Pavilion FAQ

Permit requirements vary by city, village, and county in Illinois. Whether you need a permit may depend on the pergola’s size, height, location, and whether it is attached to your home. Check with your local building or zoning department before installation.

Yes. A well-built pergola can be a great addition to an Illinois backyard. When choosing one, consider materials and construction suited for Midwest conditions, including summer heat, rain, wind, freezing temperatures, and snow.

Both materials can work well in Illinois. Wood offers a traditional, natural appearance but typically requires periodic maintenance such as staining or sealing. Vinyl generally requires less routine maintenance, making it an appealing choice for homeowners who prefer easier upkeep.

Pergola setback requirements vary by municipality and county. Local zoning regulations may specify distances from property lines, neighboring structures, easements, or other areas. Check your local requirements before deciding where to install your pergola.

Pergolas provide partial shade through their open-roof design. The amount of shade depends on the design, orientation, and time of day. They’re a good option when you want some relief from direct sunlight without creating a completely covered outdoor space.

Depending on the pergola design, you may be able to add lighting, fans, climbing plants, curtains, or other features to personalize the space. Electrical additions should follow local codes and may require permits or professional installation.

Yes. Pergolas can provide a framework for climbing plants and vines, adding natural shade and character to your outdoor space. When selecting plants, consider varieties suited to Illinois growing conditions and make sure mature plants won’t add more weight than the structure is designed to support.

Pergolas can be installed during much of the year, but spring through fall often provides more favorable conditions for site preparation and installation. Planning ahead can help ensure your pergola is ready to enjoy during the warmer Midwest months.

I have two buildings from Countryside Barns on my property. The first one is a lofted garden shed purchased a delivered in 2016. The second is a garage purchased in 2023. The second was originally going to be a small 8’X12’ garden shed. Due to a variance requirement with the city, I was not able to place the small garden shed in the respectable place I selected on my property. Countryside Barns was understanding, I put a halt on the order 6 days after placing it. Thank you, Jessica! I selected a new location on my property and was able to go bigger 14’X32’. I also decided to go with a portable garage vs a garden shed. With a copy of the approved permit and my down payment I signed the contract. With both buildings I have had a few issues but they were taken care of. EDIT: Photos are from months later, they did not install rock, landscaping, gutters, concrete, or electrical.

Highly recommended. Our new shed fits nicely with our renovated space and looks great. The design process was easy and ended up being just what we wanted. I appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail, and we are sure to get many years of use out of it. It’s great to work with local businesses.

Darcy Newell

Both the product and the installation process exceeded all expectations! Everything was done exactly when they said it would be, and the quality of construction is exceptional. Patrick made the delivery and checked leveling very carefully and even took the time to add a couple bumpers to the door and touch up paint on the base or at a tiny scratch from installation. This shed is certainly built to last!

Marco

I had the pleasure of working with Brian, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome of my experience! From the design of our shed to the seamless delivery, everything exceeded my expectations!
