Custom Trellis and Pergolas
Designed & Fabricated in St. Louis, MO - Installed Regionally & Nationwide
At Lawrence Fabric & Metal Structures, we design and fabricate custom trellis and pergola systems from our headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri, serving clients throughout the Midwest and across the United States.
Our architectural shade structures are engineered for long-term durability, clean modern aesthetics, and performance in diverse climates - from Midwest freeze-thaw cycles to Southern heat and coastal wind zones.
Whether your project is located in St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, Indianapolis, Nashville, Dallas, Denver, or beyond, our team partners with architects, developers, municipalities, and general contractors to deliver precision-built pergola and trellis systems that meet structural and design specifications.
Architectural Trellis & Pergola Systems for Commercial Applications
Our custom metal pergolas and trellises are ideal for:
- Corporate campuses & office parks
- Healthcare facilities
- Universities & K-12 schools
- Multi-family & mixed-use developments
- Hospitality & restaurant patios
- Municipal parks & public spaces
- Retail centers & lifestyle plazas
Each structure is custom fabricated to align with architectural intent, structural load requirements, and regional building codes.
Engineered for Midwest Weather - Built for National Performance
Because we’re headquartered in St. Louis, MO, we understand firsthand how structures must perform in:
- Heavy snow loads
- High wind exposure
- Intense summer heat
- Freeze-thaw expansion cycles
- Severe storm systems
Our pergolas and trellises are engineered using structural steel and aluminum systems designed to withstand environmental stress while maintaining long-term visual appeal.
For projects outside Missouri, our engineering team adapts calculations to meet local code requirements and wind load standards across the country.
Custom Design Flexibility
No two projects are the same. Our trellis and pergola systems can be tailored with:
- Linear, curved, or cantilevered beam designs
- Decorative or minimalist rafter profiles
- Integrated lighting options
- Custom powder-coat finishes
- Architectural sun-shade patterns
- Branded color matching
We collaborate directly with architects and design teams to ensure the final structure enhances the overall building composition - not just provides shade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Custom Trellis & Pergolas
1. What is the difference between a pergola and a trellis?
A pergola typically features structural posts and overhead beams or rafters that create defined architectural shade. A trellis is generally lighter and may support climbing plants or provide decorative screening. Both can be custom fabricated for commercial applications.
2. Does Lawrence Fabric only serve Missouri?
No. While we are headquartered in St. Louis, MO, we serve clients regionally throughout the Midwest and complete projects nationwide. We coordinate shipping and installation support across the U.S.
3. Are your pergolas engineered for snow and wind loads?
Yes. Our systems are engineered to meet local building codes, including snow load and wind load requirements specific to the project’s geographic location.
4. What materials are used in your pergola and trellis systems?
We primarily fabricate using structural steel and aluminum with durable powder-coat finishes for corrosion resistance and long-term performance.
5. Can your trellis systems integrate lighting or branding elements?
Absolutely. Integrated LED lighting, architectural accents, and custom finish colors can be incorporated into the design to align with brand standards or site aesthetics.
