Custom Pergola Building in Winnipeg

A timber frame pergola transforms your outdoor space into a defined living area. Our carpenters build every pergola with traditional joinery and premium materials that stand up to Manitoba’s seasons.

Start Your Project

A custom pergola is timber frame carpentry at its finest. At All Around Property Maintenance, our carpenters build pergolas using traditional joinery techniques — mortise-and-tenon connections, notched rafters, and hand-shaped details that give each structure character and lasting strength. This is woodworking, not just assembly.

We offer both attached and freestanding pergola designs. Attached pergolas connect to your home’s structure and extend your living space outward, creating a natural transition from indoors to outdoors. Freestanding pergolas can be placed anywhere on your property — over a patio, beside a garden, or as a standalone focal point. Our carpenters engineer the connections and footings for each type to ensure structural integrity.

Material choice defines the look and longevity of your pergola. Western red cedar is our most popular option for its natural warmth, aromatic scent, and exceptional weather resistance. Pressure-treated timber provides proven durability at a lower price point. For either material, we hand-select dimensional lumber with straight grain and minimal knots to ensure your pergola looks as good up close as it does from across the yard.

Custom details set our pergolas apart. We offer decorative rafter tails shaped to your preference — curved, angled, or notched — along with lattice tops in varied spacing, integrated planters, climbing wire systems for vines, and optional shade canopy hardware. Every element is built to complement your home’s architecture and your outdoor living goals.
