A place to sit on a wooded acre
Weddington is a town of large lots, tall trees and wide space between houses. Many yards run from a lawn into woods. The patio by the house often has tree shade already, so people here look farther out: a pavilion at the edge of the lawn, a pergola by the garden, a covered seat near the pool.
Trees change the plan. A limb over the spot means leaves and falling branches on the frame. Roots near a post mean we may move that post or change the span. Send photos that look up as well as across, so we see what hangs over the space.
A pavilion out in the yard carries a solid roof. A solid roof catches wind, so its footings and connections are heavier than those of an open pergola.

Two offices, in this order
The town gives the zoning permit, which looks at where the structure sits on the lot. Union County gives the building permit, which looks at how it is built. Call the town first.
Built for a Weddington yard
Pavilions
A gable or single slope roof on heavy posts, set where the lawn meets the trees.
Wood pergolas
Cedar or pressure-treated pine that sits well among trees and stone.
Pergola repair
Beams cracked by a fallen limb, and posts gone soft in a damp, shaded corner.
Attached pergolas
A frame off the back wall, or on posts beside it when the wall is brick or stone.
Aluminum pergolas
A frame that damp shade and leaf litter cannot rot.
Privacy walls
A slat screen for the hot tub, or for the side of a patio that faces the road.
Who approves a pergola in Weddington
Two offices share the work. The Town of Weddington gives the zoning permit, and Union County gives the building permit. In North Carolina a detached structure with any dimension over 12 feet must meet the building code, and on lots this size many pergolas and pavilions are larger than that. A roofed structure is a building and usually needs a building permit.
Some Weddington neighborhoods have an HOA and some older lots do not. If you have one, its approval is separate from any permit, and it comes first. We give you one drawing with the sizes and materials that serves for both. The town, the county and your HOA have the final word. Our permit guide covers the general rules.
From photos of your yard to a written quote
- Photo the spot from two sides, the ground where the posts would stand, and the branches above it. Add the rough width and depth.
- We send a drawing and a free written quote. Every pergola, pavilion, privacy wall and repair is quoted after we see photos.
- You say yes, and we confirm the exact sizes on site as part of the job, before anything is ordered.
A long walk from the driveway to the spot is worth a photo too, because access to the yard is one of the things that moves the price. If your project needs a visit before we can price it, we'll tell you up front, before anyone drives out. The cost page lists the rest.
