Custom Cedar Pergola with Privacy Screen – Denver, CO
Project Overview
This project involved the design and construction of a modern-style cedar pergola in Denver, Colorado. The client was looking to create a cozy, shaded outdoor space with a clean and minimalistic structure. We proposed a custom 10x14 pergola layout with one integrated privacy screen, built entirely from Western Red Cedar.
From Concept to Build
Before beginning construction, we created a detailed design concept — a visual rendering to show the client exactly what their pergola would look like. This ensured a shared vision, eliminated guesswork, and helped the client feel confident before the first board was cut.

What We Delivered
After the design approval, we proceeded with the build. The pergola itself was constructed from cedar and stained with a rich walnut-colored protective finish, as requested by the client. The privacy screen, which provides coverage on one side of the structure, was intentionally left in its natural cedar tone and sealed with a clear protective stain. This contrast between the deep walnut frame and the light-toned slatted screen gave the pergola a stylish, modern appeal.

Materials & Craftsmanship
We used only high-quality Western Red Cedar, chosen for its durability, stability, and resistance to the elements. Every cut and joint was made with precision to ensure structural integrity and a seamless appearance. The finishing stains used were outdoor-rated, protecting the structure while enhancing the natural grain of the wood.
