Pergolas & Shade

Pergola Builder in Wenatchee, WA

Wenatchee Construction designs and builds cedar pergolas for homes and properties in Wenatchee, East Wenatchee, Chelan, Manson, Leavenworth, Cashmere, Entiat, and Orondo. We build patio pergolas, freestanding pergolas, shade structures, and pergola-topped garden enclosures.

A pergola is the cheapest way to make a hot patio usable again. We size the posts, beams, and slat spacing for the sun angle you're fighting and anchor the whole thing for valley wind.

What We Build

Shade, height, and structure in cedar.

Over a patio, out in the garden, or tied into an existing deck.

Patio pergolas

Attached or post-set structures over an existing patio, sized so the shade lands where you actually sit.

Freestanding pergolas

Standalone structures out in the yard or garden for a dining spot, hot tub, or shaded seating area.

Shade structures

Tighter rafter and slat spacing, or slats angled to the afternoon sun, when cooling the space is the whole point.

Pergola-topped enclosures

Our valley specialty: hog-wire garden enclosures with a cedar pergola top that adds height and shade.

Deck-mounted pergolas

Posts tied into deck framing rather than bolted to decking, so the structure carries load and wind properly.

Cedar craftsmanship

Cedar timbers with cut rafter tails, hidden fasteners where it counts, and joints that look right up close.

Common questions.

Shade or full cover: which do I want?
An open pergola breaks up the sun and keeps the space feeling airy, but it will not keep you dry in rain. A solid or panel-covered roof gives you all-weather use and changes how the structure is framed and drained. Tell us how you plan to use the space and we'll build for that; every estimate is free.
What materials do you use?
Cedar is our default for the look and how well it holds up in valley sun. We also build in pressure-treated framing with cedar or composite trim, and we can add powder-coated hardware for a cleaner line.
Can you anchor a pergola on concrete or pavers?
Yes. On concrete we anchor through standoff post bases so the post bottoms stay dry. On pavers we usually pull a few units and set proper footings underneath, then reset the pavers around the base.
How long does a pergola take to build?
Most pergolas are up in two to five days on site once materials arrive, and larger or covered structures take longer. Footings need cure time before framing, so we plan the schedule around that and give you the window in writing.
