2. Pergola or Gazebo for Shade & Ambience

A pergola or gazebo adds elegance and usable shade to your yard. Use engineered lumber or high-grade hardwoods for structural beams, cedar or treated pine for the visible parts, and finish with trim mouldings and stain or paint, all available at Hall Brothers Lumber. Consider kneewalls or decorative brackets to elevate the design. Their custom millwork options let you personalize it. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

4. Outdoor Living Features: Pergola + Outdoor Kitchen or Bar

For those who love entertaining, combining built pergolas with an outdoor kitchen or bar area is very trendy. Use durable lumber (cedar or treated wood), weather resistant decking materials, and ensure you’ve built proper support for countertops or grill installations. Pair with roof overhangs or partial covers (using engineered lumber) to protect from the elements. Hall Brothers’ wide product range lets you source cabinets, hardware, and accessories to go with your structure. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

5. Garden Structures: Raised Beds, Fences, and Storage Sheds

Smaller projects are great for learning and adding function. Raised garden beds made from cedar or treated pine resist rot. Fences define boundaries and give privacy. Storage sheds can use engineered lumber & siding for walls, roofing materials sold by Hall Brothers, and proper trim work. Even small arbor trellises or potting benches make use of the available millwork and lumber offerings. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Tips for Choosing the Right Materials

  • Know your climate: With Missouri & Illinois weather, you’ll want lumber that resists moisture and insects (treated lumber, cedar, etc.).
  • Match style: The trim mouldings, exterior siding, and millwork at Hall Brothers help you keep a consistent look.
  • Plan for durability: Use engineered lumber where needed for structural strength (e.g. beams, rafters) to minimize warping or sagging over years.
  • Finish well: Paint or stain every part exposed to the elements; seal edges and ends of boards.
  • Get proper supports and hardware: Good fasteners, flashing, and weatherproofing are often under-estimated but essential.
