Bold and Bulky Pergola in Amarillo

Our Website Rustic Outdoor Escapes

We built this pergola at a house in a new subdivision in southwest Amarillo.  The house had an existing back patio but it just wasn't big enough for entertaining or relaxing the way the family wanted to.  The solution was to extend the concrete patio and build a Bold and Bulky pergola!

Our Bold and Bulky option consists of massive 8" x 8" cedar posts, huge 6" x 12" cedar beams, 4" x 8" rafters and 4" x 4" stripping for shade.  Everything on this pergola is over sized to give it that really substantial look.  This is a great option to go with to make a statement that will set your outdoor living area apart.  On this particular pergola we added the Premium option to the posts that add the finishing touch.

Please enjoy the pictures of the completed project and make sure to visit our website Rustic Outdoor Escapes
Remember, winter is a great time to get started on your outdoor escape so that you can be enjoying it this spring!

Sideyard Pergola in Vintage Township in South Lubbock

Our Website Rustic Outdoor Escapes


This project was completed for Steve Hill Homes who is one of the builders we contract for.  He built a very nice home for his clients in Vintage Township.  Even though their yard isn't very big they still wanted to enjoy the outdoors.

Steve was able to create a design that provides a nice shaded area without taking up the very valuable space in the smaller area.  By using posts only on one side of the pergola they still have an open area to enjoy. 

Please enjoy the pictures of the completed pergola.  Visit our website for more info!

Back Porch Deck connecting to roof in Central Lubbock - Part 2

Our Website Rustic Outdoor Escapes


This nice home in Tech Terrace area of Lubbock had an existing door from the second story out to the flat roof but there was no way for them to utilize the area.  We were able to build a deck for them to go out on and a set of stairs connecting to the back porch deck.

This deck is a great way for them to get some fresh air and enjoy the area out on their roof.  We also added a handrail around the deck for safety.  There was previously nothing from keeping anyone from going to the edge of the roof.  The handrail is made of redwood posts and rails with composite balusters.  The redwood was used to help keep the cost down and the composite balusters compliment the deck as well as keeping the rail low maintenance.

The stairs make it easier to get from one part of the house to another.  The stairs also enlarge the area that can be used in the backyard without having to go through the house, which is especially nice when having a lot of guests for a backyard BBQ.
