Sizing & Dimensions
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 โ A stand-alone structure that creates a focal point in your yard, patio, or garden. Ideal for open spaces where full 360ยฐ shade coverage is needed.
- Attached Pergola โ 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 17ร17 pergola kit has 17-foot rafters and 17-foot beams, covering approximately 289 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 โ Ensure the pergola fits within your designated area with enough clearance.
- Usage needs โ Dining area, lounge space, or outdoor workspace? The pergola size should complement your planned use.
- Wind exposure โ Our pergolas are engineered for up to 175 MPH wind gusts, but proper anchoring ensures optimal stability.
For exact measurements and layout details, view the Big Kahuna Dimension Chart 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 code 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 within the lower 48 states, with most orders shipping within 2โ4 weeks. Delivery times may vary based on location and order volume.
What if I need a custom size?
- We offer custom pergola sizes to fit unique spaces. If you donโt see the exact size you need, contact us for a personalized quote.

How are the canopies sized?
The canopy will measure approximately 4 feet less than the pergola size for each dimension; for example, a 12×12 freestanding pergola would receive an 8×8 canopy (inside post to post dimensions) and a 12×12 attached pergola would receive a 10×8 canopy. Another example: a 12ร14 freestanding pergola would receive an 8ร10 canopy (inside post to post dimensions) and a 12×14 attached pergola would receive a 10×10 canopy.
What if I already have a pergola, do you sell the retractable canopies separately?
If you have or are purchasing a pergola from us and would like to purchase a canopy for your pergola, you can order an Infinity Canopy on our website and we will facilitate the order processing. Infinity Canopy will configure and ship your canopy directly to you.
The canopy sizes listed on our website are built forย Pergola Depot pergola kits. If the canopy youโre shopping for is to be attached to a Pergola Depot pergola kit, you can purchase the canopy along with your pergola kit. If you did not purchase your pergola kit from us, we recommend that you order your canopy directly from Infinity Canopy to ensure the proper fit.
For fabric samples and questions specific to the Infinity Retractable canopies, or if you require service after you purchase a canopy, please contact Infinity Canopy directly.
