Pergolas and Covers in Manchester NH

A pergola or deck cover can make your outdoor space more comfortable and give you more options for using it throughout the day. Whether you want some shade over your seating area, a little protection from the weather, or a defined space for grilling and entertaining, we can build a structure that works with your existing deck and home. We’ll help you choose a style and design that makes sense for your space without adding unnecessary features or making the project more complicated than it needs to be.


Steps to Getting a Pergola

Getting a pergola or cover starts with figuring out what you want it to do. We’ll look at your deck, available space, and the placement of your home before discussing options for size, materials, and design. From there, we’ll work through the details and build the structure to fit your space.

  1. Talk about your needs: We’ll discuss how you plan to use the space and what you want your pergola or cover to provide.
  2. Plan the design: We’ll look at the available space and help determine the right size, layout, and materials.
  3. Choose your features: Decide on details such as roofing, posts, finishes, and other features that fit your preferences.
  4. Build the structure: Once everything is planned out, we’ll build your pergola or cover and make sure it works properly with your deck and home.

Signs You May Need a Pergola or Deck Cover

You don't necessarily need a huge backyard or elaborate outdoor setup to benefit from a pergola or cover. If you find yourself avoiding your deck because of the sun or weather, adding some overhead coverage could make a big difference. It may be worth considering if:

  • Your deck gets too much direct sun: A shaded area can make your deck much more comfortable during the warmer months.
  • You avoid the deck during bad weather: A cover can provide some protection from rain and other elements.
  • You want a better entertaining space: Overhead coverage can help create a more comfortable area for meals, grilling, and gatherings.
  • Your deck feels unfinished: A pergola can add some structure and visual interest without completely enclosing the space.
  • You want to spend more time outside: Creating a more comfortable space can make your deck useful for more of the day.

Customizations That Match Your Needs 

Every backyard is a little different, so your pergola or cover shouldn't have to be one-size-fits-all. We can customize the size, layout, materials, and overall design to work with your home and existing deck. Whether you want a simple pergola for some shade or a more substantial covered area, we'll help you choose features that make sense for how you plan to use the space. The goal is to build something that looks like it belongs with your home and gives you the outdoor space you actually want.

Benefits of Pergolas and Covers: Shade and UV Protection

  • UV Shielding

    Shade from direct UV rays are important to protect you and your family. They also preserve the life of your deck boards from looking aged or weathered.


  • Extended Living Space

    With a custom outdoor structure, your deck becomes a true extension of your living space. Whether you envision a quiet corner for reading, a shaded area for outdoor meals, or a comfortable place to gather with family and friends, we can help create a space designed around the way you enjoy your home.


  • Preservation of Furniture

    Harsh sunlight can harm deck furniture. It can make cushions fade and start to deteriorate.
