Explore Our Wide Range of Outdoor Living Solutions

Pavilion

Pavilions

Add elegance and protection from the elements with a custom-built pavilion. Perfect for dining areas or lounging spaces, pavilions provide shade and architectural interest to any backyard.

Wooden Shed

Sheds

Stylish and practical, our sheds do more than store tools—they complement your home’s design and help you keep your outdoor space clutter-free and organized.

Outdoor Living Firepit

Firepits and Fireplaces

Whether wood-burning or gas, a custom fire feature sets the stage for evening conversations, late-night s’mores, and year-round outdoor enjoyment in Minnesota’s unpredictable weather.

Outdoor Bar

Outdoor Bars

Hosting is easier when the bar is just steps from your patio. From stonework to sleek countertops, we design bars that are both functional and visually striking.

Outdoor Kitchen

Outdoor Kitchens

Upgrade from a simple grill to a full outdoor kitchen setup. With storage, prep space, and built-in appliances, outdoor cooking becomes effortless and stylish.

Hot Tub

Hot Tubs

There’s nothing quite like sinking into a hot tub after a long day. We can incorporate it seamlessly into your deck or patio for privacy and comfort.

Why Choose CHS Custom Decks & Design

Privacy Screens

Create a sense of separation and intimacy with privacy screens that block the view while still letting in air and light—ideal for townhomes or densely packed neighborhoods.

Privacy Walls

Privacy Walls

Need a little more separation? Custom privacy walls give you full coverage and a beautiful backdrop for your space—especially useful near hot tubs or dining areas.

Why Is a Nice Outdoor Living Space Important?

We understands the value of outdoor space. A well-planned exterior adds comfort, function, and long-term value. Our backyard living solutions are built with intention.

Year-Round Usability

A covered pavilion or heated fireplace makes your space usable even in chillier months. We build with Minnesota's climate in mind, so you’re not limited by the season.

Entertaining Made Easy

From an outdoor bar to built-in seating, every element is designed to enhance hospitality. Your backyard becomes the go-to spot for gatherings—large or small.

Personal Wellness

Spending time outdoors reduces stress and improves well-being. Whether it’s morning coffee on a quiet bench or soaking in your hot tub, these moments matter.

Increased Home Value

Outdoor features aren't just lifestyle upgrades—they’re smart investments. Buyers increasingly seek homes with well-designed exterior spaces.

Custom Design That Fits You

No cookie-cutter templates here. We listen closely to your ideas and build with your goals in mind, creating a space that genuinely fits how you live.

Designed for Comfort, Built for Life Outdoors

Adirondack Chairs

A classic for a reason. Wide arms, angled backs, and timeless lines make Adirondack chairs ideal for lakeside lounging or casual fireside conversation.

Lounge Chairs

Stretch out and soak up the sun. Our lounge chairs bring a resort vibe to your own backyard, whether placed by the pool or under a shaded pergola.

Rocking Chairs

Nostalgic yet functional, rocking chairs provide gentle movement and unbeatable comfort on porches, decks, or tucked into a corner of your pavilion.

Benches (Built-in)

Built-in benches offer smart seating without taking up extra space. Integrated into your deck or around a firepit, they’re both subtle and practical.

Coffee Tables

No outdoor setting is complete without a central surface. We offer sturdy, weather-resistant coffee tables that tie your seating area together beautifully.

Side Tables

Sometimes the smallest piece makes the biggest difference. Side tables add convenience for drinks, books, and décor, right where you need them.

Outdoor Kitchens

From built-in grills to under-counter refrigerators, our outdoor kitchen additions are customized to fit your cooking habits and hosting style.
