Cedar Pergola Over Patio in Friendswood, TX

A pergola project completed by Forged Fence & Deck in Friendswood, TX. Built with cedar posts and beams, decorative hardware, concrete piers for long-term durability.

Project Overview

This pergola project was completed by the Forged Fence & Deck crew in Friendswood, Texas during June 2025. Every job we take on in the Greater Houston Metro is planned around Gulf Coast conditions — clay soil movement, humidity, coastal wind loads, and heavy seasonal rain — so the finished product holds up long after installation day.

This pergola project was completed by the Forged Fence & Deck crew in Friendswood, Texas. The homeowner wanted a solution that would stand up to the humid Gulf Coast climate and look great from the street, so we recommended materials and construction methods built specifically for this region.

We started with a site survey, marked the layout, and set every post in concrete to prevent shifting in Friendswood's expansive clay soils. The crew paid close attention to grade changes, gate swing, and neighbor lines so the finished installation would be clean and code-compliant.

Every project we take in Friendswood is backed by our workmanship warranty and finished with the same attention to detail we bring to jobs across Pearland, Houston, and the surrounding metro area.
