Pergolas & Shade Structures, Done Right
Pergolas define a space and filter the sun. Slatted tops create dappled shade, louvered tops can adjust it and solid or retractable covers add rain protection. Add string lights, fans, curtains and climbing vines to make it your own.
We plan the posts, footings, beams and rafters to carry the load and match your house, and attach to the deck or stand free. We can add a bar top, built-in seating or a fire table below.
Music City Deck & Fence brings pergolas & shade structures to homes and businesses in Nashville and across 14 Middle Tennessee cities.

Measure, Design and Estimate
We visit, measure, talk through materials and styles and give you a clear, free written estimate with options.

Build and Walk Through
Our crew builds to the plan, keeps the site tidy and walks the finished project with you before we call it done.
Do pergolas need permits?
Often, especially attached ones. We check the rules for your address and help with the process.
Will a pergola keep out rain?
Not unless the roof is solid or louvered. Open slats give shade but not rain protection.
Can I add a pergola to my existing deck?
Often yes, if the deck is strong enough. We check and recommend.
