Trellises & Arbors Columbia, SC

When you choose Fence Company Columbia SC to add beautiful trellises, pergolas and arbors to enhance your Columbia area landscape, you can rely on a highly streamlined process from initial consultation to final installation.

Initial Consultation

We begin every custom trellis and arbor project by meeting onsite to discuss your specific needs and preferences. Key details covered in this initial backyard design consultation include:

• Intended placement of the structure and overall dimensions
• How the new garden structure will interact with and complement existing landscape/ architectural features
• The types of materials (wood, metal, vinyl) under consideration given budget, overall aesthetics and required durability
• Additional functional considerations – e.g. will lighting or ceiling fans be added

With an in-depth understanding of your desired improvements, we then develop an initial set of drawings outlining scale, materials and key details. This allows you to visualize how your new trellis, pergola or arbor will transform the space prior to final approval.

Materials Selection

Once your design vision is established, the next step is finalizing the types of materials used in fabrication. As experienced Columbia trellis and pergola builders handling installations across the region, the team at Fence Company Columbia SC works with you to select materials that check all the boxes in terms of performance, durability and aesthetics. Common material choices include:

Naturally Resilient Woods

• Cedar: Prized for its rich grain patterns and natural resistance to moisture/insects
• Redwood: Stunning rustic looks, paired with excellent durability
• Teak: Natural oil content prevents warping/cracking over decades outdoors

Durable Man-Made Alternatives

For garden structures built to handle the elements year-after-year without signs of wear, man-made materials offer superior longevity and less maintenance. This includes:

• Aluminum: Strong yet lightweight for easier installations, and resistant to rust
• PVC Vinyl: Rigid vinyl maintains structure/color despite sun, rain and insects
• Composite: Blends strength of wood with total resistance to moisture damage

Based on the types of materials indicated in your approved plans, we source everything needed for fabrication from our trusted supplier network. All lumber, hardware and additional components meet rigorous quality control standards for flawless building.

Fabrication & Final Details

With all materials secured, our skilled Columbia fencing contractors turn the plans for your custom trellis, pergola or garden arbor into reality at our 10,000 square foot fabrication facility. Leveraging industry-leading power tools and decades of hands-on building experience, we assemble each structure from the ground up according to the specifications set forth in consultation.

Every joint, corner and connection point is carefully measured, leveled and secured for maximum strength and endurance. We complete any required finishing work – including sanding, staining or painting – so the structure is ready for seamless installation as soon as fabrication is complete.

And to ensure everything comes together smoothly onsite, we pre-assemble arbors, pergolas and large/multi-section trellises to confirm perfect alignment before disassembling the sections for transport.

Throughout the fabrication process, customers are welcome to visit the production facility at scheduled milestones to visually confirm the structure matches expectations in terms of materials, scale and aesthetics. For added peace of mind, we also provide a 1-year installation warranty covering defects in materials/workmanship.
