A pergola or covered patio can turn an exposed backyard into a more comfortable and functional extension of your home.
Whether you want shade for outdoor dining, protection from changing weather, or a defined place to gather with family and friends, Spillco Construction can build an outdoor structure around your property and lifestyle.
We construct custom pergolas and covered patios for homeowners in Yukon and throughout the Oklahoma City metro. Each project is planned around the home’s design, the available space, drainage, access, and the way the outdoor area will be used.
Types of Structure Projects
Pergolas and patio covers can be designed as freestanding structures or connected to the home.
Depending on the project, features may include:
Wood or metal structural components.
Open-roof pergola designs.
Solid covered roofs.
Extended rooflines.
Columns and decorative supports.
Integrated lighting.
Ceiling fans.
Electrical outlets.
Privacy walls.
Outdoor television areas.
Concrete or paver surfaces.
Gutters and drainage.
Coordinating exterior finishes.
The final design should complement the home while creating the amount of shade and weather protection the homeowner needs.
Pergolas provide partial shade while maintaining an open outdoor feeling. They can help define a patio, seating area, garden, walkway, or outdoor dining space.
A custom pergola may include:
Traditional open rafters.
Decorative beams.
Freestanding or attached construction.
Shade panels.
Climbing plant features.
Integrated lighting.
Privacy screens.
Coordinating stain or paint.
Pergolas work well for homeowners who want architectural interest and moderate shade without fully enclosing the outdoor area.
A covered patio provides more complete protection from direct sunlight and rainfall.
Covered patios may be used for:
Outdoor dining.
Grilling and cooking.
Family gatherings.
Relaxing and entertaining.
Poolside seating.
Outdoor televisions.
Children’s play areas.
Covered access between buildings.
The roof structure, slope, drainage, and connection to the home should be carefully planned to protect both the new patio and the existing property.
Attached Versus Freestanding Structures
Attached Patio Covers
An attached cover connects directly to the home and can create a natural transition between indoor and outdoor living areas. The connection must account for:
- Existing rooflines.
- Exterior wall construction.
- Flashing and water management.
- Doors and windows.
- Structural support.
- Drainage.
Freestanding Structures
A freestanding pergola or patio cover can be placed away from the home near a pool, garden, fire pit, or other outdoor feature.
Freestanding structures offer flexibility when the preferred gathering area is not directly beside the house.
Planning Your Pergola or Covered Patio
Important planning considerations include:
Intended Use
A small sitting area has different requirements than an outdoor kitchen, dining area, or entertainment space.
Sun and Weather Exposure
The structure should be positioned around the afternoon sun, prevailing weather, drainage, and the location of the home.
Size and Furniture Layout
The finished space should provide enough room for furniture, grills, walkways, and gathering areas without feeling crowded.
Connection to the Home
Doors, windows, rooflines, and exterior materials can affect the structure’s placement and design.
Lighting and Electrical Needs
Ceiling fans, outlets, lighting, televisions, and cooking equipment should be considered before construction begins.
Future Improvements
If you may later add an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, pool, or enclosure, those plans should be considered during the initial project.
