Metal Pergola Kits

Coming in all shapes, sizes and styles, a metal pergola, gazebo or arch can add height and elegance to your garden.  There are some stunning ones around!

Whether you are looking for an ultra-modern style, or a more traditional ornate structure, there is sure to be one of these wonderful pergola kits to fit in perfectly with your scheme.

Let's take a look at the ornate ones first, and then we'll get on to the more modern pergolas that are becoming so popular.

Metal Pergola Designs and Styles

Here we have a modern metal pergola with a twist.  The louvred canopy is a popular and attractive addition.

The beauty of metal is that it can, if desired, be moulded into really intricate designs, making an attractive frame for climbing plants. These are usually the wrought iron structures, which lend themselves to a more traditional garden.  There are some very delicate and ornate structures to be found.

Take this one, for example, with its cream, intricate design, making it look like lace.  Incredibly beautiful!

These dining pergolas can often be seen in garden centre displays.

Modern Metal Pergolas

The more modern designs are smoothly crafted to give simple, clean lines that fit comfortably into any contemporary space.

They usually have fixed or moveable fabric shades, making them ideal for eating outdoors.

This one, however, is the first one I've seen with fully rainproof closing aluminium panels; ideal when you need to keep the rain out. My readers will be so pleased! Finding canopies for shade and inclement weather is a question high on their list (only surpassed by maximum beam spans!).

The roof has rigid panels that keep the rain out. Here's how it works.

This beautiful white pergola has the same louvred system. In fact it is the same pergola. This model comes in white or grey as pergola kits:

• 3m square
• 3m x 4m
• 3m x 12m

What an amazing addition to your garden!

Here are some more beautifully designed metal pergolas. Such fabulous styles!

This is a beautifully fretted panel aluminium pergola.

This one is another covered canopy pergola.

This metal gazebo is beautiful in this setting. Very Italian romantic.  What a fabulous place to have a meal outdoors!

Retractable awnings and shades have become very popular lately as we're all wanting to eat outdoors and extend our summers. 

Louvred shades look incredibly stylish, providing different degrees of filtered shade.

Find an excellent selection here.

Add contemporary furniture and soft furnishings to give style and comfort to your pergola.

This is a more traditional style pergola, although the aluminium frame gives a more modern feel. 

A Rose Walk or Colonnade

Here is the Gothic pergola, which will make a lovely walkway in the garden.

This budget arch at £11.99 is very affordable. Very useful, especially if you're on a tight budget.  There are lots of options to choose from, with different styles and price ranges.

By joining the arches together, a walkway effect is a very simple way to have something special in your garden without eating too much into your budget.

An arch is a very economical way to build a walkway pergola. For around as little as £50 it's possible to make a four section long walkway to clothe in beautiful climbers on each upright. It could be extended to any length you prefer.  

All arches, of course, can be joined by simply attaching one arch to the next with sturdy plant ties (or bolts, if the arch has a flat edge). Easy!

Create a romantic pergola, once everything is installed, using both climbing plants and vegetables!

Pergola Canopies and Awnings

If you'd like an free-standing pergola canopy or an attached 'lean to', here are a couple of pergola awnings with retractable shades, and an attached pergola kit with an fixed awning...

All come in kit form and are relatively easy to assemble. Having another pair of hands, however, is helpful: one to hold while the other fits the parts together. Even the more complex designs should see it finished in an hour or so, in all its glory!

Metal Pergola Brackets

These are not strictly metal pergolas, but they do have metal brackets as a distinctive design feature. The brackets come in black and silver; the wood you can choose any colour you wish. Modern and sleek, they can be built in a very short time.

This is the full pergola kit with the posts, rafters and metal brackets...

and here are the brackets sold separately.

Metal Arches and Seated Arbours

A metal arch may, on the other hand, be more suitable.  There are some beautifully intricate designs.  Find this particular selection here.

Metal Gazebos

There are some stunners around, with sturdy, low maintenance, powder coated finishes that will make your gazebo the hub of activity! These imposing structures make an immediate impact.  Here are some very popular ones to get you started...

 This one is waterproof with inbuilt lights for evening and night time, which is a great feature for this very modern pergola gazebo. The twisting rafters can be left open or closed. I found this idiot could've just clicked on

...and here is a wide range of choice, particularly for fabric covered gazebos.

Metal Swing Seats

What about this for a swing seat!  Coated in plastic for easy maintenance. Very romantic covered in throws and cushions!

Metal Raised Beds

The most amazing metal raised beds I've come across these sleek designs that give a brilliantly modern feel to any garden.  With stunning clean lines.

Use them alongside a metal pergola to add colour and interest to your outdoor space. Available in several different attractive colours, I'm sure these are going to be a hit in many gardens!

Metal Trellis and Screen Panels

Loving these screen panels! They can be put to so many uses in the garden, and attached to DIY pergolas to give a really unusual and distinctive look.
