Rustic Timber Pergola
The Rustic Timber Pergola is Stillbury's open-roof shade style, shaped by curved corbel braces and a stronger traditional timber presence.
Stillbury pergolas
Open timber shade that finishes the patio without boxing in the sky.
Stillbury pergolas are custom-sized timber shade structures for patios, outdoor kitchens, pool edges, garden rooms, and yards that need a clear place to gather.
Shade
Sized to the patio, the sun, and the way people move through the yard.
Stillbury pergolas are custom-sized timber shade structures for patios, outdoor kitchens, pool edges, garden rooms, and yards that need a clear place to gather.
We design the layout, rafter rhythm, roof scale, and brace style around the home and the way you use the yard.

Available styles
Timber profiles for pergolas.
Modern Wood Pergola
The Modern Wood Pergola keeps the open-roof shade function with a cleaner profile: straight square-cut braces and quieter lines.
Southwest Timber Pergola
Southwest is built around one detail - stepped, stair-step beam ends cut into every rafter tail and corbel, a mission-style motif in natural Douglas fir. Heavy timber, deep overhangs, and an open slatted roof for filtered shade, custom sized to your yard.

Questions
Common questions before the quote.
Will it match my home?
The brace style, roof rhythm, timber scale, and finish direction are chosen around your home instead of pulled from a fixed kit.
How much shade will it give?
Pergolas create filtered shade, roughly 45 to 100 percent of the patio depending on the hour, member depth, and gap. [The shade guide has the numbers by hour](/guides/pergola-roof-and-shade-options). If full rain cover is the goal, a pavilion may be a better fit.

FAQ
Service questions, answered plainly.
Do timber pergolas and pavilions need permits in Utah?
Many projects do require permit review, especially when footings, roof loads, or attachments are involved. Stillbury reviews the structure and local requirements before build work starts.
How long does a custom design-build project take?
Timeline depends on design complexity, permit review, weather, and material lead time. You'll see the expected sequence in writing before you commit to anything.
Are the Rustic and Modern sizes fixed?
No. Render sizes are examples only. Stillbury structures are custom-sized to the yard, house, use case, and code constraints.
