When it’s time to reimagine your outdoor space, a custom StruXure pergola can bring your vision to life. At Decadent Outdoors, we believe in creating timeless structures that add beauty, comfort, and value to your home. Today, we’re sharing three before-and-after transformations where a thoughtfully designed pergola changed everything.
Whether you’re dreaming of adjustable shade over your patio, a striking focal point, or a more functional outdoor room, these projects might just spark your next idea.
1. From Underused Deck to Extended Dining Space
Before: A beautiful deck – fit with a worn awning that provided some shade, but not much else.
After: A permanent, elegant pergola that offers reliable shelter and blends with the style of the home. Outfitted with built-in lighting and heaters, the space is now ready for evening dinners well into the cooler months.
Why it Works: This pergola doesn’t just offer shade—it extends the home’s entertaining space and creates a more comfortable outdoor experience.
2. From Sun-Scorched to Shaded Sanctuary
Before: A wide, open patio with potential—but no structure, no shade, and no clear destination.
After: This homeowner chose a sleek, modern pergola with integrated fans and lighting. The result? A defined outdoor dining area that’s both functional and visually elevated.
Why it Works: This transformation shows how a pergola can turn underutilized space into something truly purposeful—and beautiful.
3. From Sparse Patio to Outdoor Grilling Station
Before: A backyard patio with a grill setup full of potential—but exposed to the elements and lacking structure.
After: We built a custom pergola that fits the roofline of the home, constructed while keeping the original patio fully intact. It now offers maintenance-free enjoyment and a defined space for summer gatherings, rain or shine.
Why it Works: The pergola brings structure, shade, and style—creating a sense of intimacy while preserving the open-air feel.
A custom pergola is more than just an outdoor structure—it’s an invitation to linger longer, live better, and enjoy your home in a whole new way. If these transformations sparked ideas, we’d love to help you bring yours to life.
