Using a manufactured pergola kit can be an easy way to get your pergola up in no time at all. 

Get some friends round and make an afternoon of it!  It can be really great fun to build, and will be well worth it when you see what you've achieved.



There are so many pergola kits about, there is almost certainly one that will suit your garden perfectly.

• Don't think you are up to all that cutting and notching needed to build your own pergola?

• Don't really have the interest in building a DIY pergola, and yet you're reluctant to pay for someone to come and build it for you?

A  manufactured pergola kit can be a really good compromise.  There are some lovely kits around, in wood, metal and vinyl, all of which give different effects, and therefore lots of choice for you.

Which pergola you choose initially depends on it's purpose:

• Would you like something to make a feature of a corner?
• Does it need to act as an extension to the house?
• Will it be a focal point for a sculpture, plant or even a hot tub.
• Would you like to join two parts of the garden with a gorgeous flower-covered walkway?
• Do you need a shady retreat?

Consider these things carefully before you buy.  Take a look, too, at some ideas to help with the positioning, type and style of your pergola.
