Elevation views from different angles so you can see how the pergola will look from each side, which means you won’t be surprised after building it.
Lots of details for how everything connects together, meaning no guesswork when it comes to assembling everything.

Why Buy Plans?
A good question. In response, we’d ask, “what value do you put on your time?” Sure, you can picture a pergola design in your head, and then spend a couple hours transferring that onto paper to ensure that you have thought of everything. Then you’ll have to count up all of the wood pieces, components, and fasteners to make sure you order the correct quantities. Skip that hassle - we’ve already done that work for you! We provide a detailed Schedule of Material and plenty of drawing details showing how the pergola fits together. It really couldn’t be any simpler. And with our 30-day, risk-free, money back guarantee, you have nothing to lose!
