What is a Fair Pergola Price?

When designing their dream-come-true backyards, most people have two things on their minds: the style they’ll love for decades to come, and ensuring they get a good price on everything. Pergolas are becoming an increasingly beloved piece of backyard décor. That’s why people need to know what is —and what definitely isn’t— a fair pergola price.

The average cost of a pergola differs based on two main factors: the size and the material. The cost to build a pressure-treated lumber pergola is the lowest, cedar options are in the middle, and maintenance-free vinyl pergolas are the most expensive.

Average Cost of a Pergola

While you can buy an outdoor pergola at the hardware store, the look and the quality just won’t match what an Amish craftsman can build for you. We’re breaking down the average cost of a pergola, handmade by a skilled craftsman.

Since the size determines the pergola’s cost, we’re breaking it down into three commonly requested sizes:

  • 10X12 pergola — This is the smallest size that most homeowners want. Generally, these pergolas make for great sitting areas with multiple chairs.
  • 10X16 pergola — The most popular pergola size we offer, this option is ideal for a table and chairs.
  • 16X32 pergola — One of the largest pergolas we often build, this size can be large enough to cover your entire deck. Of course, we have built larger pergola for homeowners and commercial properties — let us know what you need, and we’d love to work with you!
