DIY Pergola Plans

Are you looking for DIY pergola plans for your new weekend project? Would you like to learn how to build a pergola in your yard that is stunning and beautiful for a fraction of the price of ordering a kit or paying a builder?"

This is just what I did! Once I got the plans, it was easy and simple to build my garden pergola.

I couldn't see myself paying a contractor or pergola kit builder $2,500 - $5,000 to do this when I could do it myself.

These DIY pergola plans are the best I have found.

Building A Pergola Can Be Easy

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.

If you are a beginner, start with a simple design such as a square or rectangle shape. This type of design is very simple and easy to build. For some pergola plans, visit the link below.

This project can be an excellent investment. By adding a pergola, you will make a great focal point to your landscape and add value to your property as well.
