Dunster House Leviathan Pergola Wooden Garden Plant Frame Kit (W3m x D3m)

Product Information

The Classico Pergola is 2.4m x 2.4m in size and features an attractive hipped roof design giving a unique pyramid-shaped roof. If the timber is covered in mould or algae, this should be killed off first using a suitable fungicidal wash solution. However, take great care not to spill this type of product onto any plant growth or open soil. Remember to wash and clean off surfaces with clean water after the treatment has done its job, then allow to dry.’ The aluminium frame is powder coated and resistant against rust. Each part is easy to lift, which makes assembly a reasonably straightforward task as long as you have a few extra pairs of hands. Assembly takes around five hours. All tools come included and there are four pre-drilled holes on the leg bases that allow you to secure it to the floor. Open roofs keep a sense of open air, and pergolas with this style of roof can look very stylish. Whilst these pergolas are simple, easy to install and will be bright inside, they don’t offer you much shade. The only coverage offered is from the slatted beams. For a modern alternative to the traditional timber pergola, make a style statement and opt for a sleek metal framed design instead. Style-wise, a sleek aluminium frame looks streamlined and striking, so is a good choice for contemporary outdoor schemes. And unlike timber, metal won’t be affected by the elements so will need little maintenance or upkeep.

A square or rectangular wooden pergola surrounded by exotic plants and bamboo is a perfect fit for a Japanese-inspired garden. Aluminium pergolas usually have either an open roof, a louvred roof or an adjustable fabric canopy. Some pergolas can have a static fabric canopy which can’t be moved. If you’ve got a little more space, 3 x 3 m pergolas can also be suitable for small and medium gardens. As a rough guide, you can probably seat four to six people under a 3 x 3 m pergola. Customers also have the luxury of making this whatever size they please as we sell the parts individually.There are a couple of different structural designs to choose from. You’ll need to decide between a lean-to or a freestanding pergola . If you want the pergola to act as an extension of your interior space, lean-to pergolas are a great choice. The downside is that you’re limited on where you can install these – they need to be erected against an existing wall. Finally, we come to aluminium pergolas. These are our top choice for garden pergolas, for good reason. Aluminium offers the stability of a wood coupled with far less maintenance. They are rust-resistant and are available in a range of colours to suit both traditional and contemporary gardens. Your pergola should provide some protection against bad weather without altering your experience of your garden. The majority of fabric canopies will be shower resistant but won’t offer full protection from rain. Some louvred roofs can be fully waterproof – look out for a streamlined gutter system to allow rainwater to drain away. The pyramid-style pitched roof structure is supported by 4 sturdy timber posts that have diagonal cross bracing for added strength, ensuring it is able to endure the worst of the UK weather. It has open sides to maximise the use of the space. Dunster House are committed to sourcing only material that is produced, processed and traded according to applicable legislation.

For small and medium gardens, this 3 x 3 m Angel Living Aluminium Pergola is a great choice. It’s made from dark grey powder-coated aluminium that gives a modern, understated finish. The overall look is chic and smart, perfectly complementing contemporary garden furniture.These structures are generally made up of rough sawn timber, so if surfaces do show signs of previous coatings coming away or more likely, greying (due to long term exposure to the sun), use a stiff nylon brush, though nothing metallic, to remove anything loose, brittle or fibrous that can come away from the surface. This is where the amount of effort you put it pays dividends, as you are preparing the surface to be as clean and stable as possible for any new coating to adhere to and then protect and perform.’ As an added bonus, we have now upgraded the Pergola using Steel Cross Rafter Fixings (supplied) for a stronger, more robust structure. Dunster House commit to continuously improve the sustainability level of our sourcing, by favouring stricter more credible certification and verification standards, and sourcing requirements. We are committed to avoiding sourcing from unknown or unsustainable sources.

The majority of our Gazebos are freestanding, weighted down by the sheer weight of the dense slow grown Spruce. By being freestanding you can choose where to place your Pergola. This allows you to place it wherever you like within your garden.A pergola can be used to link buildings or can extend from a door into an open garden. Freestanding wooden pergolas are ideal if you want to create an area that can benefit from a refreshing breeze and provide protection from the harsh glare of direct sunlight. A pergola can look incredible when used to provide support for flowering climbing plants that grow over the top. Aluminium pergolas are available in a range of sizes. The most popular size option for domestic gardens is 3 x 3m. This is generally spacious enough for a coffee table and a few chairs, or a small dining set. You can fit around four to six people under a 3 x 3m pergola. Freestanding pergolas can be placed anywhere in your garden. In fact, having a pergola at the end of the garden is becoming a very popular garden feature.
