Pergola & Privacy Screen FAQs
How much does it cost to build a pergola in Calgary?
The cost of a custom pergola in Calgary depends on its size, materials, design complexity, site conditions and any additional features you want to incorporate. A simple freestanding pergola will generally cost less than a large custom structure that’s integrated with a deck, patio or other landscaping.
At Assiniboine Landscapes, each pergola is designed around your property, outdoor space and project goals. We provide a custom estimate after assessing your yard and discussing the size, style and features you’re looking for.
Do I need a permit to build a pergola in Calgary?
Permit requirements for pergolas in Calgary depend on the size, design and location of the structure. A pergola may be considered an accessory residential building, and structures over certain size thresholds or those attached to a home may require a building permit.
Other requirements can also apply depending on where the pergola will be located in relation to property lines and other structures.
Before construction begins, it’s important to confirm the requirements for your specific property and pergola design.
What's the difference between a pergola, privacy screen and arbor?
A pergola is typically a larger outdoor structure designed to define a patio, deck or seating area while providing some shade and architectural interest.
A privacy screen or lattice is generally used to create separation or privacy around areas such as patios, decks and outdoor seating spaces. An arbor is usually a smaller structure used to frame a garden entrance, walkway or pathway and can also provide support for climbing plants.
All three can be customized to complement your home and incorporated into a larger landscape design.
Can a pergola provide enough shade and privacy for my backyard?
A pergola can provide partial shade and help define a more comfortable outdoor living area, but the amount of shade depends on its design, orientation and the spacing of the overhead structure.
For homeowners looking for additional privacy, a pergola can also be combined with lattice or custom privacy screens to help block neighbouring views and create a more secluded patio or seating area.
