The Free Pergola Plans
I constructed this pergola for a client, whose garden I was giving a 'make-over', and took the photo early on in the reconstruction so that you could see the pergola structure clearly.
The client wanted plain rafter tails - those are the bits sticking out on the top - but you could have a more elaborate design if you wished.
Take a look at the different
rafter tail design templates,
to see just one of the ways in which you can make this pergola a individual and unique garden structure.

Step-By-Step Plans
These downloadable pergola plans are intended for the relative beginner. When you see them, you might think that because there are several pages, they must be complicated. The opposite is true. By including every small detail, hopefully there will be less steam coming out of your ears and more appreciation of your newly found talent!!
Look through the pergola plan, get a general feel and understanding for them, see if you wish to adapt them in any way and then follow the instructions about finding tools and materials.
This pergola is fairly straightforward to build. I have built many of them from this design - and they are all still standing! - and are very beautiful, clothed in scented and colourful climbing plants.
Have a go - you might surprise yourself!
