Building a pergola in your yard was not an easy task as it required a lot of work and construction know-how. Recently, creating a classic pergola garden became an easy process, with wood pergola kits and stained wood pergola kits available.

The construction of a pergola with the help of a kit is definitely an advantage. The first step is to choose a design and the size you need for your garden, as these pergola kits are available in a variety of sizes from small to large and in endless designs. A freestanding pergola is more expensive as it requires four support columns, while a pergola attached to the house requires only two columns

The wood pergola kits are made from pre-cut pine wood, California redwood or cedar, so you can easily choose one of your products. Redwood is the most durable wood, but other woods can be varnished to give it a rustic or Tuscan look, or in any color you want. All kits come with complete instructions for easy installation.

If you want to give your garden a modern, contemporary look, a fiberglass pergola kit is just what you need. These are lighter than wood, but have the strength of steel, so they have a long life. They do not rust or bend and can be varnished in any color of your choice. Vinyl or plastic are another option for a pergola, but their durability is controversial, as they can not withstand the weather and shrink or expand.
