For many people it may sound tempting to work in the garden on a sunny weekend and build a pergola yourself. But there are good reasons why it is better to leave the construction of a pergola to professionals like us. In this blog post we explain why.

Building a pergola yourself may seem simple at first glance. However, the construction can be quite complicated. There are many styles and structures that require different techniques and skills. Structural problems and unsightly results can be the result of a mistake in planning.
Security
A pergola must be built with heavy tools and materials. Without the right training and tools, risky accidents can occur. In addition, the pergola must be safe and stable to withstand the loads and accessories. A pergola that is not built correctly can collapse and, in the worst case, injure people underneath.
durability
Professional craftsmen like us build pergolas that will last for the long haul. We know exactly which materials are best suited to your environment. And also how best to protect them from the elements. If a pergola is not built and treated properly, it can be more susceptible to weathering, pests, or rot.
Buy a pergola and build it yourself
With us you have the option of buying a pergola and building the finished kits yourself. However, you must not forget one crucial aspect: a high-quality foundation, which you can either prepare yourself or have built by professionals. Because safety and stability are paramount.
properties of the foundation
Firstly, the foundation must securely anchor the supporting posts of the pergola. It must ensure that the pergola remains firmly in place even in strong storms.
On the other hand, long-term stability should be ensured after purchasing our pergolas. An adequate foundation prevents the structure from sagging or warping over time. It also minimizes the risk of damage due to use and weather influences.
weight of accessories
If you buy a pergola from us, you can have it equipped with side walls or heaters , for example . A stable foundation is crucial to bear the weight of these accessories and ensure smooth functionality. This is the only way you can use the functions without restrictions and exploit their full potential.
aesthetic effect
In addition to the practical aspects, the foundation also plays a crucial role in the aesthetic effect. A solid foundation ensures that your purchased pergola is in perfect balance. And it ensures harmonious integration into your outdoor area. That's why we only recommend self-assembly to experienced people.
