Built for the space

Pergolas designed as part of the garden.

A pergola or gazebo should feel like part of the garden rather than an object simply placed within it. Proportion, position and the relationship with the house, paving and planting all matter.

We design and build both bespoke timber pergolas and custom-designed metal pergolas, open structures and gazebos for seating, dining and entertaining areas. Material, proportions, sections and detailing are selected to suit the architecture, planting and intended use.

Setting out is resolved alongside levels, access and surrounding hard landscaping. Posts, beams, rafters and fixings are planned as one structure so the finished build feels balanced and properly integrated.

Foundations and connections matter as much as the visible structure. A pergola can provide shelter and shade, but it can also work as a strong structural and design feature within the garden, creating height, defining a space and providing permanent support for climbing plants, lighting and other details as the garden develops.

Design, Build & Finish

Structures shaped around the garden

From a classic timber pergola to a custom-designed metal structure or more substantial gazebo, each build is planned around how the space will be used and how it contributes to the wider garden as shelter, structure, a design feature and plant support.

01

Structure

Timber or metal posts, beams and rafters are designed as a complete structural system with appropriate foundations, connections and exterior-grade fixings.

02

Integration

The structure can be coordinated with paving, decking, planting, screening and lighting so it belongs naturally within the finished garden.

03

Finish

Timber can be left to weather naturally or finished with suitable exterior treatments, while custom metal pergolas can be fabricated and finished to suit the architecture and design of the garden.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does a pergola take to build?+

Build time depends on the size, design, foundations, access and finish. A straightforward pergola can be relatively quick, while larger bespoke structures require more preparation and detailing.

Do you build pergolas to bespoke sizes?+

Yes. Our pergolas and gazebos can be sized and detailed around the available space, the property and the way you want to use the garden.

Can a pergola include lighting or screening?+

Yes. Lighting, privacy screening, trellis and provision for climbing plants can all be considered as part of the design and build.

What timber do you use?+

The timber specification depends on the design, span, finish and budget. We select suitable exterior-grade structural timber and appropriate fixings for the project.
