|  Hi
I’m George Hirst, Owner of Average Joe’s
Pergola Depot. I have been in the carpentry business
for over 15 years doing everything from framing houses,
to interior trim, cabinets and anything else you can
think of that involves wood. If it involves cutting
wood I’ve done it. After a long time in the industry
I started a custom deck, fence and rail company called
Surfside Woodworks in the Central Florida area. One
day while building a custom pergola in an upscale neighborhood
I was going about the normal routine of what it takes
to build a custom pergola as I’ve done many times
before, when the thought popped into my head:
“Hey, I could design easy to assemble pergola
kits based on the pergolas that I custom build on a
daily basis, that would be really easy for people to
put together themselves.”
So I did some research online and found that I wasn’t
the first one to think of this nifty idea. As I kept
looking further and further into it I found that every
website that sells pergola kits online were all marketed
toward people with higher upscale homes. Most of the
pergola kits were confusing to order, and there were
not many options to choose from. They were way overpriced,
and some of them didn’t even have a picture of
the kit that you’re trying to order. So, that’s
when I decided to start Average Joe’s Pergola
Depot and build these same pergolas that I was building
for mostly upscale homes, and make them available for
the Average Joe at Average Joe prices. I wanted to see
average people like myself being able to enjoy their
backyard space just as people in the upscale neighborhoods
whom I was mostly working for.
When you browse our site I’m sure you will find
that we have pergola kits in many different styles and
sizes to choose from. We always use either Western
Red Rough Sawn Tight Knot Cedar or #1 Grade .40 ACQ
Pressure treated pine lumber. (This is marine
grade lumber which is a higher grade than what is normally
found in your home improvement stores.) and we only
use stainless steel hardware to prevent
rotting. Every kit comes complete with all pre-cut,
pre-drilled lumber that is pre-marked for easy
assembly. They also include a set of step by
step instructions to guide you through the assembly
process. Two people can easily have most kits set up
in four hours or less, with absolutely
no construction knowledge whatsoever.
Beware of other online retailers that sell pergola
kits that are mass produced in China with cheap lumber,
coated zinc hardware, and steel plates that hold rafters
together, and have complicated assembly instructions.
The truth is that these types of kits just will not
last. Here at pergoladepot.com we never use any inferior
materials or building practices such as these. We take
pride in the products that we produce and have taken
every step to make certain that your pergola kit will
be easy to install, and stand the test of time no matter
which part of the country you live in.
Our kits were originally designed to be used in the
Central Florida area where we have to deal with extreme
weather situations all year round such as:
- Hurricanes
- The second highest air salt content in the world
- Daily Summer Rain Storms
- Tornadoes
- Winter Drought Conditions
These elements can be detrimental to the life of the
materials used on outdoor products. So as you can see
we have good reason to be sure that our pergolas were
strongly designed with quality materials that could
stand up to these harsh elements.
So go ahead and browse our different designs. Feel
free to shop around other websites. We are confident
that you will not find a quality product for a price
as low as ours that includes Free Shipping.
They are all designed to add beauty and value to your
home without breaking the budget! We have A+ customer
service and a staff that is passionate about what they
do. Our company's mission is simple.
To produce uncompromising quality products
at an affordable price while adhering to these four
core values that we call the 4 P's:
- Perception (Of the task ahead)
- Pursuit (of the end goal)
- Perseverance
- Pride (In a job well done)
Our ordering process is quick and easy. All pergola
kits are backed with a one year limited warranty, and
Shipping is always free!
