Cedar Pergola Installation
The most popular choice for Minnesota backyards
Western red cedar is the gold standard for outdoor structures in Minnesota. It naturally resists rot, insects, and moisture — meaning your pergola stays beautiful through harsh winters and humid summers without constant maintenance. PergolasPro builds custom cedar pergolas in any size, from intimate 10×10 patio covers to sprawling 20×20 entertainment structures.
- Natural rot and insect resistance
- Beautiful grain that stains or paints easily
- Holds up to Minnesota winters
- Custom sizing from 10×10 to 20×20+
- Optional stain, paint, or natural finish

Deck Pergola Installation
Turn your existing deck into a shaded outdoor room
A deck pergola transforms an exposed, sun-baked deck into a comfortable outdoor living space you can actually use on hot summer afternoons. PergolasPro attaches pergolas directly to your existing deck structure — no new footings required in most cases — and can add string lights, privacy screens, or climbing plant supports to complete the look.
- Attaches to existing deck — minimal disruption
- Provides shade without blocking views
- Compatible with composite and wood decks
- Optional string light wiring
- Adds significant resale value

- No attachment to house required
- Concrete footing installation included
- Engineered for Minnesota wind and snow
- Perfect for pools, gardens, and open yards

Hot Tub Pergola Covers
Privacy, shade, and ambiance for your spa
A pergola over your hot tub creates a private outdoor retreat — shielding you from neighbors, providing shade on sunny days, and adding a dramatic focal point to your backyard. PergolasPro builds hot tub pergolas with optional privacy lattice panels, string light wiring, and cedar or pressure-treated lumber depending on the moisture exposure.
- Privacy lattice panel options
- Moisture-resistant lumber choices
- String light wiring available
- Custom sizing to fit any hot tub
- Adds spa-like ambiance to your yard

String Light Pergola Installation
Ambiance and function — day and night
String lights transform a pergola from a daytime shade structure into an evening entertainment destination. PergolasPro can wire your pergola for outdoor-rated string lights during the build — running conduit through the posts and beams so there are no exposed cords. The result is a clean, professional look that is safe and weatherproof.
- Outdoor-rated weatherproof wiring
- Conduit run through posts — no exposed cords
- Compatible with any string light style
- GFCI outlet installation available
- Perfect for evening entertaining

Don't forget staining & refinishing
A new cedar pergola should be stained within the first season. An existing one needs a maintenance coat every 2–3 years. PergolasPro handles both — professional-grade penetrating oil stains, full refinishing, and annual maintenance programs.
Common Questions
Pergola installation FAQ
How much does a pergola cost in Minnesota?
Pergola costs vary based on size, materials, and features. Most PergolasPro installations range from a few thousand dollars for a basic 10×10 cedar pergola to larger custom builds. We offer free, no-obligation estimates — call (612) 466-0026 or fill out our contact form.
How long does pergola installation take?
Most PergolasPro installations are completed in a single day. Eddie and his crew arrive in the morning, build your pergola with precision, and leave your yard clean by evening.
Do I need a permit for a pergola in Minnesota?
Permit requirements vary by city and pergola size. PergolasPro can advise you on local requirements during your free estimate. Many smaller pergolas do not require permits, but we always recommend checking with your municipality.
What wood is best for a pergola in Minnesota?
Western red cedar is the top choice for Minnesota pergolas. It naturally resists rot and insects, handles freeze-thaw cycles well, and takes stain beautifully. Pressure-treated lumber is a cost-effective alternative for posts and footings.
