About Shade Structures
Dream Decks constructs a wide range of shade structures beyond traditional pergolas and gazebos, offering solutions for every outdoor shading need and architectural style. From large pavilions suitable for outdoor kitchens to decorative arbors marking garden entryways, our shade structure expertise covers the full spectrum of outdoor coverage options.
Pavilions provide large-scale covered areas ideal for outdoor kitchens, entertainment spaces, or pool areas. Unlike pergolas, pavilions feature complete roofing for full weather protection. Unlike gazebos, pavilions typically feature open sides with posts only, creating expansive covered areas without visual barriers. Arbors and trellises serve decorative functions, creating stunning garden entryways or supports for climbing plants along pathways.
Modern shade options include tensioned shade sails that provide contemporary aesthetics with excellent UV protection, cabanas and pool houses for poolside comfort, and ramadas for southwestern-style outdoor living. Each shade structure we build is engineered for Minnesota conditions, with proper foundations, load calculations for wind and snow, and material selections that withstand our climate's demands. We customize designs to complement your home's architecture and landscape style.
