Cedar Pergola Provides the Ultimate Cozy Outdoor Living Space
These homeowners had a concrete patio that they rarely used because of the sun. After speaking with them, we undertook a transformative project, designing a new Cedar pergola that would provide shade. This allowed them to create the outdoor living space they had always dreamed of when building the house. The pergola is rough-sawn Cedar with 6” x 6” posts and 2” x 10” rafters. We then stained it with PPG Buckskin solid-body stain. The homeowners are thrilled with their new outdoor living space and have created a beautiful and comfortable area for relaxing and entertaining!
We also added a small 10′ x 16′ deck on the other side of the house. The decking material is MoistureShield Meridian Citadel with a Fortress Fe26 Traditional powder-coated deck railing in Black Sand.
