| If you have been searching for the
right pergola kit you can now stop your search! The
Big Kahuna is the one.
We have been in the business of constructing
pergolas for years, and have perfected this design to
make it a strong and lasting pergola that will stand
the test of time for years to come. With its beefy 6X6
posts, double 2X8 beams, 2X8 rafters, 2X6 angle braces,
and 2X2 top slats, it commands attention when placed
in the backyard or garden. On each Big Kahuna Pergola,
we notch each post to a depth of 1 inch in order to
make a more secure connection between the beam and post.
We also notch the rafters over the beams to take away
the lateral motion usually found with cheaper pergolas
that are not notched. This equates to a solid pergola
that is aesthetically pleasing and will hold up to the
harshest elements. This pergola, just like the rest
of our models, is built per order in the USA with precision
and pride in knowing that upon installation this pergola
kit will go together with ease.
If you are comparison shopping beware
of other online retailers that sell pergola kits that
are mass produced in China with cheap lumber, coated
zinc hardware, and steel plates that hold rafters together,
and have complicated assembly instructions. The truth
is that these types of kits just will not last. Here
at pergoladepot.com we never use any inferior materials
or building practices such as these. We produce our
pergolas with the mission of uncompromising quality,
and have taken every step to make certain that your
pergola kit will be easy to install, and stand the test
of time no matter which part of the country you live
in.
Our kits were originally designed to be
used in the Central Florida area where we have to deal
with extreme weather situations all year round such
as:
- Hurricanes
- The second highest air salt content in the world
- Daily Summer Rain/Thunder Storms
- Tornadoes
- Winter Drought Conditions
These elements can be detrimental to the
life of the materials used in outdoor products. So as
you can see we have good reason to be sure that our
pergolas were strongly designed with quality materials
that could stand up to these harsh elements.
As with all of our kits, we have two different
lumber options to choose from; #1 grade .40
ACQ Marine Grade Pressure Treated Pine, or Rough Sawn
Western Red Tight Knot Cedar. We only use 316
stainless steel hardware to prevent rotting.
Every kit comes complete with all pre-cut, pre-drilled
lumber that is pre-marked for easy assembly. It also
includes a set of step-by-step instructions to guide
you through the assembly process. Our kits are so
easy to assemble that two people can easily
have most kits set up in four hours or less
with absolutely no construction knowledge whatsoever.
It's that easy!

So choose your size, and your end cut
preference. Then decide if the pergola will be going
on a patio, or into the ground, and before you know
it you will be enjoying your backyard under a beautiful
pergola cut specifically for you, at an Average Joe
price.
