Freestanding Green Oak Framed Pergolas

A pergola is one of the most versatile additions you can make to a garden. It creates a defined seating or dining area, offering a stylish spot for outdoor furniture while still keeping you connected to the garden around you. 

Many people use a pergola to support climbing plants like wisteria or roses, adding colour and natural shade as they grow. It can also be used to frame a path, walkway or entrance, or to create a shaded spot for a hot tub or outdoor kitchen. 

In most cases, pergolas fall under permitted development rights and don't need full planning permission. That said, this can depend on your location, the size of the structure and local rules, so it's always worth checking with your local planning authority before you buy.

A green oak pergola from Rutland County will typically last decades  in the UK climate, thanks to the strength of the material. If you're planning to stay in your home for years to come, an oak pergola is a smart investment in both your garden and your property's overall value. Alternatively, if you move property, the presence of the pergola will likely drive up your total value.

Oak is a strong, durable and good-looking timber to build with. That means your pergola can stand up to the British weather without losing its charm. As a very dense hardwood, oak adds to the structure's longevity and can even boost your property's value. It also brings a timeless, natural look to your garden that suits almost any design style.
