Pergola Installation FAQs

How long does it take to install a pergola?

Most pergola installations are completed in 2–4 days, depending on size, materials, and site conditions. Custom features like lighting, privacy panels, or integrated landscaping may extend the timeline slightly. We provide a clear project schedule so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.

What size pergola should I get?

Pergola size depends on how you plan to use the space and the dimensions of your yard or patio. A common size for seating areas is 10x10 or 12x16 feet, but we can customize to any specification. During our consultation, we’ll help you determine the perfect size for shade coverage, airflow, and visual balance.

What’s the best material for a pergola in New Jersey?

Cedar is a popular choice due to its natural resistance to rot and insects, but vinyl and composite pergolas are ideal for homeowners seeking a low-maintenance option. Each material has different aesthetic and functional benefits, which we’ll review with you based on your goals and local climate considerations.

Do I need a permit to build a pergola in Wrightstown?
