Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pressure-treated wood is a classic and budget-friendly choice for building a pergola. If you’re going for a more natural look, opt for hardwoods such as redwood and cedar. These naturally resist insects and rot, plus they have stunning color and texture on their own, so you’ll be able to skip stains and paints.

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.

General contractors typically manage home renovation or build projects that last more than a week and involve various skilled tradespeople. Some examples include building a new home or barn, adding an extension or garage, or carrying out major room remodels involving extensive plumbing, electrical, and structural changes.

A pergola needs to be anchored, and typically, concrete is the best anchor option. Pergolas should be anchored to a concrete slab or concrete footings, and this is commonly required by municipal building codes. When applying for a permit to install a pergola, be sure to check the anchoring requirements as well.

A concrete base—or concrete footings, more specifically—is necessary for a freestanding pergola build. A pergola is top-heavy and can’t stand on its own, so it will always need some type of base or support. If you’re attaching a pergola to a deck, the deck’s supportive joists will act as the support, so there will be no concrete base or footings necessary.
