Cedar pergolas and arbors are a wonderful addition to any landscape project. The offer many functional uses. From creating a sense of entry to privacy screening and of course some offer shade from the sun are the key features of pergolas. But there is also an intrinsic beauty that they offer. Some will harken to a more romantic time in landscape design. We love them for the wonderful spaces they create in gardens and landscape. Pergolas can be constructed of many materials. But nothing matches the natural beauty more than cedar. The ease of cedar to work with and its longevity from decaying make it a great choice for pergola projects. Find out more about the great properties of cedar at Real Cedar. Find a pergola detail you like in a picture? Make sure to add the photos to your favorite Pinterest board!

Crafting the Classic Cedar Pergola -Notching the Post
Pergolas and Arbors add so much beauty and style to your outdoor living space. With their overhead plane they create the feeling of being in a room. Yes, you guessed it… an outdoor room! Many materials are available to construct pergolas. Stone, concrete, metal, vinyl to name a few… but, we love the look of wood. And our favorite wood to work with is Real Cedar. The beautiful color and natural decay resistance of cedar make our first choice and recommendation.
When constructing a pergola or arbor the joinery is of utmost importance. A strong construction can provide years of worry free outdoor living. In crafting our Classic Cedar Pergola and Arbors we notch the top of the post for the strongest connection. This allows the cross members to rest on the post to carry the load and not the fasteners. The over sized carriage bolts keep the joint nice and tight.
