TIMBER PERGOLAS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GIVES YOU THE WEATHER. WE BUILD THE SPACE.
Handcrafted timber pergolas and pavilions that turn your backyard into the best room in your house, the one with no walls. Built in Utah. Shipped across Southern California. Installed by trusted Notched partners.
YOUR HOME DOESN'T HAVE TO END AT THE BACK DOOR
THE BEST ROOM IN THE HOUSE HAS NO WALLS
Southern California was made for outdoor living. Warm breezes, palm shadows, and sunsets that stop the whole street.
The first night the marine layer finally lifts. Coffee in the yard before the day gets going. The birthday party that runs late because nobody wants to go inside, and the weather is just too good.
A great outdoor space does not change how your yard looks. It changes how you use it. It gives your evenings somewhere to happen.
That is what we build. Not just a pergola. A reason to stay outside a little longer, with the people you love most.
CHOOSE HOW YOU WANT TO BUILD
LET US BUILD IT.
OR BUILD IT YOURSELF.
THE GATHERING PLACE
Holidays, birthdays, and big family dinners, with a roof overhead.
THE SHOWSTOPPER
Room for the outdoor kitchen, the long table, and everyone you invite
BUILT FOR THE WEST
SUN, WIND, AND COASTAL AIR. BUILT TO HOLD UP.
Southern California is beautiful, and it is hard on anything built outdoors. Strong sun nearly year round. Santa Ana winds that arrive fast. Salt air near the coast, and heat that climbs inland. A structure here has to do more than look good on installation day.
WIND
Heavy timbers and dovetail joinery hold steady in Santa Ana gusts. Lightweight kits rely on a few bolts.
SUN
Substantial timbers and roof options built for real shade.
COASTAL AIR
Ask us about stains that protect timber near the coast.
BACKED FOR 25 YEARS
Every structure carries a 25 year structural warranty.
