DIY Pergola Plans - How To Build Your Own Pergola

When you are looking to building a new pergola, you should check with your building dept for code requirements and permits that might be required. Check your zoning regulations before starting; you may need a permit or you might not.

There are several types of lumber to choose from; do your research. Pressure treated wood is excellent to prevent rot and decay. Redwood and Cedar are other good choices, but they are a bit more expensive. However, they will look better and last for many years.

Before digging, find out the location of lines such as water, telephone, or electrical to avoid any damage or injury.
