Pergola Plans

The pergola plans include complete instructions, construction diagrams and a list of the materials and tools you’ll need to complete the job. You can simply download the pergola design documents, or have them mailed to you, usually within a couple of days.

If you’re a DIY novice, or you just want to save some time, you can also buy pergola kits which come with all of the components cut and drilled, ready for you to assemble.

Choosing materials for your pergola

You have a number of choices in materials to build your pergola. Natural timbers like red cedar are very popular because they have such a magnificent look, and are particularly well suited if your home has a traditional type of architectural style. An alternative is wood composite, which is a highly rot resistant material manufactured from natural timber fibers mixed with a high tech plastic material.

A wood composite pergola will have a great natural timber look, while being more economical to build, and requiring less maintenance in the long term. You can also build your pergola using foam filled aluminum framing, which is lighter and easier to handle than timber, and will usually last a little longer.
