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

Why not invite some friends round and make an afternoon of it? A pergola can be really great fun to build, and will be well worth it when you see what you've achieved, or you are relaxing with a cool drink, and maybe having friends around for a spot of 'al fresco' dining. Bliss. Can't wait!







There are so many pergola kits about, there is almost certainly one that will suit your garden perfectly. Escape from the rigours of life by creating the most wonderfully relaxing and beautiful outdoor living area.

If you would like a metal pergola, of course, it will mean that a pergola kit is the way to go. Thankfully, these pergolas are now powder-coated for excellent protection against the elements and are very good value.

The way to make them look so inviting despite being such simple structures is by adding wonderful furniture, lighting, plants and accessories.

Building a Pergola Made Easy!

Don't think you are up to making a DIY pergola, with all the cutting and notching needed to build your own pergola, and yet are keen to build one of these fantastic structures for all the benefits it will bring? If you're reluctant to pay for someone to come and build it for you a manufactured pergola kit can often be a good compromise.

There are some lovely pergola kits around, in wood, metal and vinyl, all of which give different effects, allowing for lots of choice, to fit in with the style of your garden and the feel you might like to create.

Which pergola you choose will, initially, depend 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 pergola ideas to help with the positioning, type and style of your pergola.

How to choose the perfect manufactured pergola kit

With so many fantastic options available, narrowing down your choice doesn't have to be overwhelming. To help find the perfect match for your outdoor space, ask yourself these three quick questions before diving in:

  • How do you plan to use the space? If you are looking to create a seamless, flowing extension of your indoor dining area, an attached lean-to design is incredibly effective. However, if you want to create a completely dedicated, peaceful sanctuary tucked away in a sunny corner of the garden, a free-standing structure is your best bet.
  • Do you need weather protection? Think about the unpredictable British climate! If you want to use your outdoor space come rain or shine, looking for a kit that can accommodate a fabric canopy, protective awning, or even a waterproof louvred roof will ensure you get maximum use out of it all year round.
  • What is your maintenance style? If you love the natural, rustic warmth of timber and don't mind giving it a little protective treatment every couple of years, wood is wonderful. If you prefer a "set-and-forget" option that requires absolutely zero upkeep, sleek powder-coated metal or aluminium is the way to go.


Roll On Summer!

Pergolas, arches and arbours are well worth the effort to install, more so than any other type of landscaping structure. Given careful thought to placement and style, a pergola can be marvellously enticing place in any garden, bringing height, interest and a welcoming place to relax and unwind.

Here's to a great summer of outdoor living. Enjoy!
