Motorized pergolas, retractable screens, and radiant heating — built for Bennington area homeowners from Manchester to Arlington, Old Bennington to North Bennington. Southern Vermont winters run long. The outdoor season you get in return deserves every hour you can add to it. The only authorized StruXure dealer in the region. And yes — we come to you.

THE PROBLEM

The outdoor space that keeps falling short.

Southern Vermont summers are short and earned. You moved here — or stayed here — for the Green Mountains, the clean air, the pace that the rest of the world charges a premium for. The outdoor life is the whole point.

But the backyard hasn't caught up. Muggy evenings in July bring the insects off the hills. The afternoon sun clears the patio right when you finally get home. September arrives before the space ever got properly used, and then it's 65 inches of snow and another winter.

Bennington has something most of New England doesn't — a true mountain town feel with actual seasons worth living in. A well-designed outdoor space is how you stop letting them pass from inside.

Outdoor living solutions designed for the Bennington area.

Here’s how Decadent Outdoors can help you take your outdoor living space back.

Stop giving up your outdoor season.

We come to you, assess your space, and give you a fixed price — before you decide anything.

An outdoor space that finally works — designed for your Bennington area property specifically.

You didn't move to the Green Mountains to eat dinner inside from June through September. Bennington homeowners chose this place for the outdoor life — the mountain views, the quiet, the seasons that actually feel like seasons. The backyard should be part of that, not a reminder of what you're not quite getting.

Jeff Mazzarelli spent 35 years building outdoor environments for resort properties where guests expected to live outside every single day regardless of conditions. He built Decadent Outdoors around that same standard. A motorized pergola that handles the Vermont afternoon sun without you moving a chair. Retractable screens that seal out the insects that come off the Green Mountain hills in July and August. Radiant heat that turns October in Bennington — one of the most spectacular months in all of New England — into the beginning of your outdoor season's best chapter instead of the last page.

Ballston Lake is less than an hour from Bennington. We come to your property for a free in-home visit. Fixed price before you decide anything.

Picture this:

6:30 on a Tuesday in August. Screens down. Pergola set against the late Vermont sun. Dinner outside with the Green Mountains in the background — without planning, without anyone suggesting you go in. October in Bennington with the foliage at peak, the heat on, and no reason to stop.

Is season extension worth it in Vermont's climate?

For Bennington homeowners, absolutely. Southern Vermont averages 65 inches of snow annually — which makes every warm-weather evening genuinely precious. Radiant heating adds two to three weeks of usable outdoor time on both ends of the season, pushing the practical window from late April through November. Combined with retractable screens that handle the summer insect season and a motorized pergola that manages afternoon sun, the result is a Green Mountain outdoor space that actually performs through the full season.
