How you will be using your pergola?

Consider the use your pergola will serve. Will your pergola’s main use be to provide shade and shelter? In which case, you may want to consider one of our options with a remote-controlled retractable roof. This will allow you to adjust the roof according to the ever-changing British weather. Or if you are looking to create a space that you can enjoy late into the evening, our options with built-in lighting may be the better choice. This way there is no need to come inside when the sun goes down; instead you can enjoy your garden long after dark. If you're looking for a way to add the finishing touch to your garden, our stylish pergola options have something to suit every garden design.

Where you will be using your pergola

Wherever you set up your metal pergola kit, it is sure to create a small haven for you. The location—whether you are positioning your pergola over an outdoor dining table or creating poolside shade—may affect your choice of pergola. In general, we advise you choose the largest you can afford as you'll never regret the additional space.

Pergola size

Now that you have considered the use of your pergola and where you are going to put it, you should think about the size. Our ranges are available in a variety of sizes. You will want to get an option that is large enough to fit over your furniture or other chosen area, but not too large to look out of place. Be sure to take into consideration both the length and height of the structure. Think about any surrounding objects, like trees, foliage or structures that may impact the fit of the pergola, as well as the final appearance.

The addition of a metal pergola to your garden or patio is the perfect way to create a private, shaded space for relaxing and dining in comfort. It will also make a hard-wearing and durable structure that can add the finishing touch to bring your garden together.
