It can be 72 and sunny
and your patio still sits half empty.

Too hot at five, a ten-minute rain at seven, and the whole room moves inside. A motorized louvered roof keeps the seats you already own selling all night — lighting, heat and audio built into the frame. Fabricated in Fargo by MetalWerks, installed by our crew.

The patio math

Your patio is a room. Here's what the room is worth.

People here drive across town for a patio worth sitting on — there aren't many. A pergola makes yours one of them, and puts the money into the property instead of out the door on umbrellas you replace every few years.

Put your own numbers in This is one worked example, not a promise.
In a season of patio sales$336,000
Every usable night$2,240

A pergola has one job here — give you more of those nights, and better ones. More usable evenings, and people who stay for another round instead of moving inside.

Revenue on the nights you give away Same seats, same staff, same kitchen — except people stay on your patio instead of leaving when the sun drops or the sky opens.
An improvement to the building, not a line item Umbrellas, tents and heaters are an expense you buy again every few years. A permanent aluminum structure stays with the property.
The only good patio on the block Fargo–Moorhead turns out for a patio worth sitting on, and everyone knows where the good ones are. Put your name in that conversation every night.

Same build as our residential line. Priced per project.

Commercial spans, railings, egress and occupancy all change the engineering, so there's no square-foot number that would be honest here. We measure, work out the seat count you'd gain, and quote the project.

Everything in the residential build carries over — motorized louvered roof, fan beams with puck lighting, JellyFish permanent LED, Sonance audio. Heaters are the ones that pay for themselves fastest on a patio.

Every commercial pergola comes with a sponsored opening night — ask us how that works.

How it goes

Four steps. No surprises.

  1. 01We measure and count seatsAbout 45 minutes on site. You get the seat map and the math before we leave.
  2. 02Design and engineeringA 3D design of the structure on your patio, engineered for spans, railings and egress.
  3. 03Drawings and permitWe prepare and submit — commercial drawings take longer than a backyard, and we plan for it.
  4. 04Fabrication and installBuilt in Fargo by MetalWerks, installed by our crew, timed around your service hours.

A few questions about the patio, then we come out, measure, and put the seat count you'd gain against the build cost.

Step 1 of 2

About the patio

This is what we need to work out the seat count you'd gain.

What kind of place is it?

Roughly how many seats would it cover?

What's there now?

When are you hoping to open it?

Do you own the building or lease it?

Straight answers

What owners ask us first

What does a commercial pergola run?

Per project, not per square foot. Commercial spans are longer, railings and egress have to be engineered, and occupancy load changes what the structure has to carry — a square-foot number would be a guess dressed up as a quote.

What we do instead: measure the patio, work out the seats you'd actually gain, and put that against the build cost so you can see the payback in seasons rather than guessing. The patio math above is the same calculation we run, with your numbers in it.

Can you build over a rooftop or second-level patio?

Yes — that's a normal commercial job, and it's usually where the pergola makes the biggest difference, because a rooftop is the first place people leave when the weather turns. The structural attachment gets engineered against the existing building, so the drawings step is longer than a backyard.

Bring us the patio and we'll tell you what it can carry before anybody spends money on design.

Is there still time to open it this year?

If the patio's already built, the job is fabrication plus install — and that can still land this fall. If footings or structural work need to go in, the ground freeze controls the calendar, not us. Book the assessment and we'll give you a straight date, including if the honest answer is opening with next patio season.

We lease the building — can we still do this?

Usually, with the landlord in the conversation early. A permanent structure improves their building, which is a different pitch than asking permission for signage — and we've made that pitch before. Flag it on the form and we'll bring what the landlord will want to see.

The patio's the cheapest room you'll ever add.
