Pergola Installation in New Orleans – Comfort and Beauty in One Place
New Orleans homeowners want more from their backyards. They want a shaded space to entertain, relax, and spend time outdoors without surrendering to the heat. The problem is that most outdoor structures were not designed for this climate. A pergola built with the wrong material or improperly installed in South Louisiana’s humidity, UV exposure, and tropical storm conditions will warp, rot, or fail within a few seasons.
Big Easy Fences designs and installs custom pergolas built specifically for New Orleans conditions. We help you choose the right material, style, and size, then handle the full installation from permitting to final post.

What Is a Pergola?
A pergola is an open-frame outdoor structure with vertical posts and a horizontal lattice or slatted roof. It provides partial shade and defines an outdoor living area without fully enclosing it. Unlike a patio cover, which uses solid roofing material to block rain completely, a pergola filters light and allows airflow. This is a significant advantage in New Orleans’ heat.
A gazebo is a fully enclosed, freestanding structure with a solid roof and often built on a raised platform. A pergola is open on the sides and typically has an open or slatted overhead structure. If you want shade without the closed-in feeling of a gazebo or the full coverage of a patio cover, a pergola is the right fit.
