What we do

Shade and shelter built around how you live

North Georgia summers run hot and humid, and an outdoor pavilion gives you shade and rain cover so your evenings outside last longer. Clint Tucker has framed houses since the 1980s, and we've built more than 400 cabanas, pavilions, and similar structures, each one designed to its owner's preferences.

What we build

Custom pavilions, cabanas, and larger structures

We start every structure with how you plan to use it and the look you want.

Outdoor pavilions

Each pavilion is designed specifically to your preferences, and it gives you shade on hot afternoons and cover when it rains.

Backyard cabanas

We customize each backyard cabana into your outdoor living space, designed around the way you want to use it.

Pool houses and clubhouses

We also build pool houses and clubhouses. These larger builds run much like building a house, under our general contractor license.

Why Sugar Hill Outdoors

Why homeowners pick us as their pavilion builder

Clint Tucker has led Sugar Hill Outdoors since 1997 and has built houses and commercial buildings. Custom cabanas and pavilions are the work he enjoys most.

Licensed general contractor

We're a licensed Light Commercial and Residential General Contractor in Georgia, so one team and one contract carry your structure from framing to finish.

Licensed design in 3D

Two licensed landscape architects, a title Georgia protects by law, are on our staff, and every pavilion construction project starts with a 3D design.

More than 400 structures

We've built more than 400 cabanas, pavilions, and similar structures over the years, and each one was designed for the people who use it.

Designed around your character

Clint designs each structure to show your character and the way you want to live outside, so yours is custom to you.

Pavilion construction in three steps

Every cabana and pavilion follows the same path: consultation, design, and build.

01 / DISCOVER

Consultation

A licensed landscape architect visits your property to talk through how you want to use the structure and the look you have in mind.

02 / DESIGN

Design

We turn that conversation into a 3D design of your pavilion or cabana, with permit-ready construction documents you own.

03 / BUILD

Build

Builds run from two to three weeks up to several months, depending on scope. Pool houses and clubhouses run much like building a house. You pay as each phase is finished.

Pavilion cost

What a cabana or pavilion costs

Every structure is priced to its own design and scope. Here's where our cabanas and pavilions typically start and how far they can go.

Typical pricing

  • Cabanas and pavilions: typically range from $15,000 to $200,000
  • Your price: specific to your project's design and scope of work

Permits

Permits for your pavilion, handled for you

A detached structure often needs its own permit, and the rules change from one county to the next. Forsyth County issues a Residential Accessory Structure Permit for detached structures, and Flowery Branch sets a 5-foot setback for accessory buildings from side and rear property lines.

As a licensed general contractor, we confirm the rules for your address and handle the permit as part of your project.

Questions before you build a pavilion

Here's what homeowners ask most before their structure goes up.

Our cabanas and pavilions typically range from $15,000 to $200,000. Pricing is specific to each project, since we design every pavilion around the people who will use it. Your consultation sets the exact number for your structure.

A pavilion is a roofed structure with open sides, built for gathering in the shade. A cabana is usually smaller and more private, with some sides partly enclosed. As a pavilion builder, we design both around how you plan to use the space.

Yes. Each cabana and pavilion is designed to your preferences. Clint's goal is a structure that shows your character and the way you want to spend time outside, custom to you.

Our summers run hot and humid, and an outdoor pavilion gives you shade and rain cover, so you can stay outside longer through the warm months. A backyard cabana adds another custom space to your outdoor living area.

Anywhere from two to three weeks up to several months, depending on the scope of work. Pool houses and clubhouses run closer to the timeline of building a house.
