Small Pergolas: Dimensions, Assembly & Shipping
The Small Pergolas have 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" posts and 1 3/4" x 3 3/4" roof support timbers (lintels) and rafters. Small Pergola with Heavy Timbers have posts that are 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" and roof support timbers (lintels) and rafters are 1 7/8" x 5 3/4".
The standard roof overhangs the posts 9". This can be adjusted to meet your needs. The maximum roof span is 20 feet in either direction with a 4 post structure. The maximum span our design allows is 18' 6" on center between posts. Structures over 20 feet in any direction are built with an additional posts to support spans from 20 to 36 feet.
Standard pergola posts ship 9-feet long. The 9' post height makes the top of the roof 9' also since the top roof timbers line up with the top of the post. It gives you 8' 4" clearance ("ceiling height") under the rafters. About 80% of our pergola customers go with the default 9' post height. We can change the post height if you'd like something a bit taller or shorter— just let us know.
Our Pergola kits are completely assembled in the shop prior to shipping to be certain everything fits together perfectly. All timbers are notched into one another to fit together tightly. There are hundreds of notches in the larger pergolas. Notching is a labor intensive process that results in a very strong "web effect" that distributes wind and weight stresses throughout the structure.
All assembly hardware is included and it is stainless steel.

Pergola Assembly and Shipping
Assembly is best done by two people and usually takes about half a day to a day, depending on size. Take a look at our assembly instructions below for more specific details. If you plan to pour concrete, the project will require an additional half day prior to assembly to square the corners and let the concrete dry.
Pergolas ship in double cardboard boxes strapped to a crate. UPS Freight or another LTL carrier will call a day or two before delivery to set up a 4-hour delivery window. They will deliver the crate with a lift gate truck to your driveway. Once on your driveway, you can cut the straps and lift the individual boxes. If the trucking company shows up at your driveway unprepared with either no lift gate or no pallet jack, it's really not a big deal. Just cut the straps while the pallet is still on the truck and unload the boxes from the truck instead. The individual boxes are packaged under 100 pounds for ease of movement.
If you have assembly questions, email or call us (see pergola assembly instructions below). And, in the unlikely event a part arrives broken, let us know and we will quickly ship a replacement part.

Free Shipping on Most Orders
I received my shipment via UPS today. I cannot express how pleased I am with your redwood and service. First, the wood came very well packaged. Growing up in the moving and storage business, I know something about packaging and freight handling. Double cardboard protected, stapled and taped. Came coast to coast in flying colors. But most important, the redwood. All three boards, including the 2" x 12" x 12 feet! piece, are drop dead gorgeous. Tight grained, very dense, and knot free. Beautiful color. I'm almost afraid to bring them to the job site, the customer will want a full deck replacement!... Thanks again Raul, it has been a rare pleasure doing business with you and your organization. Best regards, Rick
