South Houston projects along Spencer Highway and Highway 3 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. South Houston's older infrastructure means underground utilities are less predictable — we always call 811 before digging.

“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.”
