The Asian Pergola Plans

The curved rafters give it a truly oriental feel, and that is where the name dragon pergola originates. It is great for a themed garden construction.

The asian pergola plans show how to build the structure so that everything fits together seemlessly. With the notched rafters, there are no metal fixings showing.

This pergola is sturdy, easy to contruct and looks absolutely amazing!

Can I Really Build This Pergola?

Even though the finished pergola looks stunning, it is actually quite straightforward to build once you know what size fixings to use, where to cut the notches and how to create the curved rafters. Just follow the plans and you will have this wonderful pergola installed in no time at all.

The beauty of building a pergola diy style is that you can modify it so that it exactly suits you taste, style and situation at a fraction of the cost for someone else to come and build it for you. Even if you buy a pergola kit, you will pay more, have less control over the design details, and will have to install it yourself.

So if you feel confident, have a go. It's a great feeling, making a pergola from scratch. And the end result is well worth it!

Usually I would say that you can use the principles outlined in the free pergola plans to build any pergola. However, this one is a little more involved because of the raised curved rafters, so it may be a good idea to have the plans, where you will get a step-by-step guide to building this wonderful decorative corner pergola.

For less than half the price of one of the rafters, you will have, at hand, detailed instructions on how to achieve an absolutely beautiful structure for your home and garden.
