Cedar Patio Covers & Pergola Projects
A cedar patio cover or pergola transforms your backyard into a functional, shaded outdoor living space. At Dallas Cedar, we supply premium cedar lumber and structural components for pergola and patio cover projects throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
Whether you’re a homeowner planning a backyard upgrade or a contractor sourcing dependable materials, cedar offers unmatched beauty and long-term performance for outdoor structures.
Design Considerations for Cedar Patio Covers & Pergolas
Thoughtful planning ensures your structure is both beautiful and functional. Key design factors include:
Shade & Sun Exposure
Determine how much shade you need and the sun’s path across your yard. Pergolas offer partial shade, while patio covers provide full coverage.
Footprint & Size
Consider available space, post placement, and clearance requirements. Larger spans may require oversized beams for structural integrity.
Style & Architecture
Cedar complements a wide range of designs — from modern horizontal pergolas to traditional exposed-beam patio covers.
Dallas Cedar helps you select lumber sizes and profiles that fit your vision and meet structural needs.
Structural Cedar Components We Supply
A strong outdoor structure starts with quality materials. Dallas Cedar supplies:
- 4×4, 6×6, and oversized cedar posts
- Cedar beams and headers
- Rafters, purlins, and shade slats
- Decorative trim and end cuts
- Structural brackets, post bases, and hardware
We also offer custom milling options for specialty cuts and architectural details.
Why Cedar Is Ideal for Outdoor Structures
Cedar remains the preferred wood for pergolas and patio covers in Texas due to its natural advantages:
- Resistant to rot, decay, and insects
- Handles heat and humidity better than many woods
- Lightweight yet structurally strong
- Minimal warping and splitting
- Beautiful grain and natural color
With proper care, cedar outdoor structures can last 25+ years.
