Custom pergolas for Memphis backyards — wood, vinyl, and aluminum. Freestanding or attached. Baltz & Sons Design — free consultations.
A pergola defines outdoor space the way a room defines interior space — it gives the area structure, scale, and purpose without closing it off from the sky and the surroundings. Baltz Design builds pergolas across Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, and beyond — attached and freestanding, open and louvered, simple and fully outfitted — designed to anchor your backyard and built to hold up through Memphis weather for the long haul. Material selection matters more on a pergola than almost any other outdoor structure because it's fully exposed to the elements year-round. Memphis summers push heat and UV loads that degrade lesser materials quickly, and humidity accelerates rot in wood that isn't properly treated and maintained. We build with materials specified for this climate — cedar, aluminum, and composite options depending on your priorities around aesthetics, maintenance, and longevity — and we finish every detail to a standard that holds up as well in year ten as it does on install day.
A pergola becomes the most useful structure in your backyard when it's designed around how the space actually gets used — sized right for the patio beneath it, oriented to manage sun and shade through the day, and outfitted with lighting, fans, and accessories that make it functional morning to night. We integrate all of that into the build rather than leaving it for after the fact, so the finished pergola is complete and ready to use from day one. Whether you want something clean and minimal or a fully loaded outdoor room with a ceiling fan, string lights, and a shade system, we'll build it to fit the space and the way you live in it.
Aluminum pergolas are our most popular choice for Memphis — they handle the heat, humidity, and occasional ice storm without warping, rotting, or requiring annual maintenance. We’ll walk you through the options and help you choose what fits your home and budget.
