Frequently Asked Freestanding Pergola Questions
A freestanding pergola, also sometimes called a self-supporting pergola, is totally independent of the house or your garden fence or yard wall. This means you can install a freestanding pergola wherever you like, but the posts must be solidly anchored to the ground. You may need to adjust the ground surface depending on your choice of location.
A freestanding pergola can be used year-round as a contemporary patio or just in the summer months if you opt for a design without a roof. Create a stunning feature in your garden or yard, a haven of greenery or an extension of your home living space with furniture, lighting or even an outdoor kitchen.
A freestanding pergola is an economic way to transform a featureless or flat garden, providing interest and a focal point. The perfect outdoor hideaway for that essential peace and quiet and downtime, there are different sizes and styles, which make these rustic features one of the most versatile additions to your garden or outdoor area. A blank canvas, they are easy to personalise with furniture, shrubs, flowers and lighting. Create a natural country look or something crisp and contemporary.
Our freestanding pergolas are built from the best quality timber, hand-selected to offer the maximum durability and rustic style for your home.
Freestanding Pergola
Name: Amanda Simpson
Location: Louth, Lincolnshire
Cost: £1,026
Amanda has a house in an exposed location, so wanted something to add a feature to her garden which was also windproof and safe. We located a freestanding pergola in a sheltered area to protect it and to allow Amanda to create a green haven with plants and shrubs. This proved the perfect location for a hot tub, something they would never have considered before because the area behind the house was too exposed.
Name: Jim Upton
Location: Barrow-in-Furnes
Cost: £926
A freestanding pergola and decking kit was the focal point of a garden makeover, transforming a rather plain and uninspiring yard into a welcoming outdoor room with interest and design features. The lack of sides and roof mean the space doesn’t look cluttered or overcrowded, and the owners have opted for a fabulous design with rattan furniture, hanging baskets and fairy lights.

"This was my second pergola purchase from Pergola.co.uk, and I went back to them because I was impressed with the level and speed of service. I am new to pergolas and have no real gardening experience, but I am thrilled at the difference just one pergola has made, and because my garden is quite big, I decided to get another one. I have opted for a freestanding pergola again as my garden design is chaotic, to say the least, and I love the flexibility and versatility they offer."

"I have two holiday lets, and because they are barn conversions, the gardens are quite plain and unimaginative plus, they overlook one another, so privacy is not great, something guests have commented on in the past. I’m very pleased with my purchase from Pergola.co.uk as they recommended just the right freestanding pergolas in terms of size and versatility. I have been able to create luxurious and secluded areas in both gardens, which even seem to have made a difference to my booking rates. I can’t recommend this company highly enough."

"I have a small courtyard behind my terraced house in a conservation area which is overlooked by several other properties. This has always put me off going outside if I’m honest, and options to change the garden with permanent structures are quite limited. I decided to try a pergola from Pergolas.co.uk, and I’m thrilled with the result. It hasn’t overshadowed the space, which is compact but offers a real outdoor haven plus when the plants have finished growing, it will have an almost totally private green roof. Service was quick and delivery prompt - I couldn’t have asked for more."

"I opted for a freestanding pergola because, to be quite honest, I wasn’t sure where I wanted to put it or where it would look best. In the end, we tried a number of different locations before we hit on the right one, which was not what we initially envisioned. A freestanding pergola offers the ultimate in flexibility, and we have already moved it to a new location when we updated our garden design. The advice from Pergola.co.uk was excellent, especially as we had never bought a pergola before."

What Our Customers Are Saying
What is a Freestanding Pergola?
A freestanding pergola just means a pergola that is not attached to the house or a fence or wall; these are commonly known as lean-to pergolas. This doesn’t mean that you can’t locate them next to your boundary or against the house, but it does mean that you won’t damage any other solid structure as the pergola won’t be fixed to it.
Why choose a Freestanding Pergola?
Freestanding pergolas are the most versatile of all the pergola family. With such a range of sizes and designs, there is no location that won’t benefit from this stylish feature.
Freestanding pergolas can be painted or stained to match your garden furniture and decking, the perfect complement to any outdoor design. Use a freestanding pergola to extend your living space or create a hidden green oasis away from the hustle and bustle of family life. A freestanding pergola can be used to link different garden designs or provide contrast. There are limitless decorative possibilities with climbing plants, shrubs, hanging baskets, and lighting.
