Where to Buy Commonly Specified Items for Building Your Pergola
We specify common fasteners and premade components in our pergola designs for continuity across different designs. Some customers have asked where these items may be purchased. Your local big-box store (Home Depot, Lowes, etc.) will likely carry these. Otherwise, we have Amazon Affiliate links provided below.
We recognize that you may not be able to find some of the items we specify locally. Please see our table of substitute fasteners/components for acceptable alternatives to commonly specified items.
