Selecting the ideal Big Kahuna™ Pergola starts with determining the space you want to cover. Pergola sizes are based on the length of the rafters and beams. For example, an 8′ × 10′ pergola includes 8-foot rafters and 10-foot beams.
As you choose different sizes, the overall dimensions, as well as the inside and outside post-to-post measurements, will vary accordingly. Understanding these measurements will help ensure your pergola fits your outdoor space perfectly.
For detailed dimensions, post spacing, and size-specific specifications, view the Big Kahuna Dimension Chart.
Shipping & Delivery Information
Standard-size pergola kits typically ship from our Florida facility within 2 to 4 weeks after cleared payment is received. Production and shipping timeframes may vary based on seasonal demand, kit size, and delivery location. For the most up-to-date lead times, please contact our team. Once your pergola ships, transit times generally range from 1 to 7 business days, depending on your location.
How Your Pergola Kit Arrives
Each pergola kit is carefully packaged. We build a custom pallet for every order, securely stack and strap the lumber, and construct protective crating around the shipment to safeguard the materials during transit. Your kit will be delivered via tractor-trailer and must be unloaded by hand, piece by piece. Most drivers are not required to assist with unloading, although some may choose to help. We recommend having 2 to 3 able-bodied adults available to unload the shipment. Most deliveries can be unloaded in approximately 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the pergola kit.
Preparing for Delivery
To remove the protective packaging, we recommend having the following tools available: scissors or a utility knife to cut shipping straps; a drill or screw gun with a Phillips-head bit for crates secured with screws
Because each pergola kit is custom packaged based on its size and configuration, the amount of crating material will vary. Shipment crates include a small number of screws, typically 4 to 6, that must be removed before unloading the pergola components.

Choosing the Right Pergola: Size, Style & Fit
Finding the perfect Big Kahuna Pergola Kit means selecting the right size, style, and configuration for your outdoor space. Whether you're creating a shaded seating area, outdoor dining space, or poolside retreat, the right pergola design enhances both function and aesthetics.
Step 1: Choose Freestanding or Attached
- Freestanding Pergola – A stand-alone structure that creates a focal point in your yard, patio, or garden. Ideal for open spaces where full some shade coverage is needed.
- Attached Pergola – Mounted to your home or another structure, seamlessly extending your patio, deck, or outdoor living area while providing structural support and shade.
Step 2: Understand Pergola Dimensions
Each pergola size is determined by rafter length and beam width, which impact shade coverage and post placement:
- A 14×16 pergola kit has 14-foot rafters and 16-foot beams, covering approximately 224 square feet.
- Post-to-post dimensions are slightly smaller than the overall pergola size, ensuring a secure and well-balanced structure.
- Height options are available to accommodate different spaces and preferences.
Step 3: Find the Right Fit for Your Space
Before selecting a size, consider:
- Available space – Ensure the pergola fits within your designated area with enough clearance.
- Usage needs – Dining area, lounge space, or outdoor workspace? The size should complement your planned use.
- Wind exposure – Big Kahuna Pergola Kit is engineered for up to 175 MPH wind gusts, but proper anchoring ensures optimal stability.
