Pergola sizes
The right pergola size comes down to two things: the space you have, and what you want to do under it. Sunnier louvred pergolas come in 12 sizes across two models, from a 3 × 3 m Essential to a 4 × 6 m Classic. This guide shows every size, its price, its footprint and how to choose.

3 × 3 m pergola
Our smallest size, and the entry point to the range. The 3 × 3 m Pergola Essential has a hand crank louvre roof, needs no electrician for the roof and has the highest snow load rating in the Essential range, at 120 kg/m². It suits a patio by the back door, a corner of the garden or a space for a small table and chairs. From £6,459.
3 × 4 m and 4 × 3 m pergolas
A 3 × 4 m pergola and a 4 × 3 m pergola are the same thing: 3 m one way and 4 m the other. It's one of two sizes, with 3 × 5 m, that you can have in either model. Choose the 3 × 4 m Essential (£6,833) for a manual roof, or the 3 × 4 m Classic (£7,550) for an electric roof, a remote and a snow load rating of 320 kg/m². Optional perimeter LED lighting around the frame is available on both models.
Set-out guide for a freestanding 3 × 4 m Classic: 3,100 × 4,025 mm across the outside of the posts, and 3,153 × 4,078 mm from base plate to base plate.
4 × 4 m pergola
The 4 × 4 m Pergola Classic gives you a square footprint, with the same space in both directions. Across the outside of the posts it measures 4,025 × 4,025 mm, and 4,078 × 4,078 mm from base plate to base plate. From £8,849, with a snow load rating of 160 kg/m².
Larger sizes: 3 × 5 m up to 4 × 6 m
For longer spaces, Classic comes in 5 m and 6 m lengths in 3 m, 3.5 m and 4 m widths, and Essential comes in 3 × 5 m. A freestanding 3 × 5 m Classic measures 3,100 × 5,045 mm across the outside of the posts, and a 4 × 5 m measures 4,025 × 5,045 mm. The biggest is the 4 × 6 m Classic, from £11,899. See our guide to large pergolas for more on the biggest sizes.
Freestanding or wall-mounted
Every size can be freestanding or fixed to a wall, at the same price. A freestanding pergola can go anywhere on a suitable base, from the end of the garden to the middle of a patio. A wall-mounted pergola fixes to the back of the house. On a wall-mounted Essential the louvres run parallel to the wall. Read our guide to wall-mounted pergolas.
Height
Both models have a standard height of 2,350 mm to the underside of the beam. The beam itself is 150 mm deep. On Classic you can choose a custom height from 2,100 to 2,800 mm, for £250. That can help under a low first-floor window, or where you want more headroom. If planning rules are a concern, read our planning permission guide.
How to choose your size
- Measure the space. Mark out the footprint on the ground with string or tape, using the post measurements above. Check paths, doors, drains and steps.
- Picture what goes underneath. Set out the table, chairs or sofa you plan to use, and leave room to walk around them and pull chairs out.
- Look up. Check for windows, gutters, trees and overhead cables.
- Think about the base. Each post needs a suitable fixing on concrete, stone, timber decking or prepared foundations. Where point foundations are used, the recommended size is 600 × 600 × 800 mm.
- Talk it through. Send us your measurements or a photo, or book a free consultation.
