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.
