To choose your perfect pergola style, first determine your ideal dimensions based on the desired location of your pergola.
For more detailed information about your pergolaโs dimensions, view our Dimensions Chart. Note that the dimensions for the Big Kahuna Timber Frame Pergola Kits are the same as our standard Big Kahuna Pergola dimensions shown on the chart.
You can choose from a range of rafter and beam lengths. Your rafter and beam lengths will be reflected in your size choice โ for example, a 12ร14 pergola kit will have 12 foot rafters and 14 foot beams. Inner and Outer post-to-post dimensions will also be affected by your choice in size.
Especially with larger sizes, installation will require that you or your pergola installer perform additional tasks not normally required for our standard pergola designs, including raising heavy timbers. Ensure that you have adequate tools, equipment, and people to assist with the installation.
Standard size pergola kits ship from our facility in Florida generally within approximately 3-5 weeks from the day we receive cleared payment. This varies based on season, shipping location, and the size kit. Once your order leaves our production facility in Florida, delivery times are typically between 1-7 days from the date of shipment, depending upon your location. Please contact us for current shipping timeframes.
We custom build a pallet that goes under each kit, stack the pergola pieces on the pallet, then strap the pieces down and build crating around the outside to protect the lumber. The kit will come on the back of a semi truck and you will need to hand unload it piece by piece. For most shipments, the driver is not required to help unload it, but some will assist. The whole process takes about 30-40 minutes depending on the size kit youโve ordered. Just make sure there are 2-3 healthy adults present to unload the lumber for a standard size kit.
Youโll also need a tool to cut the strapping from the crate (scissors or knife) and possibly a screw gun with a Phillips bit to uncrate the lumber. Every kit is crated a little differently due to the different sizes of pergola kits available. Not all crates will need to have screws removed but those that do will usually have 4-6 screws to take out in order to remove the pergola pieces from the crate.
