If you would like to buy a
wooden
pergola kit, there's a great selection around!
But why choose wood instead of metal
or vinyl?
Wood is a natural material and therefore gentle on the eye, especially
in a more traditional garden. It also has a warmth to it, and it
can
be beautifully crafted - even if it is by machine!
Here are some pergola pictures to give you ideas and inspiration, with
links to the places where you can buy a wooden pergola kit.
Which Pergola
Style Should I Choose?
There's such a choice!
So
I've shown two ways of getting great ideas:
By 'Company':
These
are companies I've used and would recommend.
Categories
Traditional
Pergola
Company
Garden Chic
The main thing to point out
about garden Chic is their incredible
prices! They have some really lovely items, often over a
hundred pounds cheaper than other companies - for the same
product. Can't be bad!
The
'Pergola'
category has a good range of traditional, corner pergola and more
elaborate,
structures(with an unbelievable Rowlinson Oriental Pagoda - you'd need
a big garden for that one!), while the
'Arches' section has arches, of course, but many
could be termed as a pergola arch, so it's worth a look too.
'Decking
Kits', with or without pergola and balustrade, are available,
giving a wonderful place to sit and relax or entertain.
They also have a fabulous range of '
Seated Arbours',
'Gazebos' and
'Summerhouses'(which has a couple of very nice
verandas).
If you are thinking of installing a
patio kit under your pergola, there are some
lovely ones here, again at a really good price.
All in all, Garden Chic is a very good place to start your search.
Going off track a little bit, another company well worth looking at for
paving is a company called
Simply Paving, where I saved £300 on a standard
size patio recently, even compared to my local builder's merchant,
where I have a substantial trade discount. They have excellent
customer support.
Home and
Garden Gifts
This company also has great
prices and a wide range of products.
The main advantage here is that they supply most of their pergola kits
in
- A range of sizes to fit your particular needs
- In a range of post lengths for different ways to
anchor to different surfaces - concreting in; spikes to put into the
ground; bolt down anchors for installing onto a patio.
I have linked this through
to their main
'Garden
Products' page, which gives picture links to their
different sections, for
example 'Pergolas', 'Arbours', 'Arches', 'Gazebos',
'Summerhouses' and many more
accessories to make you pergola, and garden, a welcoming place to spend
time.
Taylors Garden
Buildings
A
specialist 'Garden Buildings' site, which has some really interesting
pergolas and arbours, swinging arbours and seating. Patrticularly
worth noting is the popular Rowlinson corner pergola, which can be seen
with or without the decking and balustrade kit.
While
looking, make sure to scroll down the page, as the bigger pictures are
at the bottom, giving you a much better idea of what their
products
look like.
Greenfingers
I've included these for
their
'Arbours and Arches', where they have many products in both
wood and metal at very good prices.
B&Q
Have a wide range of
oriental pergolas and some really good extended
pergolas with decking. The best time to buy a pergola kit is when they
have their offers on garden products, at certain times of the year, as
the saving can amount to a substantial discount.
Amazon
A good range of pergolas, arches, arbours and gazebos, which can be
found
here.
__________________________________
I hope these pergola
pictures have given you some ideas on which wooden
pergola kit you might like to buy.
Pergolas, gazebos, arbours and arches really do make a statement in a
garden, giving it height, interest and a wonderfully welcoming space in
which to entertain or simply relax.
When you are finished, try covering your newly aquired pergola in
wonderful
climbing
plants. They really are the icing on the cake!
