Pergolas FAQs
Does a pergola provide shade?+
A pergola provides filtered shade through its rafter spacing. For more shade, rafters can be spaced closer or shade panels added.
Can a pergola be attached to my house?+
Yes, when the structure allows. We assess the attachment point and ensure proper flashing and structural tie-in.
