Professional pergola assembly - posts anchored securely, beams level, rafters evenly spaced. Garden pergolas assembled properly so they last, ready for climbing plants, shade sails, or outdoor entertaining.
### Transform Your Garden
Pergolas create instant character - **climbing plant support, outdoor dining areas, shaded seating**. But they're substantial structures that need proper assembly. Posts are heavy, beams need to be level, and anchoring must be solid.
> 🪵 **Anchoring is everything.** A poorly anchored pergola leans, wobbles, and gradually shifts. Properly assembled, they last decades.

Good to Know
> 📍 **Position is permanent** - once posts are anchored and beams attached, moving a pergola is a major job. Take time to get position right first. Consider sun path and future plant growth. **Climbing plants:** - Wisteria gets heavy - needs solid structure - Clematis and roses are lighter - Weight increases when wet - Plan for mature plant size **Devon weather:** - Pressure-treated wood handles our rain - All types handle Devon conditions - Annual treatment extends timber life
Frequently Asked Questions about Pergola assembly in Sidmouth
How are pergola posts anchored?
Depends on ground type. Patio/concrete - bolt-down post shoes. Lawn - post anchors or concrete-set posts. Decking - through-bolting to substructure.
Can you assemble flat-pack pergolas?
Yes - pergolas from B&Q, Wickes, Amazon. Quality varies but I've assembled most common designs and know the quirks.
Does a pergola need planning permission?
Usually not under permitted development if under 2.5m height and 2m from boundaries. Check with Sidmouth Council if unsure.
Can you fit a shade sail too?
Shade sails can attach to pergola posts if the structure is solid enough. Let me know what you're planning.
