    Freestanding Pergola in Friendswood, TX

    Friendswood projects along FM 518 and FM 528 need details chosen for the property, not a one-size-fits-all package. Freestanding pergolas create defined outdoor living zones anywhere on your property — by the pool, over an outdoor kitchen, in the garden, or as a standalone entertaining area. With four or more posts anchored in concrete, freestanding pergolas offer maximum design flexibility and can be placed wherever you need shade and structure. We build freestanding pergolas in wood, aluminum, and steel to complement any property style. Post-Hurricane Harvey, many Friendswood properties have elevated foundations that require custom fence grading to maintain consistent height and drainage.

    Friendswood is in Galveston and Harris counties, and freestanding pergola permits here go through Friendswood Community Development — we file them. Most of our Friendswood work sits off FM 518 and FM 528, on 1970s-through-2000s homes on wooded, tree-heavy lots, and Friendswood is fifteen minutes from our shop.

    Friendswood sits on a mix of clay and sandy loam near Galveston Bay, requiring corrosion-resistant hardware and proper post depth to handle soil movement. Friendswood also sees coastal humidity and occasional flooding from tropical weather, which is why every freestanding pergola we build here sits on galvanized steel posts set in concrete. Cedar privacy fences with steel posts dominate West Ranch and Heritage Park. Aluminum pool fences are common due to Friendswood's pool-heavy neighborhoods.

    What Friendswood Homeowners Say About Us

    5.026 reviews on Google
    “My 25 yo cedar fence was partially destroyed by Hurricane Beryl so I decided to replace the entire section of fence. I contacted several fence companies but only Kyle at 360Fence & Deck responded quickly with a willingness to measure the section and provide an estimate within the next 2 days. The estimate was lower than previous quotes and I was impressed with Kyle's customer service. They completed the job within 3 days and I am very satisfied with the results. I was very grateful they built the new fence without harming existing landscaping growing on the old fence. Clearly these guys are excellent craftsmen with the appearance and quality adhering to very high standards. Kyle was very helpful in answering my questions and concerns. I would definitely use 360Fence & Deck co for future work and I strongly recommend them to others.”
