Pergolas, Gazebos & Outdoor Structures in Toronto & the GTA
Pergolas, gazebos, cabanas and pavilions, designed and built to suit your yard.
Shade and Shelter for Your Backyard
A custom pergola in Toronto typically costs $8,000 to $25,000, and a custom gazebo $12,000 to $30,000, depending on size, materials and footings. A detached structure under 15 m² usually doesn’t need a building permit unless it has plumbing, but it must still meet zoning setbacks; we check this before design.
Whether you want light shade over a dining area or a fully roofed outdoor room, we design the structure around how you use your yard, set the footings below the frost line and build it to last through Ontario winters.
Structures We Build
Pergolas
Open or slatted roofs that shade a deck, patio or dining corner. Can be freestanding or built onto an existing deck.
Gazebos
Freestanding roofed shelters for a garden or seating area, with open sides or screens.
Cabanas
Small roofed outdoor rooms beside a pool or patio for shade, changing or storage.
Pavilions
Larger solid-roof structures for outdoor kitchens, dining or a hot tub, built to handle snow load.

Outdoor Structures FAQ
How much does a pergola cost in Toronto?
A custom pergola added to a deck or patio typically costs $8,000 to $25,000, depending on size, materials and whether it has a cover.
How much does a gazebo cost in Toronto?
A custom gazebo typically costs $12,000 to $30,000, depending on size, materials and footings. Cabanas and pavilions vary more with size and finishes, so we quote them after a site visit.
Do I need a permit for a gazebo, cabana or pavilion?
In Toronto, a detached structure under 15 m² usually does not need a building permit unless it has plumbing, but it must still meet zoning setbacks. Larger structures, roofed structures attached to the house and anything with plumbing need a permit. We check this before design and handle the application.
What is the difference between a pergola and a pavilion?
A pergola has an open or slatted roof that gives partial shade. A pavilion has a solid roof, so it keeps off rain and can shelter an outdoor kitchen, dining area or hot tub.
Can you add a pergola or roof to my existing deck?
Often, yes, if the deck frame and footings can carry the extra load. We check the structure first. See also our covered deck service.
