What Are Pergola Kits?

A pergola is a great way to dress up your outdoor space and provide shade on a sun-washed patio or deck. Many homeowners opt to build a pergola from a kit rather than from scratch.

A pergola kit includes all the precut, notched and drilled pieces of wood, vinyl or other material, plus the required hardware you need to assemble and anchor your pergola. Some kits provide prestained wood, while others require the extra step of treating and staining the wood before assembly.

Though instructions for assembly are included, quality can vary. Check for reviews that flag hard-to-follow or confusing instructions before purchase. If you get stuck, there are helpful tutorials and videos online with tips and instructions. Though most are focused on DIY pergola projects, a good portion of the steps are applicable to pergolas built from kits as well.
