Pergolas Guide & Inspiration
Where to start with your pergola design
Quick links: Our Range Popular Products
Pergolas are one of the oldest forms of architectural structures, the earliest can be traced back to Egyptian times to the gardens of Thebes. While uses have changed over time, pergolas are still a popular way to add structure and shade to gardens and homes, and to add a touch of class. Consisting of pillars and cross beams, pergolas have evolved from the large stone pillars of ancient times to more simplistic, stylish designs that can protect and extend your outdoor enjoyment, year-round.
Whether free-standing or attached to your building, pergolas can be built from a range of materials to create a look that matches your home or landscape. Wooden pergolas are the natural place to start, and Kiwis have an abundance of choices. From NZ-grown radiata pine, engineered pine, or rustic Macrocarpa, to hardwoods like Kwila, or recycled hardwood rail sleepers. Modern homes might opt for an aluminium pergola which can be powder-coated to match the home and provides a lighter, easy maintenance solution.

Looking to create your ultimate outdoor living area? We can help with that.
Explore now:
Solid Pine
New Zealand radiata pine is an economical option and treated H4 or H5 for durability. Radiata is easy to work with and is relatively light. It will last, but expect some natural cracking or warping over the years. Leave it to naturally fade or paint or stain.
Laminated Pine
Laminated pine is structurally engineered timber, made from premium radiata pine that has been finger-joined and laminated to produce a solid, straight, premium-looking product. Laminated pine is supplied pre-primed to prevent moisture ingress but will still require undercoating and top coating.
Macrocarpa
With its golden hue and rural look, Macrocarpa is a Kiwi favourite – especially if you are looking to evoke a more rural feeling. Rough sawn or smooth, Macrocarpa brings solid character and warmth. Unless sealed, Macrocarpa will gradually silver in the sun. Note that Macrocarpa is not durable in-ground, so it is recommended that steel in-ground stirrups or brackets are used to secure your pergola.
Recycled Hardwoods
Recycled hardwoods bring a timeless story to your project. Their age, their dings, and dents all tell of years gone by. Recycled from railway sleepers or from old factory demolition sites, they add age and substance to your pergola and are always a talking point.
Kwila
Kwila is a Kiwi favourite and is found on decks and outdoor furniture throughout the country. This affordable hardwood is harvested from responsibly managed tropical forests. Reddish in colour, it greys over time and is available in posts and beams.
Aluminium
If you’re looking for a modern addition to your outdoor living or thinking of adding a roof to your pergola, then a powder-coated aluminium pergola is a great option. Using the Span Bar system, these aluminium pergolas are both strong and elegant. Curved, single, and double-pitched pergolas can be designed, and when combined with our translucent roofing options, you can protect your outdoor area from the rain and the UV.
