Why Burleson Homeowners Are Swapping Patios for Pergolas

Howdy, neighbor! Let’s face it: Burleson, TX summers hit harder than a two-step at Billy Bob’s. While patios turn into heat traps, a custom cedar pergola is like nature’s AC—shaded, breezy, and perfect for sipping sweet tea or hosting crawfish boils. At Tharp Fence & Stain, we don’t just build pergolas in Burleson, TX,; we craft backyard sanctuaries that laugh at humidity, armadillo visitors, and surprise thunderstorms.

Here’s Why Burleson Loves Our Pergolas:
Cedar’s Superpowers: Naturally repels rot, termites, and mold (no toxic chemicals needed!).
Shade Your Way: Add retractable canopies, climbing wisteria, or sun-resistant fabric.
HOA-Approved Designs: From rustic ranch to modern farmhouse—zero violation notices!

3 Myths About Pergolas in Humid Climates—Debunked!

Myth #1: “Pergolas Rot Faster Than a Forgotten Pumpkin”

Truth: Cheap pine warps in 6 months. We use kiln-dried cedar treated with mold-resistant sealants. Pro tip: Stain every 3 years, and your pergola will outlive your lawn gnomes.

Myth #2: “They’re Just Fancy Sunburn Stations”

Truth: Our slatted designs block 70% of UV rays. Add a canopy for full shade during July’s “surface-of-the-sun” afternoons.

Myth #3: “Pergolas Attract Every Bug in the County”

Truth: Poorly built pergolas do. We:

• Space rafters 12” apart (lets breezes in, keeps nests out).
• Recommend citronella plants or discreet mosquito misters.
• Use steel anchors to keep wood off damp ground (bye-bye, termites!).

The #1 Mistake That Invites Mosquitoes (and How to Avoid It)

Stagnant Air & Poor Drainage!
Bad airflow turns pergolas into insect Airbnbs. Here’s our Burleson-tested fix:

1. Rafter Spacing: 12” gaps optimize shade and airflow (mosquitoes hate cross breezes!).
2. Sloped Foundation: Prevents water pooling (no kiddie pools for larvae).
3. Gravel Base: Improves drainage and deters burrowing critters.

Ask Your Builder:

• “How do you prevent standing water?” (We slope + gravel—no exceptions!)
• “Do you use galvanized screws?” (Rusty hardware = weak joints + HOA fines.)

Pro Tip: How to Spot Cheap Materials Like a Texan

Red Flag: “Green” (unseasoned) wood—warps faster than a cowboy’s hat wilts in a downpour.
Red Flag: Lightweight posts (real cedar is dense and smells like a forest).
Red Flag: No mention of stain or sealant options (untreated wood = rot magnet).

Tharp’s Quality Checklist:

• #1 Grade Cedar: We communicate any issues if we see any and we work hard to get you the best quality wood that is available on the market..
• Triple-Layer Stain: Soaks deep to lock out Burleson’s humidity.
• Steel Anchors: Each situation is different, but we take the steps necessary to be sure your newly built pergola will stand the test of time.
