Sometimes the best laid plans of mice and men get complicated when Mother Nature is involved. Such is the case for this Round Rock TX backyard that enjoyed privacy and protection with a cedar pergola and a privacy wall. Then, an ice storm came; and it all needed to be replaced.

Before – the result of an ice storm.
As the stone patio and sink area were pre-existing, our team engineered a new pergola and privacy wall to give this outdoor living space a new lease on life.
At Archadeck We Well Understand The Importance And Fundamentals Of Designing And Constructing The Perfect Pergola
Here throughout Round Rock, our pergolas are much more than just a pretty face for your outdoor living deck or patio.
After- wow!
Often times, builders only use pergolas in their designs for solely cosmetic reasons. It is true that pergolas add dimension, vertical interest, and aesthetics to an outdoor living space. However, there is more to an Archadeck pergola than just a pretty face. Our pergolas are designed to not only add beauty but to add privacy, shade, protection from the elements and even help anchor your outdoor living area. The versatility and benefits of an Archadeck pergola are truly endless here in Round Rock.
Round Rock Shade Pergolas
A pergola offers great potential for providing shade depending on the specifications of its design. This is based on the distance between the cross beams that cover the upper portion of the pergola.
The construction of the pergola can be made more conducive to providing shade through the spacing between the cross beams located atop the pergola and by using wider rafters in the pergola design. The closer the beams are set, or the wider the rafters, the more sun protection your pergola will offer. All of these factors are influenced by the intended placement of your pergola in correlation to the direction and amount of sunlight your location receives.
Here throughout Round Rock, Archadeck can build your pergola with increased sun protection in mind while keeping the original design of your pergola intact. This may include integration of a Polygal cover into the design, curtains or blinds, as we have many options available which can be customized to bring the most shade and comfort to your pergola addition.
Round Rock Cedar Pergolas
Wooden pergolas, especially cedar, remain our most popular choice for Round Rock pergolas. Their rustic charm can add character and dimension to almost any outdoor structure.
Cedar always rises to the occasion in pergola design and construction. These 7 attributes are among its most favored aspects:
1. Natural Resistance to Decay and Insects: Cedar wood contains natural oils and compounds that make it resistant to decay and insect infestation. This natural resistance can extend the lifespan of your pergola, reducing the need for chemical treatments.
2. Durability: Cedar is a durable wood that can withstand the outdoor elements, including rain, sun, and wind. It is less prone to warping, twisting, or cracking compared to some other types of wood.
3. Lightweight: Cedar is relatively lightweight, making it easier to work with during construction. This can be an advantage if you want to minimize the structural load on your outdoor space.
4. Aesthetic Appeal: Cedar has a beautifully rich, distinct and attractive appearance with a natural reddish-brown hue that can enhance the overall aesthetics of your outdoor living space. Over time, cedar develops a charming grayish patina, if left untreated.
5. Lower Maintenance: Cedar requires minimal maintenance compared to other wood types. It naturally weathers well, and you can choose to leave it untreated, or apply a sealant or stain to maintain its original color.
6. Stability: Cedar has good dimensional stability, meaning it is less likely to shrink or expand significantly with changes in humidity or temperature. This stability will contribute to the overall structural integrity of the pergola.
7. Environmentally Friendly: Cedar is a renewable resource, as many suppliers practice sustainable forestry management. Choosing cedar for your pergola supports environmentally friendly building practices. Furthermore, it is a delight to all the senses. Cedar wood has a pleasant natural scent that acts as a natural insect repellent. This will enhance your outdoor experience by discouraging pests from the area.
