The Modern pergola strips the design down to its essential geometry: square-cut beam and rafter ends, beams flush to 10-inch square columns, and a complete absence of decorative profiles. It is a precise, confident box of structure that reads as intentional and architectural in contemporary settings where traditional ornament would feel out of place.
A Baldwin modern pergola is the result of nearly four decades of experience applied to a single goal: building the most beautiful, most durable, most thoughtfully made outdoor structure available. Our CNC manufacturing produces the clean square cuts and flush connections that this style demands, processed to within 0.001" precision.
Essential Geometry: Modern, clean-lined, and square-cut architecture.
Pultruded Fiberglass: Rot-proof, insect-proof, and dimensionally stable material.
Pre-Cambered Beams: 3/8"–1/2" upward crown built-in ensures your beams never sag.
Zero Maintenance Burden: Requires no structural maintenance, unlike wood or vinyl.
Factory Finishing: Finished in Benjamin Moore paint — any color, custom matched.
Concealed Electrical: Hollow members allow for invisible wiring of fans, lights, and heaters.
CNC Precision: Rafter notching and flush connections calibrated for structural honesty.
This commercial property in Connecticut contacted us for a custom, modern pergola that could handle the scale of a public courtyard without traditional ornament.
We worked with their architect to design a structure that captures the essence of modern geometry: flush connections and 10-inch square columns.
The efficiency of pultruded fiberglass allowed us to offer a price that surprised the client — leading them to upgrade their order from one structure to two.
In a minimalist design, there is nowhere for a sloppy joint to hide. Every CNC notch is precision-calibrated for architectural clarity.
Now we cherish every modern project; each structure challenges us to refine our clean-line manufacturing and deliver permanent value.
We can follow our in-house Modern Pergola design or go fully custom. It all starts with a simple drawing or a photo of your space.
Every modern pergola begins as a precise architectural concept designed to serve a specific landscape profile.
The clean lines of a modern structure must be balanced against its intended purpose: whether shading a pool deck or defining an outdoor room.
We work with you to ensure that the proportions of your modern structure speak the same architectural language as your building.
The best modern designs are often the ones that collectively stretch the architectural envelope of what outdoor living can be.
Fiberglass provides the torsional rigidity needed for large-scale modern spans — without the maintenance of heavy materials.
We provide the precision manufacturing; you provide the vision. Let's build your custom modern pergola today.
Jeff LauferMax, Thanks for all your help. Installed pergola yesterday. Looks great.
Joe and Terry MitlyngI have been meaning to send you these pictures of our pergola, showing the Shade Tree awnings, for over a year now. The pictures were taken in September this year, about a year after the pergola was first assembled. My brother and I had just finished washing the pergola with Murphy Oil Soap, and it had that wonderful, like new, honey glow.
Lynn & JimThe pergola is the focus of our garden and patio area. It succeeded in bringing it all together as we had hoped! The shade is more than ample. I do not believe that I would change any of the specs or proportions if I had a chance to alter the order. It worked out marvelously and have received tons of compliments! Your attention to detail and quality construction is to be commended. Thank you for a job well done.
Joe and Terry MitlyngWe have had many positive comments on the pergola. It is a beautiful addition to the house. I am glad that we and you took the time to get the shades right. The decisions to mount the shade tracks to the inside of the beams, and to use the plexiglass section next to the house for year around cover when we are not using the shades, were just right. Feeling of pride each time I look at the finished product.
Jim JohnsonMax, What's the status on the wood that I ordered for the stairs? By the way, the pergola went up without a hitch. Very nice. Looks great and was a joy to assemble.
Fran RosatoHi Guys! The pergola went up yesterday – I’m speechless!!! It’s so beautiful. I want to thank you for the time and effort you put into the design and execution of the project. I will send photos. The company was pleasure to work with from beginning to end. You have it right – don’t change a thing!
Jane Hastay and Peter WeissDear Baldwins, WE LOVE OUR NEW FURNITURE! It is so beautiful, comfortable and functional and it smells good too! We feel like we have a whole new outdoor room on our deck.

Dori PaulYou are wonderful. We sat in under the pergola each meal on Rosh Hashana and our guests said that they felt they were away at a beautiful restaurant or hotel!!
Pat D'AuriaHi Chris, We love the pergola and all our neighbors think it is great. The Baims next door are seriously considering doing one next year. Thanks so much for all your help. Pat
