Pergolas, arbors and shade structures that make the patio usable in Texas heat.
A pergola or shade structure in Manor isn't a luxury-it's how you reclaim your backyard during Texas summers. The heat here on the eastern prairie is relentless, and our brutal sun doesn't quit until well past 8 p.m. A well-built pergola turns your patio into an actual gathering space instead of a place you can't stay for more than five minutes without melting.
The new subdivisions sprouting across Manor-ShadowGlen, Whisper Valley, Stonewater-come with yards full of potential and zero shade. We build custom pergolas and arbors in cedar and powder-coated steel, either attached to your house or freestanding, with optional shade canopy systems. On Manor's deep blackland clay, we dig deep and build right, so your structure won't shift when the ground gets heavy with rain.
Corral Bros has been putting families in the shade since day one. We handle the whole thing in-house-design, permitting, build-and we'll come out for a free on-site estimate, usually within 48 hours. Licensed, insured, and not interested in cutting corners.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Manor property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and pergolas & shade that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
A standard open pergola provides partial, dappled shade; for stronger sun relief in Central Texas we add a slatted roof, canopy, shade cloth or climbing plants. We design the right amount of cover so the space is comfortable through hot afternoons.
Cedar and powder-coated steel are the best pergola materials for Central Texas, standing up to sun, heat and storms. Cedar offers a warm natural look and resists rot, while steel gives clean, low-maintenance lines. We build both, stained and sealed to last.
Cedar weathers beautifully over time and stays solid for years with proper sealing. Steel pergolas are powder-coated and designed for the humidity and sun here on the prairie. Either way, we stain and seal everything we build in Manor. You're looking at decades of use, not seasons.
Most freestanding structures under certain dimensions don't require a permit, but attached pergolas usually do. Manor's building department is straightforward about it. We handle the permitting work as part of the job, so you don't have to figure it out yourself.
A pergola alone gives you dappled shade and some airflow. Add a retractable shade canopy and you drop the temperature noticeably on those brutal Manor afternoons. The combo keeps you comfortable when the sun's at its worst and lets the breeze through when it's mild.
Price depends on size, materials, and whether you want a canopy system. We'll come out at no charge and walk you through options with actual numbers. Call us at (737) 404-9343 to schedule a free estimate-we're usually available within 48 hours.
That deep blackland clay requires deeper footings and proper drainage work. We account for frost depth and clay movement in every build. Your structure sits right, stays right, and handles the seasonal swelling and shrinking that clay ground does here.
Either works. Attached pergolas tie into your existing roof line or fascia and give you a sheltered transition from house to patio. Freestanding structures let you position shade exactly where you need it. We design based on your yard and what you want the space to do.
