Deck Services / Cabanas
A cabana is a pergola that's decided to be a room. It has a slatted or solid top overhead and louvered privacy walls on the sides you choose, so you get shade, shelter from the wind and a corner of the yard the neighbours can't see into.
Panels set permanently in place. Consistent shade and screening, with airflow through the slats, and nothing to adjust.
Panels that slide along a track, so you can open the cabana to the yard in the evening and close it off against the afternoon sun or a nosy neighbour.
We frame cabanas in cedar and Douglas fir on footings below the frost line, and design them to handle Calgary's snow and freeze-thaw.
Roofed, walled outdoor spaces you can use in more than one season.





A cabana built on a deck makes it a covered deck, which needs a building permit in Calgary whatever the height. We apply for it. See the deck permit guide.
Sometimes. The posts need to carry the roof down to proper footings, so we check the structure first and may add footings.
A pergola is open and mostly for shade. A cabana adds walls for privacy. If you want a fully roofed, open-sided shelter, ask us about a timber pavilion.
