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.

Can you fix my arbor in East Texas, or do I need a full replacement?

We assess every arbor honestly. If less than 20% of the structure is damaged, repair is usually the right call. If the damage is more extensive, we'll explain why replacement is more cost-effective. Free inspections in East Texas.

What warranty comes with a arbor from Better Decks?

Our workmanship is guaranteed, and material warranties range from 10 years on pressure-treated wood to 50 years on premium composite. We stand behind every East Texas project and are here for ongoing support.
