Style, Shade & Structure — All in One

Pergolas, Gazebos & Arbors in South Carolina

Build More Than Shade — Create a Focal Point

Why Pergolas, Gazebos & Arbors Are Smart Additions

These structures aren’t just functional — they define space, create visual appeal, and add value. Pergolas provide open shade and can support climbing vines or lights. Gazebos offer full coverage and 360° views. Arbors frame walkways or entries with classic charm. Whether freestanding or built into your deck, each option boosts curb appeal while improving outdoor comfort.

Custom Framing. Seamless Integration.

What’s Included in Our Outdoor Structure Builds

We offer fully custom pergolas, gazebos, and arbors designed to fit your space and stand up to the elements. Materials include pressure-treated pine, cedar, composite, or aluminum — all built to code and anchored to last. We match trim, shape, and finishes to your home or landscape. Whether attached to your deck or standing on its own, we make it look like it belongs.

Shade You Can See — and Feel

Pergolas Add Beauty Without Full Coverage

Pergolas provide partial shade while maintaining an open-air feel. They're ideal for sunny decks, patios, and poolside retreats where you want filtered light, architectural flair, and support for vines or lighting. We custom-frame each one to fit your space, with post placement, beam spacing, and wood species selected to suit your style and South Carolina’s weather.

Gazebos Create Instant Backyard Retreats

A gazebo offers a fully covered outdoor space — great for hosting, dining, or just relaxing with full protection from sun and rain. Whether open-sided or screened-in, we build gazebos with detailed roofing, railings, and flooring to match your backyard’s character. From coastal gardens to wooded backyards, they’re perfect for adding year-round function and elegance.

Small Structure. Big Impact.

Arbors That Guide, Frame & Enhance

An arbor may be smaller than a pergola or gazebo, but its effect is just as strong. These classic archways define entry points, walkways, or garden edges. They’re great for climbing plants or decorative lighting and are often added as visual accents to larger deck or yard designs. We build every arbor for symmetry, strength, and lasting charm.

What Homeowners Across South Carolina Want to Know

Considering a new shade or garden structure? These are the questions we hear most from local homeowners.

What’s the difference between a pergola and gazebo?

Can you attach a pergola to my existing deck?

We build with pressure-treated wood, cedar, composite, or aluminum — depending on the look and maintenance level you want.
