Outdoor Structures Worth Building

A pergola or outdoor structure is only as good as the carpentry behind it. Toensing Construction builds outdoor structures with proper post bases, well-proportioned framing, and joinery that stays tight through freeze-thaw cycles and wet Rhode Island winters.

We work with homeowners to design structures that suit the scale of their property, integrate with existing decks or patios, and use materials appropriate for long-term outdoor exposure in this climate.

What We Build

  • Freestanding and attached pergolas
  • Shade sails and overhead frameworks
  • Arbors and garden structures
  • Outdoor dining and lounge frameworks
  • Privacy screens and fence structures
  • Post and beam outdoor living areas
  • Deck-integrated overhead structures

What We Can Build for You

From a simple garden arbor to a full post-and-beam outdoor living structure, here is the range of outdoor work Toensing Construction handles.

Attached Pergolas

A pergola attached to your home extends your living space into the yard. We handle ledger connections, post footings, beam sizing, and rafter layouts for structures that are both safe and beautiful.

Freestanding Pergolas

Freestanding pergola structures positioned anywhere on your property. We design for proper proportions, set posts at the right depth for your soil conditions, and build to last through Rhode Island winters.

Garden Arbors and Entryways

Garden arbors, pathway structures, and decorative entryways built with the same craftsmanship we bring to interior work. Sized to your path, gate, or garden entrance.

Outdoor Dining Structures

Overhead structures designed to define and cover an outdoor dining area. We can incorporate lighting blocking and ceiling fan mounting into the framing for year-round usability.

Privacy Structures and Screens

Custom privacy screening using wood lattice, slat panels, or solid board fencing integrated into a structural framework. Designed to block sightlines without making the yard feel closed in.

Deck-Integrated Overhead Structures

Overhead shade structures built as part of or added to an existing deck. We ensure proper structural connection and design the overhead to complement the deck's scale and style.

"Colby is an absolute gem! His attention to detail and craftsmanship are top notch. In areas in which I thought he would repair rotten wood, he re-built entire sections with precision and beauty. He built new railings with beautiful insets. He sloped the flooring for rain runoff, and painted everything to match the existing colors of the house. The railings are now solid as a rock! I very highly recommend Colby for your projects."
