Pergola kits take the guesswork out of building a garden structure: every post, beam and rafter arrives as part of a complete package designed to fit together, so you're assembling rather than improvising.
All the pergolas in this collection are supplied in kit form and cut from solid timber. That means predictable results — the proportions, joints and fixings have been worked out for you — and a build that a competent DIYer can realistically take on.
When comparing wooden pergola kits, look at post dimensions and overall footprint first, then consider extras such as integrated decking. It's worth having a second pair of hands on build day; raising the frame is far easier with two.
Garden storage has to do three things at once: keep your kit dry, stand up to British weather year after year, and actually look right next to your planting. Most cheap options get one of those — ours are designed around all three.
Use the filters to narrow by capacity, material, and feature. If you're not sure where to start, our 60-second storage finder will shortlist three options for your garden.

They're designed for predictable results, so a competent DIYer can realistically take one on. Because the parts are cut to fit and the fixings are specified, there's far less guesswork than building from scratch. It's worth having a second pair of hands on build day, as raising the frame is far easier with two people.
Look at post dimensions and overall footprint first, since these set the scale and presence of the finished structure. Then consider extras such as integrated decking or the level of overhead coverage. Matching the footprint to your available space and the post size to the look you want is the most reliable way to choose.
Kits are supplied ready to assemble, so you'll mainly need standard DIY tools plus something to help hold posts upright while you fix the frame together. The most valuable thing is a helper: raising and squaring the structure is far safer and quicker with two. Always work to the supplied instructions for your kit.
Some pergola kits offer integrated decking as part of the package, giving a level floor beneath the frame. If a kit doesn't include it, you can build a deck separately, though matching proportions takes more planning. Check whether decking is listed with your chosen kit, or look at our combined pergola and decking options.
