Wood Outdoor Pergolas

We use wood pergolas and offer a variety of styles you can take inspiration from. Red cedar offers a beautiful look, easy and lightweight installation, and natural resistance to moisture and pests. Its biggest disadvantage is the higher price point.
A minimalist pergola design includes straight lines, a simplistic style, and no frills or extravagant customizations. It’s a great fit for modern homes or small spaces. It can still provide all the shade and protection you need but doesn’t distract from outdoor furniture, landscaping, or your beautiful surroundings.
Modern pergolas focus on clean lines and spaces that can perform multiple functions. For example, you may choose to hang simple light fixtures so you can use the space at all times of day. It could also include retractable shades of a solid color.
The boho style focuses on a cozy and eclectic design that makes your outdoor space feel like a peaceful retreat. It incorporates simple textiles, hanging plants, and a mix of vintage and modern furniture to produce an effect that spans multiple eras.
Custom-Designed Backyard Pergolas
How can you use a customized backyard pergola on your property? The following ideas offer only a few of the most popular options. With our help, you’ll only feel limited by your imagination.

Patio Spaces
A pergola remains a popular way of covering backyard patios. If you opt for a model that provides shade, you can functionally expand your living space to the outdoors.
For a pergola that you install close to the home, you want a wood choice and other style options that complement your home. Our designers can help you integrate the covering perfecting into your existing aesthetic.
2
Outdoor Fireplaces
If you have a fire pit, fireplace, or portable outdoor option, installing a protective but breathable pergola can help you enjoy it even when it rains. When it gets dark, you can draw the curtains for an even cozier or mystic ambiance. You can shut yourself off from the rest of the world and pretend you’re camping even in the center of the city.
3
Dining and Kitchen Areas
An outdoor dining and kitchen area is the perfect place for summer dinner parties and backyard barbeques. Whether you opt for a simple grill or install an entire kitchen, adding a pergola adds to both the atmosphere and the functionality.
You can enjoy dinner with your guests or family even in light rain. If you want the capacity to enjoy more time outside while remaining comfortable, you’ll love the pairing of an outdoor eating space and pergola.
4
Kid-Friendly
If you want to entice your kids to spend more time outside, consider creating a dedicated, kid-friendly space for them with a pergola. They’ll feel more comfortable playing outside in the shade and you can add fun seating options, patterned curtains, and outdoor toys so they can feel creative and engaged while still enjoying the breeze and sunlight.
5
Walkway
Do you have a large yard with lots of landscaping or a garden with paved pathways where you love to wander? An extended pergola is the perfect addition and can help you enjoy your walkways even when it’s raining.
If you string lanterns or lights and interweave them along the pergola, you can stroll the path at night and feel as though you are among the fireflies or amidst the stars even on a cloudy night. Planting crawling fines can also help you incorporate it into the rest of the landscaping, and you’ll feel as though nature has reclaimed your little slice of heaven.
6
Hot Tub or Spa
Does the idea of an outdoor spa appeal to you? Consider adding a pergola over your hot tub and some other amenities to round out the ways it can provide you with comfort.
For example, even if you’re not a professional massage therapist, you can install a massage table near the hot tub and keep essential oils nearby. Once you’ve loosened up your muscles in the Jacuzzi, move to the table and exchange relaxing massages with your partner.
It also makes the perfect area for facials. Consider adding a sound system so you can play quiet instrumental music as you close your eyes and relax.
7
Poolside
If you have a pool, a pergola provides the perfect space for people who want to feel included in the fun without actually getting in the pool. You can provide the perfect place for them to read in the shade, enjoy a drink, and chat with the others who are keeping an eye on the swimming kids.
There’s no limit to the accessories you can add to a poolside pergola. Speak with our designers about creating the perfect space.
8
Decks
If you have a deck, you already have an extended living space, but heavy rain or intense sun can hinder your enjoyment. When you install a pergola, you increase how often you can enjoy your deck.
With the right accessories, you can maintain nuanced control over the environment. For example, if you’re reading a book and want to enjoy the breeze, leave the curtains open or draw them if you’re playing a card game.

Touchstone Dr., Maryville, TN Melinda Huskey2025-03-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is our second time working with Champion. This time we had a tree fall on a section of the fence. They were very quick to get back with us and to schedule the work. The crew came and fixed the fence good as new. Very straightforward. Easy to work with. Will use again if we ever need them. A+ Melanie Romesburg2025-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charlie and crew installed my new woven wire fence very efficiently. The crew removed my old fence quickly. Charlie consulted with me to confirm placement prior to starting. I did make a few adjustments from the original measurements and he was able to change it. He showed me the gates and how he had reinforced the bottom rail for my dog. The crew was courteous and had me inspect the fence after completion in case of anything that needed attention. I was very pleased with the new fence. This is the second time I have used this company
