Custom Outdoor Structures Designed for Life Outdoors
Outdoor Structures Built to Elevate Your Backyard
At Deck Savvy, we don’t just build decks and fences, we create custom outdoor structures that expand your living space, enhance your property’s value, and transform your backyard into a place you’ll love spending time in. From the initial consultation to the final reveal, we focus on delivering quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and personalized solutions that fit your space, style, and budget.
What We Build
Our experienced team can design and construct a wide variety of outdoor features to make your property more functional and enjoyable, including:
Pavilions and Gazebos
For a fully covered living space, pavilions and gazebos are great at making any area a true outdoor room. These structures are ideal for outdoor dining, lounging, or hosting gatherings in any weather. We construct solid, durable frames with properly engineered roofs, optional electrical integration, and finishing details that elevate both appearance and functionality.
Pergolas and Shade Structures
Pergolas add definition and architectural interest to patios, decks, and garden spaces while providing partial shade and visual flow. We design custom pergolas in a range of styles, from clean modern lines to more traditional designs. With options for privacy panels, integrated lighting, and retractable shade systems, each structure is built to enhance comfort, improve usability, and complement your home’s exterior.
Custom Sheds and Lean-To Roofs
Practical doesn’t have to mean plain. Our custom sheds and lean-to structures are designed to blend seamlessly with your home and outdoor space while providing secure, weather-protected storage for tools, equipment, and seasonal items. Each build focuses on accessibility, durability, and a clean, finished appearance.

Our Process
Every outdoor structure we build starts with a conversation. During your consultation and site visit, we will measure your space and get an understanding of how you plan to use it. We'll discuss your design ideas, and walk you through materials and features that match your vision and budget.
Our team's understanding of local building codes and municipal requirements across Southwestern Ontario, allow us to guide you through permitting and compliance to ensure your project is beautifully designed and built right. During the construction we treat every step of your build with unmatched attention to detail. From privacy features that can shade seating areas, to feature structures that frame your pool or patio, our builds will enhance comfort and flow throughout your backyard.
These designs can be tailored with wood, metal, or a variety of mixed materials to create a cohesive outdoor environment that feels intentional and inviting. Ensuring your outdoor structure meets your expectations and standards is imperative to us as a business.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need to get a permit to build a pergola, pavilion or shed?
The short answer is, it depends. Permit requirements depend on a variety of things, such as structure size, height, and whether it’s attached to your home. We can help guide you through local building regulations and ensure your project meets all applicable codes before construction begins.
What types of outdoor structures do you build?
We can create whatever you're looking for. We have experience building and designing custom pergolas, pavilions, privacy screens, sheds, cabanas, and other covered outdoor spaces. Each structure is unique and tailored to your needs.
How long will it take to build my outdoor structure?
That depends on what type of project we are working on. A simple wood pergola could take us a day to build, whereas, a full backyard living space with a roof structure and kitchen areamight takes us a couple of months. Depending on design complexity, materials or site/ weather conditions, there are many variables that might affect this. We provide a clear timeline during your consultation to avoid any surprises.
How much does a custom outdoor structure typically cost?
Our projects are not a one "size fits all" meaning, every project is custom built and priced accordingly. Prices will vary depending on the size, materials, and design features for that given project. We provide free, detailed estimates so you can explore options that fit your budget and outdoor goals.
Is there a warranty on your work?
Yes. We stand behind our craftsmanship and use a variety of brands and materials we trust and have their own manufacturer warranties. If you have any questions about our workmanship warranty or a products coverage, we can help answer those.
Do you work in my area?
Yes! We proudly serve most of Southwestern Ontario. You are likely to see us in places like London, St. Thomas, Strathroy, West Lorne, Delware, Komoka, Mount Brydges, Dutton, Glencoe, Woodstock, Chatham and nearby communities.
I already have a deck, can I put an outdoor structure on it?
Yes. Many pergolas and privacy screens can be installed on existing decks and concrete pads as long as the foundation and structure can safely support the build. Larger items like pavilions typically need more support, requiring other options like digging for post foundations. We assess this during the planning phase.
A great outdoor living space starts with informed planning and a trusted builder. At Deck Savvy, we guide you through everything from design details to construction planning, to create a space that elevate both form and function.
