Description

The Brim makes a perfect border when installed between the edge of a deck and garden, or used as a trellis over a walkway. It comes in many different lengths to suit your needs. The Brim pairs well with the Big Kahuna freestanding or attached pergola. Add a handmade rope hammock kit to your Brim pergola and create a new space to relax in your backyard.

As with all of our pergola kits, you choose the end cuts to customize it just the way you want it. This kit is available in pressure treated pine or cedar. It includes 6×6 notched posts, 2×8 beams, 2×6 angle braces, 2×6 rafters (notched over double beam), and 2×2 top slats. We 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 and the necessary hardware. It also includes a set of step-by-step instructions to guide you through the assembly process. Our kits are so easy to assemble that two people can easily have most kits set up in four hours or less with absolutely no construction knowledge whatsoever. It’s that easy!

So choose your size, and your end cut preference, and before you know it you will be enjoying your backyard under a beautiful pergola cut specifically for you.

Choosing the Right Pergola: Size, Style & Fit

Finding the perfect Brim Pergola Kit means selecting the right size, style, and configuration for your outdoor space. Whether you’re creating a border for your outdoor seating area, outdoor dining space, or poolside retreat, the right pergola design enhances both function and aesthetics.

Step 1: Choose Pergola Wood Type

  • #1 Pressure-Treated Southern Yellow Pine – Affordable, sturdy, rot and insect resistant and able to withstand severe elements. Wait 2-3 months to apply stain, paint, or sealant and then sealant every other year.
  • Rough Sawn Western Red Cedar – Lightweight, highly resistant to decay, and withstands severe elements. Apply stain, paint, or sealant right away and then sealant every other year. 

Step 2: Understand Pergola Dimensions

Each pergola size is the overall tip to tip of the beam width, which impact post placement:

  • For example, an 8 foot pergola kit has 8-foot beams.
  • 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 garden accent? The size should complement your planned use.
  • Sturdy design – Brim Pergola Kit is designed for extreme weather conditions, but proper anchoring ensures optimal stability. 

For exact measurements and layout details, view the Brim Dimension Chart above to see how each size fits your space.

FAQs

Do I need a permit to install a pergola?

Permit requirements vary by location. We recommend checking with your local building department to determine if a permit is needed for your pergola installation.

How do I secure the pergola to concrete or pavers?

Our pergola kits can be anchored to concrete or pavers using post-mounting hardware. We offer optional galvanized post brackets to provide extra stability. If installing on pavers, ensure the surface is reinforced with a solid foundation underneath.

Can I stain or paint the pergola?

Yes! The pressure-treated pine option can be stained or painted after drying, while the cedar pergola can be sealed, stained, or left untreated for a natural look. Proper finishing extends the life of your pergola.

How long does shipping take?

We offer free shipping to the lower 48 states, with most orders shipping within 2–4 weeks + transit time. Delivery times may vary based on location and order volume.
