Add a solid-roof gathering place designed around shelter, seating, and the setting. RC Deck Co serves Merion Station and the surrounding Main Line.
Plan your projectA pavilion creates a covered outdoor destination with a solid roof. It can frame a dining area or lounge and offer more overhead shelter than an open pergola.
Merion Station is within Lower Merion Township. For a new outdoor structure or an expansion, start with the township’s residential project guidance and the existing property layout.
Roof proportions, column placement, drainage, and the connection to nearby hardscaping guide the design. A freestanding structure should feel connected to the home through the paths and spaces around it.
Compare an open pergola when filtered sunlight matters more than a solid roof. For shelter attached to a deck, explore covered decks; a freestanding pavilion can also anchor a wider outdoor living design. Review all outdoor services in Merion Station or explore pavilions across the Main Line as you compare the scope.
Photos of your existing space, approximate dimensions, and any available survey are useful for the first conversation. The team will review access, existing conditions, and your goals before establishing a detailed scope.
Discuss your project
Include roof projections and the house connection in the proposal so a covered space is considered as a complete addition. Place the freestanding roof, posts, and access routes together so the structure works with the surrounding yard.
Gather a survey, photographs of the house connection, and the dimensions of any existing deck, porch, or patio.
Lower Merion’s guidance addresses setbacks and coverage when reviewing residential expansions. The lot’s existing improvements matter alongside the proposed new space.

A pavilion has a solid roof, while a typical pergola uses open overhead framing. Compare the shelter, daylight, roof drainage, and visual weight you want before choosing the structure.
The site conditions, size, height, materials, access, and details of the design determine the scope. A consultation and site review are needed before RC Deck Co can provide project-specific pricing.
