Looking at your outdoor living space, you may find yourself in need of something new. S&amp;L Lumber can help.<\/p>\n<h3>Decks, Pergolas and Gazebos<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4082\" src=\"https:\/\/straitnlamp.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/cedar.png\" alt=\"Pergola\" width=\"310\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triad-inc.com\/strait\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/cedar-200x135.png 200w, https:\/\/triad-inc.com\/strait\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/cedar-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/triad-inc.com\/strait\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/cedar.png 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/>While being cost-effective, pergolas can also add so much to your outdoor area. Built above a deck or patio, a pergola\u00a0is a\u00a0garden feature\u00a0that can add partial shade and architectural spice to your gathering space. They also extend your living area into a perfect summer retreat. Gathering outside in a gazebo is another way to enjoy the end of summer weather. Gazebos are pavilion structures that make it easy to shade ourselves from the sun\u2019s rays and seek protection when rain drops threaten an outdoor picnic. You can even screen them in to keep away buggy pests. If you\u2019ve been planning to fix or install a new deck, there is still time. Whether you choose real wood or composite, a multi-level deck or a one-floor design, the end goal is the same \u2014 smiles, fun and a place to kick back and enjoy the last sunsets of summer.<\/p>\n<h3>Making a Lasting Impression<\/h3>\n<p>No matter what project you have planned, \u2014 building a pergola, gazebo or working on a deck \u2014 S&amp;L Lumber has the materials you need.
