The word “Pergola” derived from “Pergula,” a Latin word “Projecting Eave.” Black Built has built these structures in and around the Gulf Shores, Foley and Fairhope areas for customers covering walkways, decks, patios and as extensions to buildings and free standing in gardens.
A pergola extends your living space and increases the amount of time you can spend outside. Designed and oriented correctly on your lot, a pergola can cast enough light shade to make even a humid hot afternoon enjoyable or if you still need additional protection, we can install a retractable shade cover for more shade.
Black Built Construction also recommends Amish Country Gazebos pergolas built by skilled Amish Craftsmen in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They have a 10 year warranty against rot, termites and structural damage. Contact us for more information and experience the product quality, service and installation you deserve.
If you are considering the next addition to your landscape, consider Black Built Construction installing a pergola designed and built by a professional team.
Just for budgeting purposes pergolas can be built to any size and shape. They can be built with light to heavy timber and in many choices of materials giving them a very broad range in cost. Typically a pergola built right using treated timber will cost $10.00 to $25.00 per square foot. Our Outback Model measuring 24ft long x 10 wide is a heavy timber built pergola with 6x6 columns , 2x8 rafters with 2 on 45 degree design cut with 1 1/2 x 1 3/4 sun shade slats. This model starts out at $4450.00. If your wanting to add a 4 inch thick concrete slab under that design it will add an additional cost of $3350.00. If your wanting an all wood look instead of the concrete foundation one of our beautiful wood or composite decks will work great.
