Pergolas for Backyard Patios

A patio with no shade is a patio nobody uses in July. Here is how a pergola turns bare concrete into the favorite room of the house.

Most backyard patios start as a slab of concrete off the back door. Add a table and chairs and you get a hot, bright spot that is hard to enjoy. A pergola changes that. It gives the patio a ceiling, filters the sun and defines the space so it feels like a room outside.

We size the pergola to the patio and the furniture, place posts so they do not block doors or views and match the style to the house. We can attach it to the wall or let it stand free, and we plan lights, fans and plants so the finished space is ready for real use.

Best for

  • Owners with a bare concrete patio
  • Families who want a shaded dining spot
  • New homeowners improving the yard
  • Anyone who wants more use from the patio

Backyard Patios FAQ

Can a pergola attach to my patio?
