WHAT TO COMPARE
Start with the terms shoppers actually use
Compare pergola styles, roof coverage, materials, footings, and how the structure connects to the deck or patio.
Pergola with roof
Some projects need more shade or weather coverage than open rafters. That changes structure, materials, and permitting.
Explore Pergola with roof →Pergola on deck
Pergolas over decks require planning for posts, footings, load path, stairs, railing, and the deck frame below.

Not sure which outdoor structure fits? Compare open shade, roof coverage, privacy, and use case.
Explore Pergola vs gazebo →Pergola builder
A custom pergola should match the home, site, snow load, and outdoor living plan.
Explore Pergola builder →Pavilion kits
If you want a solid roof and more weather protection, a pavilion may be the better structure.

STRUCTURE FIT
The main decision is shade vs shelter.
A pergola is usually the right fit when you want filtered shade, architecture, and an outdoor room feel. If you want full rain and snow coverage, move toward a pavilion or covered structure.
- Open rafters for filtered shade
- Attached or freestanding options
- Can define dining, lounge, garden, or deck areas
- Custom timber details can match the home better than box-store kits
Avoid the trap terms
Broad searches include aluminum, louvered, and motorized pergolas. We should only chase those if the client actually sells them.
BUYER QUESTIONS
Questions this page should answer before someone calls
Can a pergola be built on a deck?
Yes, but the deck framing, post locations, load path, footings, and attachments need to be planned correctly. Do not bolt a heavy structure to a deck without proper structural planning.
What is the difference between a pergola and a pavilion?
A pergola usually has an open or partially covered roof for filtered shade. A pavilion has a solid roof for stronger weather protection.
