Pergola

12' x 12' Savannah Cedar Pergola with 10"
Tapered Vinyl
Columns.
Owner stained this Savannah with redwood stain to create a beautiful
poolside retreat.
Another
Backyard America exclusive, the Savannah Cedar Pergola is a classic design
that will enhance any patio or garden. This is the design that we used when
we first started building pergolas more than 15 years ago. And it is still
our most popular model!
The pergola kit is offered with several options. The support
columns available for this pergola kit include both white vinyl and natural
cedar. Like all of our pergola kits, the Savannah Cedar Pergola
comes with all of the materials and hardware needed for assembly. |

Savannah Pergolas are shipped with all
parts cut, notched, and sanded ready
for stain or they may be left to weather to a silver gray. |
Assembly is easy. All of the cedar parts have been notched so there's no
measuring or cutting. All of the screws needed for assembly are packaged
with the kit. The only tools needed for assembly of the top is a screw gun and a rubber
mallet. The Savannah Pergola has
classic proportions. The interlocking design starts with beams that are double 2 x 8's. The rafters are 2 x 6's
that are spaced at approximately 16" on center. The optional stringers are 2
x 4's that are spaced approximately 9" on center. In addition to the
notches, each joint is secured with stainless steel screws. Using notches
and stainless screws makes this a very strong and easy to build structure.
The cedar we use is Western Red Cedar graded Select Tight Knot or better.
The kit is shipped ready for stain or paint or it can be left natural.

Even a small deck can
be a Great Outdoor Room when one of our pergola kits is added.
This 12' x 18' deck was refurbished by adding the pergola with
low voltage lighting, installing a ceiling fan, and building a custom grill island.
The grill
island is topped with slate tiles for a surface that is easy to
clean and resistant to stains and burns. It is large enough to
be a buffet for food and serving pieces which allows for more
room at the table. There is plenty of storage built into the
island for the gas cylinders, grilling tools and supplies, and a
small refrigerator.
The
result is an intimate and functional space that the family will use
frequently. |
