Cedar Pergola Provides the Ultimate Cozy Outdoor Living Space

The homeowners had a concrete patio that was underused due to the intense Colorado sun. Following our consultation, we embarked on a transformative project, creating a Cedar pergola to provide shade and turn the patio into the outdoor living space they had always envisioned. The pergola, constructed from rough-sawn Cedar with sturdy 6” x 6” posts and 2” x 10” rafters, was then stained to match the house with PPG Buckskin solid-body stain.

Thrilled with their new shaded area, the homeowners now have a beautiful, comfortable outdoor living space perfect for relaxation and entertaining.

Additionally, we installed a compact 10′ x 16′ deck on the opposite side of the house. Using MoistureShield Meridian Citadel decking and a Fortress Fe26 Traditional powder-coated railing in Black Sand, the deck adds another layer of functionality and charm to their outdoor living experience.
