Professional Pergola Installation in Sioux Falls
Babb Fence designs and builds custom pergolas that add shade, structure, and style to your backyard so you can enjoy the outdoors more comfortably from spring through fall.
Pergola Design & Installation
- A custom pergola creates a defined outdoor living space for dining, lounging, or gathering, and pairs seamlessly with your existing deck, patio, or backyard layout.
Each pergola is planned around your home’s architecture, sun patterns, and how you actually use your yard, so it feels intentional rather than “dropped in.”
“Torrey was able to help us with a design concept. From beginning to end, the Babb Custom Deck & Fence crew professional, polite, and considerate. The quality of their work is outstanding and we love our new space!” – Tiffany T.
Pergola Styles & Materials
- Choose from either wood or rust-resistant steel to match your home’s look and deliver the right balance of shade, airflow, and openness.
Options include attached pergolas off the house, freestanding structures in the yard, stonework, and designs that integrate with outdoor kitchens, fire pits, or pool areas.
Benefits of a Custom Pergola
Adds comfortable shade and UV relief while still letting natural light filter through, making patios and decks usable during hot, sunny days.
Enhances curb appeal and property value by adding an architectural feature that frames your outdoor space and creates a “room” outside.
Built to Handle Local Weather
- Pergolas are constructed with solid footings, quality hardware, and durable finishes so they can stand up to wind, sun, rain, and snow in the Sioux Falls area.
Smart design details—like proper anchoring, drainage awareness, and material selection—help minimize long-term maintenance and keep your structure looking sharp.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Pergola pricing varies based on size, materials, design complexity, and optional upgrades. Entry-level pergolas generally start at a few thousand dollars, while larger or fully customized installations can exceed $20,000.
Both pergolas and gazebos enhance outdoor living spaces, but they serve different purposes. A pergola features an open or slatted roof design that provides partial shade while maintaining an airy, open feel. A gazebo, by contrast, includes a solid roof and often enclosed sides, offering greater protection from sun, rain, and wind. Your choice depends on how much coverage and enclosure you prefer.
We offer pergolas constructed from either wood or rust-resistant steel. Wood pergolas provide a warm, traditional appearance, while steel pergolas offer a sleek, modern look with optional adjustable louvers that can close completely for full shade and waterproof protection.
