Real project prices at a glance

Size matters, but it is not the whole story. The compact glass-enclosed project costs more than the open 3×4m project because side protection forms a much larger part of its budget.

ProjectPergola onlyWith side protectionComplete package
POWER+ PRO 3×3m £4,856 £11,708 £13,308
POWER+ 3×4m £4,006 £5,376 £6,376
POWER+ PRO 4×6m £10,927 £16,181 £18,131

Pergola-only prices include the motorised louvred structure, integrated LED lighting and delivery to most mainland UK addresses. Groundwork, electrical connection and location-based surcharges are excluded.

Case 01 · 9m² covered area

POWER+ PRO 3×3m

A compact project designed to create one private, sheltered zone without covering the whole garden.

Pergola plan dimensions

9m² covered area · compact lounge or spa zone

Why this configuration was chosen

The pergola structure established the covered zone, while four sliding glass sides created the brighter, more enclosed atmosphere required for a wellness space.

Side protection added £6,852 to the structure price. Installation of the structure and glass system added £1,600 in this example.

What this project teaches usA small pergola is not automatically a low-cost project. The number and type of side walls can matter more than the floor area.
Case 02 · 12m² covered area

POWER+ 3×4m

A dining and lounge area that keeps the wider garden open, with targeted protection on the side where it is useful.

Pergola plan dimensions

12m² covered area · dining or generous seating

Why this configuration was chosen

Instead of enclosing every elevation, this project addresses the main exposure with one 4m motorised blind.

The blind added £1,370. Professional installation added £1,000 to this particular configuration.

What this project teaches usIdentify the prevailing weather, afternoon sun and neighbouring sightlines before pricing four side walls.
Case 03 · 24m² covered area

POWER+ PRO 4×6m

A six-post structure with space for separate dining and lounge zones, plus privacy where the garden needs it.

Pergola plan dimensions

24m² covered area · separate dining and lounge zones

Why this configuration was chosen

One 4m and one 6m privacy shutter wall screen key sightlines while retaining light and airflow.

The two shutter walls added £5,254. Installation added £1,950 for the configuration shown.

What this project teaches usDefine the furniture zones before choosing the footprint. A 4×6m layout earns its cost when the garden will use separate dining and lounge areas.

Before installation

The surface under the pergola matters

A patio that looks finished is not necessarily a structural base. The installer needs to understand what is beneath the porcelain, paving or decking and whether each post can be anchored safely.
