If you're running behind schedule, we're happy to store your structure for up to 4 weeks at no extra charge. Please note that we limit storage to 4 weeks. As green oak dries, it shrinks. Shrinkage is normal. In fact, our skilled staff prepares your structure for shrinkage to fuse joints, making them tighter and more robust. Yet, after 4 weeks, joints can become misaligned and harder to assemble, so it's important to limit storage time. Due to logistical limitations WE DO NOT deliver to Scottish Highlands & Islands, Northern Ireland, Channel Islands or any offshore Islands.

A wooden pergola can help you to transform your outdoor space into a wonderfully inviting place, ready for you and your loved ones to enjoy. Garden pergolas combine architectural elegance with perfect functionality to provide you with a beautifully crafted area where you can relax and unwind.

Sizes of the ComponentsThe top options for 3×2 metre wooden pergola kits range from freestanding to attached styles, and sometimes a mix of both. Materials often include wood, vinyl, wrought iron, and aluminium, affecting both cost and ease of installation. Since this kit measures 3×2 metres, it should adequately cover your designated area. Should you notice mould or mildew on the wooden structure, act fast. Left untreated, this can ruin the pergola’s appearance. Also, be cautious of the nails used, as they can stain the wood over time. For cleaning, mix a cup of oxygen bleach with five litres of water, spray it on the affected areas, and rinse thoroughly. For any discolouration due to rusty nails, consider replacing them. Tighten all loose bolts and promptly repair any damaged sections to maintain your pergola’s beauty. The solid, high quality oak used in their construction gives our pergolas strength, durability and beauty. Supplied untreated, you are free to apply any wood stains or preservatives to the oak that you like, or you can leave the pergola untreated for the oak to turn the classic weathered silver look over a number of years.
