Custom Pergolas: Define Your Outdoor Space with Style

Create a stunning focal point and a comfortable, shaded retreat in your backyard with a custom-built pergola from Guerrero Fences. A pergola is a beautiful architectural feature that defines an open-air room, adding a touch of elegance and structure to any patio, deck, or garden. Its slatted roof is perfectly designed to provide welcome relief from the direct South Texas sun while still allowing for a bright, airy atmosphere. It’s the ideal way to create a sophisticated and comfortable space for outdoor dining, lounging, and entertaining. 🌿

The Perfect Blend of Sun, Shade, and Style

A pergola offers a unique set of benefits that make it a perfect addition to any RGV backyard. Its primary function is to create dappled shade, breaking up the intense sun and making the space beneath it significantly more comfortable without the deep darkness of a solid roof. The posts and beams of a pergola create the feel of an outdoor room, defining your seating or dining area with purpose and style. This stunning structure not only enhances your outdoor living experience but also serves as a major architectural upgrade that adds significant value to your home.

Materials Built to Last in the Texas Sun

An open-air structure like a pergola is constantly exposed to the elements, so choosing a durable, high-performance material is essential. We build our pergolas with two excellent wood options:

  • Western Red Cedar: The premium choice for its breathtaking natural beauty and longevity. Cedar is the ideal material for a pergola because it’s naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insects. It’s also incredibly stable, meaning it’s far less likely to warp or twist in the Texas heat, keeping your structure looking straight and true.

  • Pressure-Treated Pine: A strong, reliable, and cost-effective option that offers fantastic durability. Its protective treatment provides a powerful defense against termites and rot. A pine pergola can be stained in a variety of colors or painted to perfectly match your home’s exterior.

Custom Designs to Fit Your Space

Every pergola we build is custom-designed to fit your property and your needs. We can build a freestanding pergola anywhere in your yard to create a special destination, or an attached pergola that extends directly from your home to cover a patio. The amount of shade can be customized by adjusting the size, angle, and spacing of the top slats. For even more versatility, we can also incorporate:

  • Retractable Shade Canopies for adjustable sun protection.

  • Polycarbonate Covers to provide rain protection while letting light through.

  • Decorative Post Ends and Braces for added architectural detail.
