Frequently asked questions

What is a pergola?

A pergola is an outdoor garden structure made with upright posts and cross beams that create a shaded area. At night, add some LED lighting to create a cosey ambiance. It can stand alone or be attached to your home, often used to support climbing plants and to make a stylish seating or dining space.

Do you need planning permission for a pergola?

Most modern pergolas in the UK do not need planning permission as long as they meet certain height and placement rules. If your pergola is higher than 2.5 metres, close to a boundary, or you live in a listed property or conservation area, you may need to apply for permission.

What is the point of a pergola?

A pergola adds both function and style to your garden. It creates shade, defines outdoor living areas, and provides a frame for plants like wisteria or roses. Many people use a pergola to make a more inviting space for relaxing or entertaining.

Can I build a pergola next to my fence in the UK?

Yes, you can usually build a pergola next to your fence, but you must follow height rules. If it is within two metres of a boundary, the maximum height allowed without planning permission is 2.5 metres. Always check local regulations before building, and check our product pages for dimensions.

How tall should a pergola be?

The ideal height is between 2.2 and 2.5 metres. This gives enough headroom while keeping the structure in proportion to your garden. A pergola that is too tall can look out of place, while one too low can feel cramped.

Is it cheaper to build or buy a pergola?

Whether it’s cheaper to build or buy a pergola depends on your skills, tools, and the materials you choose. Building a pergola yourself can save on labour costs, but sourcing high-quality timber, especially oak, and achieving a professional finish can be challenging and time-consuming. Buying a ready-made or pre-designed pergola kit is often more convenient and ensures structural integrity, precise joinery, and a consistent finish. For many homeowners in the UK, purchasing a pergola kit offers better value when considering time, effort, and long-term durability.
