What’s included

What a pergola project
includes.

As a pergola builder in King City, we settle height, slat spacing and a traditional, modern or rustic style in one drawing, then size the cedar frame to the lot as well as to the patio. The posts go in where the ground drains, and the cedar is stained once the frame is up.

  1. Design

    Drawn before it goes up, at a size and in a spot that suit what’s underneath.

    • Post layout and height
    • Attached or freestanding
    • Traditional, modern or rustic styling
    • A rendering to review

  2. Construction

    A cedar build, done on site and finished in your choice of stain.

    • Cedar posts and beams
    • Rafters and top slats
    • Footings or anchoring to a deck
    • Stain

  3. Features

    What makes it usable into the evening and from the neighbour’s side.

    • Lighting
    • Fans
    • Privacy screens
    • Railings

  4. Renovation and upkeep

    Where the pergola needs care, and a new one isn’t called for.

    • Repairs
    • Re-staining
    • Waterproofing

Cedar pergola with open rafters and a slatted screen over a stone terrace with cream outdoor seating.
01Pergolas

Cedar, stone terrace

An open frame for the garden

A cedar pergola frames a sitting area, with a slatted screen for privacy.

Open rafters let the light through, and the screen shelters the back of the terrace, so the seating stays part of the garden.

Cedar, black metal

From the deck to the lawn

Broad cedar steps and a slim black railing connect the deck to the yard.

The steps span the width of the seating area above them, and a flagstone landing meets them at the lawn.

Cedar, pale stone

A connected backyard

Cedar decking steps down to a stone patio and a garden beyond.

The back door, the table and the garden work as one space, and a slim black railing keeps the view from the deck open.

Pale stone, charcoal band

Stone beneath the table

A pale stone patio with a charcoal border and a green garden edge.

The slabs run from the back steps to the dining table, and planted beds soften the line where the patio meets the garden.

Pavers, stone steps

A clear path to the door

Interlocking paving and broad stone steps shape the front entrance.

The darker border keeps the walk crisp against the lawn, and planting softens both sides of it.

Cedar, shingles

Room under the roof

A cedar pavilion makes space for dining outside, under a timber roof.

The shingled gable rests on heavy timber posts, set on stone paving among the planting.

Permits for a King City pergola

Two offices can have a say. The Township of King decides whether your design needs a building permit, so we take the drawing to it before building. The other is the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority: on a lot in a TRCA Regulated Area, building any structure, a pergola included, needs its permit as well. We check the mapping for your address while the design is still on paper.

TRCA, apply for a permit ↗

What a pergola builder in King City designs for

King has no entry in the SB-1 climatic tables of the Building Code, so the values a pergola is designed to vary with where the property sits, its known weather and local experience. An open lot with nothing between it and the wind can call for heavier posts and stronger connections than a sheltered one. Wet weather is the other thing the design answers to: the moraine lifts air from Lake Ontario over King City and brings it regular precipitation, so drainage decides where each post base sits.

Proportion, as much as strength. Post thickness and how far the rafters overhang decide whether the pergola looks like part of the house or something set down beside it, and the rendering shows that against your own walls. Lights, a fan or a screen are settled in the same drawing, while the posts and beams can still hide the wiring.
