Pergolas, Patio Covers & Outdoor Structures
Create comfortable outdoor living spaces with custom pergolas, patio covers, and shade structures.
Pergolas, patio covers, and outdoor structures give you a comfortable place to enjoy your yard without full enclosure. They provide shade, define your outdoor space, and add visual appeal to your property. Whether you want a simple shade structure or an elaborate custom pergola, we can design and build it.
In Thousand Oaks, where sunshine is abundant, outdoor structures make your yard usable during the heat of the day. A well-designed pergola or patio cover lets you enjoy fresh air and natural light while staying protected from the sun's intensity. These structures are also more affordable than fully enclosed sunrooms, making them a smart choice for homeowners on a budget.
We've been building custom outdoor structures in Thousand Oaks since 2024. From modern pergolas to classic patio covers, we handle the entire process including design, permits, and installation. Learn more about our other services on our sunroom contractor homepage.
Types of Outdoor Structures We Build
Here are the most popular outdoor structures we install in Thousand Oaks.
Pergolas
Pergolas are open structures with a slatted roof that provides partial shade. They're perfect for creating a defined outdoor living area where you can place seating, dining furniture, or a fire pit. Pergolas can be freestanding or attached to your home, and they come in wood, vinyl, or aluminum.
Patio Covers
Patio covers have a solid roof that blocks sun and rain completely. They're ideal if you want full protection from the elements while still enjoying an open-air feel. Patio covers are great for dining areas, outdoor kitchens, or anywhere you want guaranteed shade.
Shade Structures
Shade structures include things like gazebos, pavilions, and custom designs. These can be simple or elaborate depending on your needs. Shade structures are often used for entertaining, relaxing, or creating focal points in your landscaping.
- •Pergolas: Partial shade, open design, great for defining spaces.
- •Patio Covers: Full sun and rain protection, ideal for outdoor kitchens.
- •Custom Structures: Gazebos, pavilions, and unique designs tailored to your yard.
If you want more protection from the weather, consider a patio enclosure or screen room instead.
Benefits of Outdoor Structures
Adding a pergola, patio cover, or shade structure to your property comes with several advantages.
Increased Usable Outdoor Space
Without shade, your patio or yard can be too hot to enjoy during the day. A pergola or patio cover makes the space comfortable and usable even when the sun is out. You'll spend more time outside and get more value from your property.
Enhanced Curb Appeal
Outdoor structures add visual interest to your yard. A well-designed pergola or patio cover can make your home look more upscale and inviting. This is especially important if you plan to sell your home in the future.
Affordable Upgrade
Compared to building a full sunroom or home addition, pergolas and patio covers are budget-friendly. You get a functional outdoor space without the high cost of enclosed structures.
Flexible Design Options
Outdoor structures can be customized to match your home's style. Choose from different materials, colors, and designs to create a look that fits your vision. You can also add features like lighting, fans, or retractable canopies for more functionality.
