Patio covers provide shade, shelter, and protection for your outdoor living space, making it usable during all seasons. They help extend the life of your deck by protecting it from the elements while also creating a comfortable space for dining, relaxing, and entertaining.

What types of composite decking does Freedom Deck Builders offer?

Composite decking offers numerous advantages over traditional wood decks for Colorado homes. It is low-maintenance, resistant to rot, mold, and insects, durable in harsh weather conditions, and retains its color and shape over time. Composite decking is eco-friendly, made from recycled materials, and requires no staining or sealing. Upgrade your outdoor space with the long-lasting benefits of composite decking from Freedom Deck Builders.

Pergolas FAQs

What type of wood does Freedom Deck Builders use for pergola construction?

Freedom Deck Builders uses cedar wood for pergola construction, chosen for its durability, longevity, and aesthetic appeal. Cedar is a perfect match for Colorado’s challenging weather conditions, offering natural resistance to insects and moisture while providing a beautiful, timeless look.

A polycarbonate roofing system for pergolas offers superior protection, creating a dry space for your outdoor patio. It enhances the overall aesthetics of your outdoor area by allowing natural light to filter through, while also providing UV protection and insulation. This type of roofing adds functionality without sacrificing style.

When it comes to custom pergola builds, homeowners have various options. You can choose a pergola attached to your home, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces, or opt for a free-standing pergola that creates a distinct focal point in your backyard.

A dry space ceiling is an under-deck drainage system that protects your deck from moisture and water damage, while also providing an additional usable space beneath your deck. It allows you to store outdoor furniture or create a cozy outdoor living area that remains dry, even during heavy rain. Dry space ceilings add value and longevity to your deck by keeping it protected from the elements.
