In this video we are building a luxury pergola that costs under £700 in materials. If you’re looking to enhance your outdoor space with an elegant shaded area to relax, entertain and enjoy your garden this comprehensive video will walk you through the entire process.
We share the step by step process from installing the 6” x 6” timber posts, cut the joints in the roof rafters and even how to customise your pergola for that bespoke luxury finish. Stay tuned for all the tips, tricks and techniques making it easy for your to transform your garden with a stunning, bespoke pergola at a cost effective price.

In terms of the height of your pergola, the further away your installation is from the boundary of your property, the better:
- Within 2m of the boundary, the maximum height of your pergola must be no more than 2.5m (8’2”).
- Further away from the boundary, the height of your pergola can be 3m (9’10”).
- A pitched-roof structure (an A-shaped roof) can be no higher than 4m high (13’).
Your pergola will require planning permission if any of the following criteria apply to you:
- Your pergola must not cover more than half of the area of your land.
- You will require planning permission if your pergola is at the front of your house.
- You will need planning permission if your pergola is in a conservation area or on the side of your house between the boundary wall.
In most cases, due to the average size and diameter of a pergola, your oak-framed pergola will not require planning permission. However, it is important to check that all of the regulations are considered when planning your structure.

Every minute of that had a top tip. Thanks!
Also, so nice to see people actually use eye protection rather than safety-squints.

Brilliant as usual. I’ve just watched this cried my eyes out all the way through. My partner wanted to build one of these for us but sadly I lost him to cancer last summer. His friend said he’d make it for me and I won’t say publicly what I have. It ain’t like your one. No beautiful joints, or square. It cost me a fortune too. Your one is amazing. Even though I’m a tad sad, you guys make me smile. I’m so pleased you show everyone how it’s done. AND with banter too x
