A Better Way to Build Your Outdoor Living Space

At Tiller Fence and Deck, we've spent 19+ years helping Oklahoma families turn their backyards into the part of the house they actually want to spend time in. A pergola isn't just a structure. It's the shade on a July afternoon, the room you eat dinner in all summer, the spot the kids end up in every weekend.

We design and build every pergola from the ground up, custom to your space. Wood, aluminum, steel. Traditional or contemporary. We'll help you figure out what fits, then build it properly the first time.

Our Commitment To Quality

We treat every pergola like it's going on our own house. Premium materials, time-tested construction methods, and the kind of attention to detail that holds up against Oklahoma sun, wind, hail, and everything in between. When the project's done, you should still be happy with it ten years from now.

How We Build Your Pergola, From First Call to Finished Project

Choosing a builder shouldn't be the hardest part of getting a pergola. We've tried to make the whole process feel as straightforward as it should be. Here's what to expect:

  • Design Built Around You
    We start with how you actually want to use the space, then pick the materials, finishes, and footprint that fit it.
  • Materials That Make Sense
    Cedar, pressure-treated wood, aluminum, or steel. We'll talk you through the trade-offs honestly instead of selling you the most expensive option.
  • Add-Ons That Earn Their Keep
    Lighting, retractable shades, ceiling fans, solid roofing. We add what you'll actually use, and skip what you won't.

Our crew handles the build from measuring and post-setting through final inspection. You get one team, one point of contact, and a structure that's ready the day we say it will be.

Experience That Actually Shows Up

Over 19 years of building outdoor structures across Oklahoma City and surrounding areas. That experience shows up in the small decisions: how posts are anchored, how rafters are spaced, how a finish is applied. Those details make the difference between a pergola that lasts and one that doesn't. When you hire Tiller, you get a crew that's seen most of what Oklahoma can throw at a backyard and built around it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it cheaper to build a custom pergola or buy a kit?
For anything beyond the smallest sizes, a custom-built pergola is usually the better value. Kits look cheap on paper but don't account for your specific space, slope, or long-term durability — and they almost always need add-ons to be usable. A custom build is sized to your yard, anchored properly, and finished to last.
How much does a 12x12 pergola cost in Oklahoma?
For a 12×12 in the OKC metro, most projects land somewhere between $4,000 and $8,000 — the spread comes down to material (wood vs. aluminum vs. steel), design complexity, and add-ons like lighting or solid roofing. We give free on-site estimates so the number you get is based on your actual yard, not a guess.
Will a pergola add value to my home?
Yes — a well-built pergola adds usable square footage to your property in the form of outdoor living space, which is one of the features buyers in Oklahoma City consistently look for. Curb appeal goes up, and so does the perceived size of the lot.
How long does a pergola last?
It comes down to material and upkeep. A properly sealed wood pergola runs 15–20 years; aluminum and steel routinely last 25+ years with almost no maintenance. Everything we build is engineered for Oklahoma weather, so you get the upper end of those ranges, not the lower.
Wood or metal — which is the better pergola material?
Neither is "better" — they're built for different priorities. Wood has warmth, character, and is easier to customize visually, but needs sealing every few years. Aluminum and steel are sleeker, near-zero maintenance, and shrug off weather harder. We'll walk you through the real trade-offs based on your yard, your style, and how hands-on you want to be with upkeep.
Can a pergola actually give me full shade?
A traditional open-roof pergola gives you dappled shade — beautiful, but not full coverage. If you want a space you can sit under at 3 p.m. in July, we'll spec a retractable canopy, solid roofing, or our Hercules Shield system, which drops temperatures by up to 15 degrees and blocks UV completely.
How long does installation take?
Most pergolas wrap up in 2–4 days on site, depending on size and how complex the design is. Larger structures or builds with solid roofing and lighting can stretch a bit longer. We give you a realistic timeline up front and stick to it.
Do I need a permit for a pergola in Oklahoma City?
Sometimes — it depends on whether the pergola is attached to the house, the size of the structure, and your city or HOA. We deal with this on every project, so during the estimate we'll tell you exactly what's required for your address and handle the paperwork if needed.
