About Pergolas products

Pergolas come in various styles and shapes, giving you plenty of options to consider when deciding on one. However, this can make the final choice all the more challenging. All pergolas in ArchiPro’s premium range are of the highest quality, sourced from trusted suppliers across New Zealand. This helps you narrow your focus, making it easy for you to shop with confidence. They are an important part of an extensive range of shelter and shade systems available on ArchiPro.

Pergolas are outdoor features, usually placed in a garden. They form a shaded walkway, help to cosy up your backyard, add a touch of elegance, and keep your loved ones protected from the elements. Whether you’re searching for pergolas with a roof, wooden pergolas, or some other variety, ArchiPro’s selection from trusted suppliers across New Zealand will have some great options for you.

Open top pergolas

Perfect for use in a sprawling garden or for entertaining guests, open top pergolas are a breezy option for pergola lovers.

Pergolas with roofs

For some extra protection from rain and harsh UV rays, choose pergolas with solid roofs.  

Metal pergolas

Steel pergolas are great at holding their structure and shape, even in the disruptive weather conditions we sometimes get in New Zealand. They are usually made from aluminium or steel. Pergola brackets provide connections between posts, beams and other structural members.

Vinyl pergolas

Vinyl pergolas are incredibly sturdy with a lifespan of over 15 years as they are impervious to rot and suitable for all weather conditions.

Wooden pergolas

Wooden pergolas add a rustic and simplistic touch to any garden or patio, naturally fitting in with their surroundings. A timber pergola can also bring warmth to a patio or garden setting.

The advantages of high-quality pergolas

Pergolas provide a beautiful and sturdy focal point in any backyard. Because they can be made from a variety of materials, a range in quality is to be expected. High quality pergolas have a clean and striking build that look elegant in any outdoor space. High quality pergolas are also more likely to be rust-resistant and durable while retaining their protective properties - meaning lower ongoing maintenance. High quality pergolas are also more likely to feature high quality designs, with detailing that can elevate your garden and outdoor living area.

How to choose pergolas that are right for you

When choosing a pergola, there are various things to keep in mind. First of all, what are your design preferences, and what does your existing indoor or outdoor decor look like? Secondly, how much protection is needed? Thirdly, how big or small do you want it to be? Wooden pergolas look striking against natural or rustic backdrops while metal pergolas suit backyards with a modern or contemporary look. If you live in an area that gets substantial amounts of rain, you may want to consider pergolas with removable roofs instead of open top pergolas - so you can enjoy the outdoors in all types of weather. A pergola on deck may need careful consideration of fixings and drainage, while pergola sides can provide additional shelter from wind. A kitset pergola is one format to consider, while a curved pergola can follow the line of a garden path or seating area.

Do I need planning permission to build a pergola?

It’s always wise to seek a permit and get planning permission before setting up a pergola, even if it’s on your own property. This is especially the case if the pergola is at the front of your house or if your property is in a conservation area. In New Zealand, you will need approval from your local council, and each council will have their own regulations regarding construction standards and materials.

Can a pergola fall over?

While incidents of pergolas falling over are rare, they can happen. There are several ways to reduce this from happening, including adding metal reinforcements, additional diagonal bracing, and surrounding the base with concrete.

How much wind can a pergola withstand?

Most high quality pergolas are wind resistant and can withstand wind speeds of up to 55kph if properly installed and secured.
