We recently constructed this cedar arbor for one of our customers in Allen, TX. The overall size is 14'x14'. We installed four 6"x6" cedar posts, 2"x10" beams, 2"x6" rafters, and 2"x2" slats on top for shade. Afterwards, we applied an oil based stain. We normally use pre-stained cedar but due to a shortage from our supplier we did it old school. Either way, this job turned out great and our customer is really happy. This is what he texted me:

"Job looks great. Looks solid. Feels good."

Patio Cover in Plano

One project always seems to add to another, and this one is no different. After we installed a new patio slab, our customers needed a patio cover to enjoy their backyard. Here are some of the pictures of that project. 
This process involved cutting into the roof to connect our new rafters to the existing rafters, installing a temporary post and connecting our new beam to the existing beam. Once those things were in place we installed our new rafters, decking, felt, and roll roofing. We made sure to create a good connection to avoid roof leaks. After that we installed the fascia, patio ceiling, gutters, and brick around the wood post. Finally, we painted the entire structure to match the home. The finished project looks great!

Patio Structure

When it comes to back patios and decks, the lack of shade can be a major deterrent to spending time outside. If a cedar shade structure isn't right for your property, you may want to consider a steel structure.
Here are some photos of a project we completed recently. We welded the steel frame and installed steel roof panels. The roof was pre-painted and we painted the rest of the structure to match. Now, rain or shine, this client can actually enjoy the time they spend on their deck.
