What your project can include
Timber pergolas
Timber can complement planting and natural paving. Discuss member sizes, connections, finish and maintenance, together with the amount and direction of shade the structure is intended to provide.
Aluminium pergolas
A metal structure can suit a contemporary terrace. Compare the actual system, finish and roof arrangement rather than assuming every pergola provides the same level of shade or weather protection.
Supports and connection details
Posts, foundations and connections to an existing building need to be considered early. Good detailing helps the structure fit the space without obstructing doors, paths or outdoor furniture.
Before the site discussion
A little preparation helps
- Estimate the footprint and note sun direction at the times you will use it.
- Choose whether it should be freestanding or connected to the house.
- Share the location, exposure and preferred balance of shade and openness.
What affects the quote?
Size, material, finish, foundations and the roof or slat system influence cost. Ask how installation, fixing details and making good are included. Site conditions and any relevant design or approval requirements should be clarified before ordering.
Discuss the scope, availability and pricing during the site visit, then review each contractor’s quotation independently.

Useful to know
Pergola questions
Will a pergola keep the rain out?
An open-slatted pergola is primarily a shade structure. Weather protection depends on the specified roof system and drainage details, so be explicit about what you need.
Which material is easier to maintain?
Maintenance depends on the exact material, finish and exposure. Ask about cleaning, recoating and hardware care for the proposed timber or aluminium system.
Can a pergola be added above an existing patio?
Often, but the support locations and foundations need assessment. Existing paving should not be assumed to provide adequate support for a new structure.
