What size should I choose when buying a pergola?

How to choose the right pergola size when you don’t know where to start?

It’s simple, focus on your needs and the purpose of purchasing an aluminum pergola.

Do you want to attach it to your house to provide shade and prevent overheating? Or cover your pool to protect it from prolonged sun exposure? Perhaps you need an outdoor kitchen for barbecue parties?

The right pergola size should always take into account the storage and activity space underneath.

Take a piece of paper and sketch everything you want to place under the pergola—such as the sofa, deck chairs, and table with chairs (grid paper is recommended, scale 1:20, where one square of 5 mm represents 10 cm). You should also allow at least 30 cm of clearance to move the chairs safely, and possibly an additional 45 cm to move easily between furniture pieces. This is especially important if the pergola is located near the property boundary. This exercise will help you roughly calculate the size of the pergola you need.

The 12′ x 12′ pergola is a popular choice; it offers a balanced size that suits most needs.

Larger Pergolas Made Easy

All our modern pergolas are built on a durable support system consisting of four or six high-quality metal posts measuring 10 x 10 cm. The roof is mounted on this structure, with edges elegantly finished alongside the railing. If desired, side walls can be fitted with privacy screens..

Our advanced manufacturing process enables us to offer unique pergolas that are both affordable and easy to assemble. You can rely on their long-lasting quality and durability.

Even assembling larger pergolas poses no difficulties, as the process does not require heavy equipment. Our experienced installation team can efficiently complete the construction and provide expert guidance.

Finally, the cost of pergolas can vary significantly, similar to how the price of an SUV depends on its color and configuration. We recommend selecting a pergola that fits both your budget and size requirements.
