What's inside

  1. Essential or Classic. Hand crank or remote control, sizes, heights and snow ratings side by side.
  2. Finishes, mounting and extras. Three finishes at the same price, freestanding or wall-mounted, side screens, perimeter LED lighting around the frame and the heater.
  3. Sizing for your garden. How to measure, the full size grid with prices, and what furniture fits.
  4. Placement and planning checklist. A tick list for the afternoon you spend with a tape measure.
  5. What affects the cost. The pergola, extras, base, electrics and fitting, and who you pay for each.
  6. Four worked budgets. Real configurations priced from our website, from £6,459 to £15,530 for the full project.
  7. The base and fixings. Concrete, patio, decking or lawn: what each needs.
  8. Planning permission basics. The permitted development limits in plain English, with an example.
  9. Installation and timeline. Do it yourself or use an independent installer, and what happens week by week.
  10. Care, FAQs and next steps. Looking after it through the seasons, and the questions we're asked most.
