every square foot outdoors.

Materials That Look Great and Last Long

We build using the materials that make sense for Vermont’s climate—cedar for natural resistance, pressure-treated lumber for budget-friendly durability, or composite for zero-maintenance performance. All fasteners and anchors are corrosion-resistant, and joints are reinforced for wind and snow load stability. Whether you're building a small arbor or a large entertainment pavilion, you get lasting quality and timeless style that stands up to our long winters and wet springs.

From Sketch to Showpiece

Our Outdoor Structure Building Process

Your project begins with a design consultation where we review your space, goals, and inspiration. Then we create a layout and material list based on site conditions and local codes. Once approved, we handle all prep, delivery, and construction—digging footings, assembling frames, adding finishes, and cleaning up. Each build is fast, neat, and done by our in-house Vermont crews. You’ll end up with a structure that’s ready to use—and built to impress.

Pergola, Gazebo & Arbor FAQs

Considering a garden structure for your outdoor space? Here are common questions Vermont homeowners ask about these shade and accent features.

Question 1: What’s the difference between a pergola, gazebo, and arbor?

Pergolas provide open shade with a slatted top, gazebos are roofed and often enclosed, and arbors are small entry structures—usually decorative or plant-supporting.

Question 2: Can these be added to an existing deck or patio?

Yes. We anchor structures to existing surfaces or build freestanding versions depending on layout and support.

Question 3: Do these require permits in Vermont?

Most freestanding arbors and pergolas under a certain size do not, but larger gazebos and attached structures typically do. We handle permits for you.
