What is BETTER DECKS?

Better Decks helps you design, build, and upgrade stunning decks with creative ideas, expert tips, and inspiration to transform your outdoor space.

What's the difference between an arbor and a pergola?

An arbor is smaller (typically 2-4 feet deep) and used to frame a path or entry. A pergola is larger and covers a patio or deck seating area.

Can I install an arbor myself?

Small arbors can be DIY, but custom arbors with proper anchoring and integrated lighting are best left to professionals.

Do you serve Orange and the surrounding area?

Yes, we proudly serve Orange and all of Orange County. We're familiar with local building codes, soil conditions, and weather patterns in the Golden Triangle region, and we build outdoor structures designed to withstand East Texas conditions.

Do you offer a warranty on arbors in Orange?

Yes, every project includes our workmanship guarantee. Material warranties vary by manufacturer — composite decking typically carries 25-50 year warranties, while pressure-treated wood includes manufacturer coverage. We explain all warranty details during your Orange consultation.
