ProfessionalPergola Assembly
A pergola transforms a plain backyard into an outdoor room — but assembling one involves heavy beams, post anchors, and hardware that requires a methodical approach. We build prefabricated pergolas from start to finish so the structure is plumb, square, and safe to put a roof on later.

Simple & stress-free
How it works
Layout & anchor posts
We mark the post positions using a tape and square, install the ground anchors or deck brackets, and set the posts plumb before moving to the horizontal members.
Attach beams & rafters
We lift the main beams onto the posts, secure the lag screws or bolt hardware, and install the decorative rafter ends in the correct orientation.
Square & finish
We measure diagonals to confirm the structure is square, torque all hardware to spec, and confirm the completed pergola is rigid and stable.
We can help
Problems we fix
- Posts set without checking for square — the entire structure parallelogram-shifts
- Rafter decorative ends installed alternating wrong directions — mismatched look
- Lag screws driven before pre-drilling — post tops split
- Post anchor bolts not fully tightened into the deck ledger

Pergola Assembly — FAQ
Do you install pergolas on wood decks or concrete patios?
Both. Wood decks use structural lag bolts through the decking into the framing. Concrete patios require concrete anchor bolts. We carry hardware for both.
Can you attach a shade sail or polycarbonate roof to the pergola at the same time?
Yes. If the material is on site, we install the shade sail or roof panels as part of the same job.
How many people do you send for a large pergola?
Pergolas over 12 feet wide typically need two people to safely lift beams. We assess the size at booking and staff accordingly.
