Perfect Pergolas Ltd

There are 2 different sorts of pergolas:

1) Traditional ‘Lean-to’ Mediterranean pergolas

2) ‘Stand-alone’ garden or patio pergolas

The ‘Lean-to’ pergolas are designed to be attached to your house or perhaps a wall or garage in your garden. The 'Stand-alone' pergolas can be positioned away from buildings - anywhere in the garden that is big and flat enough in effect!

There are a few planning requirements to adhere to and we have produced the following list to help you decide if you need to contact your local planning department - please follow the link below:

Because the Outdoor Garden Design Act 2008 is interpreted in different ways by the different local planning departments we always recommend that it worth a call to your local council to inform them of what you are planning to do. However, as a timber frame is not considered a permanent building or structure it will be fine as long as you do not infringe any of the guidelines above.
