02Who builds it
Pergola of Tucson designs and installs outdoor shade for one climate: this one. Intense west sun, brutal midday UV, and a monsoon that tests every fastener you skimped on. So we do not skimp.
Every structure is engineered for real desert wind loads, set on footings that hold, and finished to survive 365 days of sunshine a year. We build in aluminum, cedar, steel, louvered and motorized systems, and Sonoran ramadas, and we handle the Pima County permit and your HOA or ARC approval so you do not have to.

Ramada vs pergola
An open or louvered roof of beams or blades. Filters and controls sun, keeps an airy, modern feel, and can be motorized to open the sky.
The Sonoran classic. A solid-roof, freestanding shade structure that blocks sun and rain outright. Full shade for pools, kitchens, and gatherings.

07Homeowners
They spec’d out three material options with real numbers, not a sales pitch. The louvered roof closed on its own the first monsoon that rolled through. Exactly what we paid for.
Our HOA is brutal and it cleared on the first submission. The crew handled the permit, the drawings, all of it. The cantilever span over the pool has zero posts in the way.
Cedar ramada over the back patio and it dropped the afternoon heat noticeably. Clean welds, honest quote, showed up when they said. Would use them again without thinking about it.
