Built by our own crew in Kemah
For Kemah properties near the Kemah Boardwalk and Clear Lake Channel, the design starts with waterfront and canal-front homes exposed to constant salt air. Wood pergolas bring natural warmth and timeless style to your outdoor space. We build custom wood pergolas using Western red cedar, pressure-treated pine, and tropical hardwoods. Each pergola is engineered with proper post anchoring, cross-beam spacing, and finishing to withstand the Texas climate. Options include attached (to your home) or freestanding designs, with optional shade cloth, fan mounts, and integrated lighting. For Kemah waterfront properties, composite decking with hidden fasteners creates a seamless surface that resists the salt, moisture, and UV exposure.
Kemah is in Galveston County, and wood pergola permits here go through the Kemah Building Department — we file them. Most of our Kemah work sits off Highway 146 and the Kemah Boardwalk, on waterfront and canal-front homes exposed to constant salt air, and Kemah installs carry marine-grade hardware by default.
Kemah's bayfront soil is sandy and salt-saturated, requiring marine-grade materials for any metal fence component. Kemah also sees constant salt air exposure from Galveston Bay — the most corrosive environment in our service area, which is why every wood pergola we build here sits on galvanized steel posts set in concrete. Aluminum and vinyl fencing exclusively — iron and standard steel corrode too quickly in Kemah's salt air.

“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.”

Yes. We build both attached pergolas (connected to your home's fascia or wall) and freestanding pergolas. Attached pergolas require proper ledger board installation and flashing to prevent water intrusion.
