Pergolas in Baton Rouge, LA
Baton Rouge backyards get intense sun, and a pergola is the classic answer when you want shade without closing off the sky. We build heavy-timber pergolas — freestanding over a patio or pool deck, or tied into the back of the house — with slat spacing tuned to how much light you actually want coming through.
Baton Rouge Pergolas Built For Louisiana
Baton Rouge backyards get intense sun, and a pergola is the classic answer when you want shade without closing off the sky. We build heavy-timber pergolas — freestanding over a patio or pool deck, or tied into the back of the house — with slat spacing tuned to how much light you actually want coming through.
Unlike kit pergolas that warp within a couple of Louisiana summers, ours are built from oversized timbers with custom end cuts and elevated post bases that keep the wood off wet concrete. We build them throughout the capital area, including Baton Rouge, Central, Prairieville, and Gonzales, and finish them with stain or paint to match your home.
Why Baton Rouge Homeowners Choose Us
Timber sized for the long haul
We never build with undersized lumber that sags after a few humid seasons. Oversized beams and rafters keep the structure straight and solid for decades of Baton Rouge weather.
Shade dialed to your yard
Slat spacing determines how a pergola feels at 3 p.m. in July. We set the spacing and orientation around how your Baton Rouge patio faces the sun, from light dapple to deep shade.
Details that read custom, not kit
Custom rafter end cuts, concealed hardware, and a stain or paint finish matched to your exterior — the finishing touches that separate a built pergola from a bolted-together one.
Every Baton Rouge Pergolas Project Includes
- Custom dimensions — freestanding or tied into your home
- Heavy-timber beams that won't warp or sag
- Custom rafter end cuts, modern or traditional
- Slat spacing tuned to your preferred shade level
