Timber & aluminium pergolas

Pergola installation across Bristol and Bath.

We set out the pergola around the seating area, sun direction, privacy, doors and existing surfaces. Post positions, foundations, height and roof spacing are agreed before installation so the structure fits the garden and how it will be used.

01How much does pergola installation cost in Bristol?
Price depends on size, timber or aluminium construction, foundations, access, roof or shade details and whether decking, paving or screening is included. We measure the site before providing a written quotation.
02Do you install both timber and aluminium pergolas?
Yes. Our completed work includes timber and aluminium structures. The best choice depends on the look, span, maintenance preference and how the pergola connects to the rest of the garden.
03Can a pergola be attached to the house?
A lean-to arrangement may be possible where the wall, levels, drainage and fixing points are suitable. We inspect the proposed position before confirming the structure.
04Can you build a pergola over existing decking or paving?
Often, but the existing construction and post foundations must be checked. A pergola should not rely on surface boards or slabs alone where structural support is required.
05Will a slatted pergola provide shade?
Slatted battens can reduce direct sun while keeping an open structure. The amount and timing of shade depend on orientation, batten spacing and the sun path at the property.
06Does a garden pergola need planning permission?
Many domestic pergolas do not need a planning application, but height, position, property restrictions and conservation or listed status can affect the rules. The property owner should confirm the requirements for the proposed structure.
