A well-built gazebo brings comfort, shade, and year-round use to any outdoor space. Paired with a professionally constructed deck, it becomes ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or gathering with family without leaving home.
All Pro Decks & Patios designs and builds custom gazebos and decks throughout San Antonio. Each structure is tailored to fit your yard, your style, and how you use the space. From layout planning to final installation, every detail is handled precisely to get an outdoor area that looks beautiful and functions perfectly.
What Is a Gazebo?
A gazebo is a freestanding, roofed structure that provides shelter and shade in your outdoor space. Most are built with wood, cedar, or composite framing and anchored to concrete footings for long-term strength and stability.
Unlike temporary canopies, a professionally installed gazebo is engineered to handle wind loads, weather exposure, and structural upgrades like lighting or ceiling fans. Homeowners can choose hip, gable, or pavilion-style roofs with shingle, metal, or composite finishes to complement the home’s architecture.
Whether mounted to a deck or built as a standalone feature, a custom gazebo offers a protected space for dining, relaxing, or covering a hot tub. As a trusted gazebo contractor in San Antonio, All Pro Decks & Patios designs each project to fit your property’s layout and everyday use.
Types of Outdoor Projects We Build
Outdoor spaces should match how you live—not just look good on paper. Whether you’re starting from scratch or upgrading what you have, our team delivers durable, code-compliant structures that are built for real use and built to last.
- Custom Gazebos
Each gazebo installation is designed to fit your yard’s layout, sun exposure, and function. As experienced gazebo builders, we construct open-air, screened, or partially enclosed structures using cedar, pressure-treated wood, or composite framing—anchored on concrete piers for structural stability. - Deck Installation
Decks are built using pressure-treated framing with composite, PVC, or hardwood surfaces. Whether you need a ground-level platform or a multi-tiered design, our deck contractors handle every phase—from footings and framing to railing and lighting upgrades. - Gazebo and Deck Combinations
Integrating a gazebo into your deck layout means fewer transitions and cleaner lines. Roof loads, framing spans, and surface materials are calculated together so the structure performs as one unit—ideal for shaded lounge areas, outdoor kitchens, or covered spas. - Outdoor Add-Ons and Custom Features
Projects can include built-in seating, pergolas, under-deck drainage, lighting systems, or privacy walls. These features are framed and finished to match the rest of the build structurally and visually.
Design Options & Materials
A successful outdoor project starts with choosing the right materials and structural layout. Your deck or gazebo must match your home’s style, meet code, and hold up to San Antonio’s heat, rain, and seasonal shifts.
Our team helps you make informed choices based on real performance—not just appearance.
Decking Materials
- Composite Decking: Low-maintenance and built to last, composite boards resist moisture, splintering, and fading. Ideal for homeowners who want a long-term solution with minimal upkeep.
- PVC Decking: Lightweight, mold-resistant, and cooler underfoot in the Texas sun. A smart option near pools or high-moisture areas.
- Hardwood Decking: IPE and other tropical hardwoods offer unmatched durability and a high-end look. These dense boards require sealing but last for decades when properly maintained.
- Pressure-Treated Lumber: Used for structural framing and budget-conscious surface options. Treated to resist rot and insect damage.
Gazebo Framing & Roofing
- Framing Materials: Choose from cedar for natural beauty, pressure-treated pine for value, or structural composite materials for low maintenance and stability.
- Roof Styles: Hip, gable, and pyramid-style roofs can be sized and pitched to meet code and match your home’s architecture. Rafters and ridges are spaced for structural loads and attachment points.
- Roofing Options: Asphalt shingles, metal panels, cedar shakes, or synthetic roofing—all chosen for lifespan, weight, and appearance.
Structural Design Considerations
- Deck Layouts: Ground-level, wraparound, and multi-tiered decks are built based on your home’s elevation, property slope, and how you plan to use the space.
- Gazebo Placement: Gazebo builders factor in sun exposure, wind patterns, and drainage when deciding where and how to anchor the structure.
- Integrated Construction: When a gazebo is installed on a deck, structural posts align with deck framing to transfer the roof load to the foundation. No shortcuts—just solid, engineered support.
Gazebos + Outdoor Features Design Ideas
| Feature | How It Works with a Gazebo | Benefits for Homeowners |
|---|---|---|
| Deck Integration | Gazebo posts are anchored to the underlying deck framing and aligned with structural beams. | Seamless transitions between shaded and open-air spaces. |
| Outdoor Kitchen | Installed beneath the gazebo roof with built-in ventilation, counter space, and weather-rated materials. | Year-round cooking and dining, protected from sun and rain. |
| Privacy Screens | Mounted between posts using wood slats, lattice, or composite panels. | Blocks wind and neighboring views; adds comfort and visual separation. |
| Ceiling Fans | Electrical is routed through rafters to a central support beam for secure mounting. | Provides airflow and comfort in hot weather without visible wiring. |
| Lighting Fixtures | Recessed, pendant, or low-voltage lighting installed in the roof structure or beam mounts. | Adds ambiance and extends functionality after sunset. |
| Stone or Paver Base | Used beneath freestanding gazebos to replace dirt or grass with a level, durable surface. | Low-maintenance, slip-resistant, and adds visual weight to the structure. |
| Screened Enclosures | Fine mesh panels fitted to each opening with custom entry points and framed connections. | Keeps insects out and makes the space usable throughout the evening. |
| Hot Tub or Spa Cover | Gazebo is sized and framed around the spa area, allowing roof clearance and airflow. | Provides shade, privacy, and year-round usability for spa owners. |
