What a pergola needs
Footings
Posts sit on footings, not just on patio stones, so wind and frost don't move them.
Bracing
Knee braces or rigid connections stop the frame from racking in wind.
Permits
Size, attachment and roof type decide whether a permit is needed. We confirm before we build.
Setbacks
Zoning rules set how close a pergola can be to property lines.
216 sq ft cedar pergola built off a 220 sq ft storage shed, Toronto
A 216 square foot cedar pergola carried off the side of a matching 220 square foot cedar storage shed in a Toronto backyard, built over a flagstone patio on 6x6 posts, so the shed and the shaded seating area read as one structure instead of two things sitting near each other.
