Enhance Poolside Projects with Custom Patio Covers, Pergolas, Cabanas & More

The Ultimate Poolside Enhancement

In the world of high-end outdoor design, every detail matters—and nothing completes a luxurious poolside experience like custom shade structures. Whether you're a pool builder or contractor, adding stylish and functional features like patio covers, pergolas, and cabanas can take your projects from impressive to unforgettable. That’s where Cedar Shade Co. comes in.

We specialize in designing and building custom cedar structures that not only provide comfort and privacy but also elevate the entire aesthetic of a backyard or commercial space. With years of experience and a deep passion for craftsmanship, we’ve become a trusted partner for professionals looking to create standout outdoor environments that wow their clients and withstand the test of time.

Why Pool Builders & Contractors Choose Custom Shade Structures

Let’s face it—when people invest in a pool, they’re not just looking for a place to swim. They’re investing in a lifestyle. And what complements that lifestyle better than a beautiful, well-built shade structure that adds both visual appeal and practical function?

By incorporating custom patio covers, cabanas, or pergolas into your pool builds, you're offering clients a more complete and comfortable experience. Shade structures give families a place to lounge out of the sun, enjoy a drink, read a book, or entertain guests without overheating. Plus, from a design standpoint, they add height, depth, and personality to any outdoor space.

They’re not just a bonus—they’re a value booster. These additions often increase property values and make homes more appealing to future buyers. For contractors and pool builders, this translates into happy clients, better referrals, and more opportunities to stand out in a competitive market.

Custom Patio Covers & Cabanas: Stylish & Functional Shade Solutions

At Cedar Shade Co., we’re big believers that shade should be just as beautiful as it is functional. Our custom patio covers and cabanas are crafted from premium cedar, designed to enhance the comfort and style of any outdoor living space.

Patio covers are a client favorite—offering reliable shade and protection while blending seamlessly with the surrounding architecture. Whether your client wants something modern and minimal or rustic and charming, we can match the structure’s design to their aesthetic. Solid-roof designs provide full protection from sun and rain, while open-beam styles allow just the right amount of filtered light.

Cabanas take things up a notch. These aren’t your typical poolside huts—they’re luxurious, multi-purpose spaces that serve as retreats, changing rooms, storage areas, or entertainment hubs. Outfitted with lighting, ceiling fans, privacy panels, and other creature comforts, they become an extension of the home itself.

Everything is custom-built with longevity in mind, and we make it easy for contractors to deliver exceptional results without delays or headaches.

Cedar Pergolas & Arbors: Elegant Additions to Poolside Landscaping

Pergolas and arbors are all about making a visual statement. These elegant additions bring vertical interest and a sense of structure to poolside landscaping, helping define different areas of the yard while keeping things open and airy. Plus, they’re incredibly versatile.

Pergolas are ideal for poolside dining areas, lounge zones, or walkways, offering partial shade and a great spot to hang lights, plants, or drapes. Cedar is the perfect material here—not only is it naturally resistant to insects and rot, but it also weathers beautifully, turning a silvery gray over time if left untreated, or staying warm and rich with the right finish.

Arbors, on the other hand, are great for entrances or transitions between spaces. They’re smaller but equally impactful, providing that “wow” moment when someone steps into your poolscape.

And here's the best part—our pergolas and arbors can be designed as freestanding elements or attached to existing structures, giving you complete flexibility in layout. Whether it’s a sleek slatted-roof look or something more traditional with intricate woodwork, we bring each client’s vision to life while keeping durability and beauty at the forefront.

Screens & Enclosures: Functional Privacy & Shade Solutions

Sometimes, clients want more than just a break from the sun—they want privacy, too. That’s where our screens and enclosures come in. These additions are the perfect finishing touch for any poolside structure, providing both functional protection and a little extra peace of mind.

Whether it’s retractable screens for a cabana, fixed privacy panels for a patio, or fully enclosed spaces for year-round use, we’ve got solutions that blend seamlessly into your design. Our screen options are built tough for the outdoors—resistant to UV, wind, and weather—so they won’t fade, sag, or fail.

For pool builders and contractors, screens are an easy upsell that deliver big value. They add comfort, reduce glare, protect against insects, and help create a more controlled environment around the pool. Plus, they’re fully customizable, so your clients can enjoy the perfect balance of openness and enclosure.
