Additional Information

Not Included in this Kit

Wood - Lumber is a) very expensive to ship and b) readily available to most people at local home improvement and building supply stores. By buying your wood locally, you also have more options on the exact type of wood you'd like that is appropriate for your area's climate.

Anchoring Hardware - While this pergola kit does include stainless steel wood screws for securing 4x4" wood posts into the brackets, it does not include anchoring hardware for securing the base brackets into a secure base (i.e. cement pad, deck, landscape toppers, concrete footing, etc.). This is because the anchoring hardware you need will vary based on a) what type of material you're going into and b) local building codes.

Required Lumber & Estimated Cost

As noted above, wood (lumber) is NOT included in this standalone pergola kit, nor is the hardware you'll need to anchor the base brackets to a secure foundation. Before you can build your deck 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
  • Forty-one (41) 12' long 4x4 posts
  • Anchoring hardware (32 pieces)

The estimated cost for the above lumber and anchoring hardware is $1,674. 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.

This DIY kit for building a freestanding pergola will accommodate any free-standing pergola ranging from 25-36 feet by 4-12 feet. The freestanding pergola does not need to be exactly 36' x 12' like in the images on this page.

The kit includes 62 4x4 insert brackets. While the images on this page show that 36 of these brackets are used to add 18 square inline 4x4 roof rafters to your pergola (6 rafters to each of the three roof sections, all a 12' span with standard spacing between rafters) and the remaining 26 brackets are used to add one privacy wall with 13 square 4x4 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, etc.). You can also purchase additional 4x4 insert brackets here.

Perfect for brackets on workbench

I purchased these for connecting 4x4’s to 6x6 legs for a workbench. I need four more to put the workbench table together. They absolutely perfect for this purpose. I can’t wait to get four more!!!

Pergola W/6” X 6” posts

We ordered the set we liked and the next day we were informed that some of the parts were back ordered. That happens and we were fine waiting a few extra weeks to receive everything. Once the brackets arrived two of the boxes had some damage to the exterior box. The packaging was so good that the interior
boxes were damage free (nice job). While we were putting our pergola together we had one rafter bracket that did not have all of the holes in it, nothing a drill and drill bit could not take care of (quality Control 4.9, it happens). We are planing to mount a swinging bed inside of the pergola so we did not use the screws provided instead we used a GRK type of structural screw with a higher weight load per screw. Overall we are very pleased with the brackets and with the ease it was to put together.
