About this collection
Wood Pergola Ideas, explained.
Wood is the classic pergola material for good reason: it's warm, easy to work and takes any style from clean modern slats to rough timber beams. These designs show cedar, redwood, Douglas fir and reclaimed logs in every mood.
Look at joinery and finish — exposed rafter tails, chamfered posts, and whether the wood is stained, painted or left to silver. Save the pergolas whose detailing matches your house, then budget for a restain every few years.
What to look for as you browse
- Clearance under the beams — 8 to 10 feet feels right
- Slat spacing and orientation against the afternoon sun
- Posts placed outside the furniture, never through it
