Spectacular Outdoor Structures

When you want something spectacular like a pergola, composite decks with all the features, or the ultimate cabana, call us first

Exterior Design & Quality Outdoor Building

Garden Structure has been designing outdoor structures for 3 decades. We have become famous for our plans and designs among landscape architects, designers, and builders.

Pergolas & Shade Structures

Our pergola designs and shade structures have been featured in Canadian House and Home, Southern Living, and Canadian Gardening magazines. We specialize in structures that last longer and look better.

Cabana & Pool House Design

Everyone dreams of a beautiful cabana beyond the pool. Our experienced builders and designers work with your budget to create the perfect pool house for your property.

DIY Plans & 3D Renderings

We built our reputation on DIY pergola plans, now converting to 3D format for easier visualization. Pro versions include working drawings with scalable templates and step-by-step instructions.

Permit Drawings & Code Compliance

Professional inspections and permit assistance for non-compliant structures. We help bring decks and outdoor structures up to current building code standards with proper documentation.

Architectural Details That Last

Our architectural details don’t come from books. As carpenters who demolished failed projects, we developed better methods to make outdoor woodwork withstand moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and wind.

Our Story

Our founder Lawrence Winterburn studied woodwork and Japanese temple building techniques, combined with insights from Taunton’s Fine Homebuilding. This unique foundation gave him distinctive design sensibilities.

At 25, he was building custom homes with glass roofs and integral solariums, restaurants, and cabinetry, managing commercial projects up to 50,000 square feet. Growing impatient waiting for architects to design interesting projects, he began working with landscape designers who offered more unique structures.

Within a few years, GardenStructure.com was supplying shade structure details and pergola designs to architects, engineers, and dozens of builders across North America.
