Big Kahuna™ PLUS Covered Pergola Kits

MasterRib 26-gauge roofing panels can be ordered with the Big Kahuna™ PLUS Covered Pergola Kit to complete your DIY pergola with a roof. Metal roofing option includes appropriate number and length of roofing panels to suit size of pergola, plus 1 ½” roofing screws, side lap Butyl tape sealant and Lap Tek screws, and for PT Pine kits an adhesive barrier for application between wood and metal roofing.

MasterRib metal roofing is an industry leader in strength and durability. Popular and versatile, this metal roofing features a classic look and was designed with extra-wide ribs to increase strength, ease of handling and installation. Another unique feature of the MasterRib metal roofing panel is the extra-large siphoning channel on the under-lap rib installed to provide extra leak resistance in the presence of extreme wind and rain loads. Roofing panels available in several popular Energy Star™certified high reflectance colors.

Note that if you select “No” for Roofing option, we cannot guarantee that your choice of roofing will work with our pergola. Cost of shipping metal roofing separately will result in additional charges.

Please review the MasterRib metal roofing manufacturer information, including: MasterRib Manufacturer Instructions and MasterRib Color Chart.

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 pergola’s dimensions, view our Big Kahuna PLUS Dimensions Chart.

You can choose from a range of rafter and beam lengths. Your rafter and beam lengths will be reflected in your size choice – for example, a 10×12 pergola kit will have 10 foot rafters and 12 foot beams. Inner and Outer post-to-post dimensions will also be affected by your choice in size.

To ensure proper roofing slope and notch fit, installation will require that you or your pergola installer perform additional tasks not normally required for our standard pergola designs, including: post height and slope related measurements; potential for trimming 2 or more post lengths; and pre-drilling for angle brace connections.

To achieve the proper roofing slope and ensure rafters will fit square over the beams, you must ensure the proper post placement and post height differential as described in our Installation Instructions. The following table provides post height differential requirements for each standard rafter size assuming level ground at the installation site.

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 2 days and 12 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 you’ve ordered. Just make sure there are 2-3 healthy adults present to unload the lumber for a standard size kit.

You’ll 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.
