About this Pergola Kit Configuration:

Want something completely different? Use our easy design tool to create your own pergola configuration.

Included in this Free-Standing Pergola Side Shade Kit:

This pergola side shade kit will accommodate any stand-alone pergola ranging from 16-24 feet by 8-12 feet. The pergola does not need to be the exact dimensions shown in the images on this page.

The kit includes 2 shade canopies (each up to 12' x 12') in your choice of 2 colors: charcoal (dark gray) or eggshell (a very light beige). The shade canopies are made of fade-resistant 180 GSM High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) knitted fabric that blocks up to 95% of UV rays and is permeable to prevent rain from pooling on top. Each side of each canopy has 4 straps to keep the canopy tight and prevent drooping. The kit also includes all necessary corner and side accessory mounts (including screws) to secure the canopy straps to the beams of the pergola.

This pergola kit also includes a privacy sun shade for one wall (up to 12' wide x 8' tall), available in the same 2 colors (charcoal and eggshell). The sun shade is made of the same material as the two shade canopies and also comes with all the necessary corner and accessory mounts (including screws) to secure the sun shade to one side of the pergola (and to the ground, if desired).

The kit also includes all necessary corner and side accessory mounts (including screws) to secure the shade canopy straps to the corner brackets and beams of the pergola. The kit also includes 32 2x6 insert brackets . While the images on this page show that all 32 brackets are used to add two privacy walls with 8 angled slats each (8' tall with far spacing between slats), you can use the brackets any way you'd like (i.e. adding another privacy wall or half/partial wall, adding a side railing, adding roof rafters below the shade canopies, etc.). You can also purchase additional 2x6 insert brackets here .
