After all, this is a tailor- made service for you.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Building a pergola yourself costs less than hiring someone to do it for two reasons. First, a contractor will charge a markup on the materials. Second, you’ll save the entire cost of labor. In exchange for the money you save, you’ll need to dedicate at least one full weekend to the project.

Installation typically takes 2-5 days, depending on the structure size and site preparation.

Both cedar and redwood are some of the best woods for pergolas. Both are rot- and insect-resistant and have gorgeous natural tones that age well. Redwood tends to have a longer life span than cedar, but it also comes at a higher cost. While both options are durable, the best wood between these two for your pergola will primarily depend on your budget.

There are a few differences between pergolas and gazebos. Both structures provide shade, but pergolas are more minimalistic, with four posts and a terraced roof. Gazebos usually have an elevated floor and are typically shaped like a polygon with six or eight open-air sides and two small sets of steps leading up to the platform. Gazebos also tend to have pointed, shingled roofs and ornate accents. If you want a structure that keeps out water on rainy days, a gazebo may be a better option—though you can purchase an awning to go over your pergola to keep out water.

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work.
