Why homeowners choose pergolas
Shade that defines the space—without closing it in.
A pergola helps your patio feel like a true outdoor room—comfortable, defined, and still open to light and airflow. It’s especially effective over seating areas, dining tables, and outdoor kitchens where you want shade without closing the space in.
Whether it’s over a patio, integrated with a deck, or positioned to frame an entry, the right layout balances shade, circulation, and views—so the space gets used more often.
Best when you want comfortable shade and an open-air feel.
Pergolas create structure and relief from direct sun while keeping breezes and daylight—perfect for everyday outdoor living.

Styles and configurations
Pergola options tailored to your home and how you use the space.
Each pergola style is designed with comfort, scale, and everyday use in mind. Once you choose the look you like, we adjust the footprint, placement, and features so the shade works where you need it most.
Classic Pergolas
A classic pergola design that provides consistent shade with a familiar, comfortable look. It complements many home styles and outdoor settings while creating a shaded space that feels natural and easy to use.
Well-suited for patios and yards where a timeless, easygoing look feels right.
Contemporary Pergolas
A contemporary pergola designed to provide comfortable shade with a clean, modern appearance. It fits naturally with newer homes and outdoor areas that favor a simple, updated aesthetic.
Designed for outdoor areas where simplicity and structure matter.
Operable Louvered Pergolas
An operable pergola option that lets you adjust shade and sun as conditions change. When closed, the louvers can also help deflect rain, making the space more comfortable to use during light or passing showers.
Ideal for homeowners who want adjustable shade and added flexibility.
Attached or Freestanding
Designed to integrate naturally with your property.
Pergolas can be configured as an attached pergola (including a wall mounted pergola) that ties into your home, or as a freestanding pergola that functions like a pavilion-style shade structure elsewhere in the yard. We can also design pergolas on decks and help you plan how to attach a pergola to a deck based on layout, circulation, and how you want the outdoor space to feel.
From a small backyard pergola to large outdoor pergolas designed for entertaining, we’ll recommend a footprint that makes sense for your furniture plan, traffic paths, and the way you actually use your patio.
Engineered aluminum performance
Extruded aluminum, clean connections, and low-maintenance durability.
TEMO pergolas are built from precision-engineered, extruded aluminum designed for long-term outdoor performance. Aluminum resists rot, warping, and deterioration, allowing the structure to remain stable and visually clean through seasonal changes and weather exposure.
Each system uses consistent components and clean structural connections, which results in a pergola that feels solid, intentional, and well-finished. The low-maintenance nature of aluminum means less upkeep over time and more confidence in how the structure will age.

Questions as you plan
Pergola FAQs.
Here are a few common questions homeowners ask when comparing attached vs freestanding layouts, louvered pergola options, and placement for patios and decks.
Do aluminum pergolas require much maintenance?
Aluminum is naturally low maintenance compared to wood—no rot and no repaint cycle typical of wood structures. Most owners simply do periodic cleaning like any outdoor feature.
What’s the difference between attached and freestanding pergolas?
An attached pergola (including wall mounted pergola configurations) connects to the home and often feels more integrated with the patio. A freestanding pergola is pavilion-style and can be placed where shade is needed most, even away from the home.
Can you build pergolas on decks?
Yes, in many cases. We evaluate deck structure, load paths, and layout, then design the attachment and footing plan so the pergola integrates properly and feels stable.
Are operable louvered pergolas worth it?
If you want adjustable shade throughout the day, an operable pergola can be a great fit. Motorized louvered pergola options can make daily use easy, especially in high-sun areas or with passing rain showers.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval?
It depends on your location, size, and attachment method. We can help with permit requirements and provide the documentation HOAs typically request.
How long does a pergola project usually take?
Timelines vary by configuration, permitting, and scheduling. We’ll provide a realistic project timeline after a site visit and scope review.
