  • More Info About Kit: This top-shade pergola DIY kit will accommodate any free-standing pergola ranging from 26-36 feet by 8-12 feet . The backyard shade pergola does not need to be exactly 36' x 12' like in the images on this page. The kit includes three (3) premium quality charcoal gray shade canopies in your choice of 6 size options: 8x8, 8x10, 8x12, 10x10, 10x12 or 12x12. The 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 the canopies has 4 straps to keep them tight and prevent drooping. The kit also includes 36 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 26 2x4 insert brackets . While the images on this page show that all 26 brackets are used to add one privacy wall with 13 slats ( 8' tall with standard 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 2x4 insert brackets here .
  • Preconfigured Privacy Walls: see this same kit without a privacy wall or with 2 or 3 privacy walls see kit without a wall or w/ 2 or 3 privacy walls
  • Preconfigured Roof: change roof to: straight 2x4s , 2x4s atop beams , 4x4 posts or angled 2x4s
  • Preconfigured Slat Spacing: between privacy wall slats (see kit w/ far or close spacing) between wall slats (see far or close spacing)
  • Required Lumber and Cost: As noted above, wood (lumber) is NOT included in this shade canopy pergola kit, nor is the hardware you'll need to anchor the base brackets to a secure foundation. Before you can build your outdoor shade pergola, you'll need to purchase the following items from a local building supply store or lumber yard (assuming you plan to build a 36' x 12' pergola that is 8' tall): Eight (8) 8' long 4x4 posts Ten (10) 12' long 4x4 posts Thirteen (13) 12' long 2x4 slats Anchoring hardware (32 pieces) The estimated cost for the above lumber and anchoring hardware is $704 . This is only an estimate; actual costs will vary depending on the type of wood you decide to buy, your location, local stores & availability, and various other factors.
