Quality outdoor living products since 2008
Built using quality durable wood, every one of our Melbourne pergola kits is built using either pressure treated #1 southern yellow pine lumber or western red rough sawn tight knot cedar. Either choice ensures you will have a sturdy pergola designed with quality craftsmanship and materials. When properly cared for, your pergola will last for many years.
Offered in freestanding or attached pergola kits in over 90 sizes, the Melbourne will be a focal point of your new outdoor design. This pergola, just like the rest of our models, is proudly built per order in the USA with precision and care. The Melbourne comes standard with 6×6 posts, double 2×8 beams, 2×8 notched rafters, stainless steel hardware, and optional post base mounting hardware. Each kit comes complete with all pre-cut, pre-drilled lumber that is marked for easy assembly. Follow along in the step-by-step setup instructions to guide you through assembly.

How to Determine Your Pergola Dimensions and Style
To choose your perfect pergola style, first determine your ideal dimensions based on the desired location of your pergola.
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, an 8×10 pergola kit will have 8 foot rafters and 10 foot beams. Inner and Outer post-to-post dimensions will also be affected by your choice in size.
For more detailed information about your pergola’s dimensions, view our Melbourne Dimension Chart.
Standard size pergola kits ship from our facility in Florida generally within approximately 2-4 weeks from the day we receive cleared payment (please contact us for current shipping timeframes). 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 20-30 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.

Choosing the Right Pergola: Size, Style & Fit
Finding the perfect Melbourne 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 10×10 pergola kit has 10-foot rafters and 10-foot beams, covering approximately 100 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 – Melbourne Pergola Kit is engineered for up to 175 MPH wind gusts, but proper anchoring ensures optimal stability.

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.
What if I need a custom size?
