A pergola does what nothing else in a backyard does. It defines a space without enclosing it. The roof is open enough to let air and light through, and structured enough to feel like a room. The right pergola turns a flat patch of yard or a section of deck into the part of the property the household actually uses. The wrong one sits unused because the proportions are off, the location is wrong, or the material was chosen on price.
Backyard Builders Decks and Outdoor Living is the pergola builder for homeowners across Lyman and the surrounding Upstate. We install attached, freestanding, and gable pergolas in fiberglass, composite, and aluminum. The structure, location, and material all get specified to fit the property and how you plan to use the space.

Our custom pergola installation covers the full project from site walk to final walkthrough. The work starts with a design consultation that confirms the location, size, and style. The 3D model translates that into a visual you can react to. From there: footing layout and traditional concrete footings, post installation, beam and rafter installation, and the finish work that ties the pergola visually to the house and the deck or patio underneath.
A backyard pergola contractor who builds these every season catches the design and structural details that determine whether the pergola lasts. The footing depth and post sizing for the pergola’s load and the wind exposure. The beam-to-post connection hardware rated for the structure. The roof slope and rafter spacing. The placement against the sun’s path through the day so the shade falls where you want it.
15+ years of outdoor living projects across the Upstate, with 1,000+ completed projects spanning Lyman and the surrounding service area. The same team that builds new decks also installs pergolas, which means a pergola integrated into a new deck or added to an existing one is built by people who know the deck framing already. Every Backyard Builders pergola carries our 3-year craftsmanship warranty on alternative material projects.
