Pergolas

Custom Pergolas in Kelowna & West Kelowna, BC

Shade you can sit under on a July afternoon. We build custom pergolas on new decks, existing patios and concrete pads, sized to your space and designed to look like they were always part of the house.

Built for the Okanagan

Why a Pergola Earns Its Keep in the Okanagan

Okanagan summers are long, hot and bright. An open patio or deck in full sun can be too hot to use for much of the afternoon, and a well-placed pergola changes that.

Many homes here already have a concrete patio. In a lot of cases we can build a pergola straight onto it, which keeps the cost down. We check the pad at the site visit to make sure it can carry the posts.

Shade where you sit

We place the pergola around the afternoon sun, not just the middle of the yard.

Uses what you have

Existing pads and decks can often take a pergola without new concrete work.

Room to add on

Lighting, screens or a cover can be planned in from the start.

Pricing

How Much Does a Pergola Cost?

As a guide, a custom pergola like our recent build on an existing concrete pad runs around $15,000 CAD. Size, materials and site conditions move that up or down.

We quote every pergola in person after seeing the space, so the number you get is for your yard, not a brochure.

  • •Size and height
  • •Freestanding or attached
  • •Building on an existing pad or a new base
  • •Materials and finish
  • •Add-ons like lighting, screens or a cover

We had an incredible experience working with Keaton and Brandon from EcoHaven Sustainable Homes. They transformed our backyard by installing a large 20’x30’ concrete pad, textured to perfectly match our existing patio, and building a beautiful custom 20’x14’ cedar pergola on top. They also added cedar hedging to both ends of our yard, planted feature trees, and completely re-did our irrigation system to fit the new layout. Our backyard access is challenging since it’s walkout height from the second floor, but that was no problem for their team. From the start, Keaton stood out with his strong communication and engagement. He listened to our vision, provided great ideas, and brought it all to life better than we imagined. What impressed us most was how quickly everything came together and the outstanding quality of the finished product. We are absolutely thrilled with our new backyard oasis. Highly recommend Keaton, Brandon, and their team!

Keaton was amazing! He came out prior to the job to ensure everything was lined up for success and he walked us through a couple of scenarios that would work for us. He listened and understood what we were after and he delivered. He worked with other local contractors to ensure our vision came to life. EcoHaven is local, professional and the way to go!

Yes. Planning both together is the easiest way to do it, because the deck framing can be designed to carry the posts.
