    DIY Garage Pergola: An Easy Curb Appeal Upgrade

    August 24, 2026 /

    You know those projects that aren’t necessarily needed, but once you finish them you wonder why you didn’t do them years ago? This DIY garage pergola was definitely one of those. I’ve been slowly working on the front of our house and adding more character and curb appeal without doing anything too crazy or expensive. Every time I looked at the garage, though, it just felt a little…plain. I absolutely love a good outdoor project like the swinging bench I made or the fire pit that made our back deck so cozy.

After a roof leak ruined part of the flooring in this space, I finally get the chance to replace the ONE thing I’ve wanted to change since we renovated it.

I headed to Home Depot to check out Pergo Outlast flooring and was honestly surprised by how elevated the options are and they’re built to handle real life, too.

We’re officially starting the bedroom makeover + fireplace build, and since we had this wall completely open, it was the perfect time to add @henry.company ULTRATouch Recycled Denim Insulation.
