After always building pergolas, patio covers and pavilions for clients, I decided it's my turn. This thread will be ongoing until completed, which I hope is before Eater.

Location compared to our home.





Post and beams go up.












Walls up and ready for water, sewer and electric.











Ceiling is cedar lap and gap

Nice! Great photos. Looks solid!

Looking good, I’m kinda jealous

Very nice

soooo. kinda like a detached patio? what are your plans with it?

What’s it do?

Nice, very nice outdoor area.

Very nice!

Really nice! That cedar ceiling looks great.

I look forward to seeing it upon completion...

Very nice, I like how you built it with a similar roof pitch as the house.

I too like the cedar ceiling look. I like the idea.


Mrs RayBob has been after me to build a pergola out on our deck beside the pool. I've told her over and over I am going to do it and she doesn't have to remind every year!

We wanted an area outside to entertain family and friends other than our home. It will have a fireplace on one end and kitchen with grilling/smoking area on the other end. We also added a 1/2 bath so you don't have to go in the house. The middle area will be open for tables and chairs.
