Common questions
How much does a pergola cost in Middle Tennessee?
A freestanding cedar or pressure-treated pergola typically runs $6,000–$14,000 depending on size and design. Attached pergolas with ledger connections and flashing cost a bit more. We give you a fixed written quote upfront.
What is the typical size?
Most pergolas run 12x16 to 16x20 feet. We size them based on the space and the use — sitting area, dining area, or full outdoor room. Custom sizes are no problem.
Can you attach a pergola to my house?
Yes. We use a proper ledger connection with flashing to prevent water intrusion at the house wall. This is the detail most contractors skip — we do not.
How long does it take to build a pergola?
Most pergolas take three to five days to build once materials are on-site. We do not start until everything is ready so your yard is not tied up longer than it needs to be.
What are the setback rules for pergolas in Tennessee?
Freestanding pergolas are typically treated as accessory structures and must be set back at least 5 to 10 feet from property lines depending on your municipality. Attached pergolas follow the same setback rules as the house itself. We verify the specific requirements for your property and jurisdiction before designing your structure.
Does a pergola need to meet wind load requirements?
Yes. Structures in Tennessee are designed to meet local wind load requirements — typically 90 mph in Middle Tennessee. This affects how posts are anchored, how beams are connected, and the hardware we specify. We do not guess at this — we build pergolas that meet code and hold up to Tennessee weather.
