A gazebo gives you a place to enjoy the outdoor where you don’t have to worry about the weather.

Pergola

Sunrise Fence can build several different pergola types. From freestanding ones to patio covers and even additions off the side of a home. A pergola is used a lot for climbing plants such as grapevines or morning glories. They typically have a lattice side and roof. This allows the sun to shine down through peck holes in the vines. Mixing you in the perfect balance of shade and sun.

Arbor
