Lattice Privacy Panels

You can add privacy panels to your pergola for a small additional charge; see drawing at right. The lattice is 1 3/4"W slats with 1 3/4"W holes. There are several options in configuring the panels:

• The panels are 48"H each. We can make them a different height if you require—please note that taller panels will require two stacked on top of each other, increasing the price. We'll contact you with a quote.
• The panel(s) will be made long enough to fit between the posts (up to a 16' distance). You'll have the option of adding 1, 2, or 3 panels and choosing the long or short side(s), where applicable.
• When you order the panel(s), please write in the provided comment box during checkout at what height from the ground you'd like the top of the panel(s) to be—we'll drill installation holes in the posts to achieve the height you specify. If no height is specified, we'll ship your posts without the holes so you can determine at installation.
• You can also choose whether you'd like the lattice going vertical-horizontal or diagonal (same cost).

2-Post Pergola Dimensions

Posts are 4x4's while rafters are 2x6's. Roof slats are placed 12" on center by default (as opposed to 18" with our other pergolas). Posts can be ordered 8' long for above-ground installation or 11' for underground installation.

Pergola Finishing Options

All of our pergolas are fully planed, pre-cut, routered, notched, all holes are pre-drilled, and every timber finely sanded. After sanding, there are different finishing options you can choose from:

• We can seal each timber with our premium sealant, which has UV protection that helps keep the surface color of the pergola looking supple and beautiful for several years.
• If you are planning to add another stain or sealant, just order your pergola "unfinished."
• Do you want to paint your pergola to match your house? We’ll add 2 coats of oil-based primer to all the timbers so all you have to do is add one coat of color. Choose the primer option that best suits your needs during checkout: if you plan to paint a dark color, order the gray primer, or if painting a light color, order the off-white primer.

Finish Options

Your furniture can be finished in one of five ways (select during checkout):

• Premium Sealant

  If you want to keep the natural wood tones with a translucent Alkyd oil based product. This finish will hold the surface color for an average of 4 years.

• Unfinished

  Lets you apply your own stain, or let the wood fade to a "weathered look" in a few months.

• Off-White Oil-Based Primer

  If you're going to paint in a light color. (We apply two coats.)

• Gray Oil-Based Primer

  If you're going to paint in a darker color. (We apply two coats.)

• Wax Finish

  If you plan to use your furniture indoors and would like to keep it looking great without sealant or paint.
