Pergola Footprint Diagram

Our pergola footprint diagram lists the pergola dimensions for freestanding pergolas and attached pergolas in sizes ranging from an 8×8 pergola kit up to a 20×20 pergola kit in these styles: Big Kahuna, Big Kahuna PLUS, Sombrero, Fedora, and Melbourne. These dimensions are for our standard pergola sizes with measurements shown as Rafter Length (Projection or Depth) x Beam Length (Width). Also shown here are pergola kit dimensions to consider when deciding your post lengths and desired height of your pergola.
