We offer several different 8x6 pergola kits, including both free-standing and house-attached kits, with some kits made for smaller 4x4 wood frames and others for larger 6x6s. Use the filtering options below to quickly find the perfect 1-block pergola kit for your outdoor space.
When we say a pergola's dimensions are 8x6, we are referring to the size of the roof opening (inside-edge to inside-edge). All of the kits featured on this page are meant to have an 8' wide x 6' deep roof opening. The overall outside-edge to outside-edge dimensions of the pergola will be:
With all of this being said, you can easily change the overall size of your pergola by trimming the wood posts that you plan to use for the roof beams. For example, if you wanted the true outside-edge to outside-edge dimensions of a free-standing pergola to be exactly 8' x 6', you would simply need to trim the roof beam posts to make them 7.3 inches (for 4x4 wood posts) or 11.3 inches (for 6x6 wood posts) shorter than a full 8 feet and 6 feet.
8' x 6' pergolas are different from 6' x 8' pergolas. The wall-mounted pergolas on this page will attach to your home on the 8' width side and come 6' out from the house wall. For free-standing pergolas with a slatted roof, the roof rafters will be mounted to the 6' beams and run the 8-foot width of the pergola (providing more shade when the afternoon/evening sunlight comes from the 8-foot width side). If your afternoon/evening sunlight will come from the 6-foot side, you'll want a 6x8 pergola instead.
