Alright friend, if you're looking to add some serious style and function to your outdoor space, a pergola is a killer way to go. But before you dive in, let’s talk about the different types out there—and why Bjorn Woodworks is the secret weapon you didn’t know you needed.
Types of Pergolas (A.K.A. “Which Flavor Suits Your Backyard?”)
Wooden Pergolas – The Timeless Classic
Wood pergolas have that warm, natural look that’s just chef’s kiss. You’ll usually see them made from cedar or redwood, and you’ve got options—classic notched beams or a more modern, minimal vibe. Whether you're attaching it to your house or going full freestanding in the garden, wood brings the charm.
Vinyl Pergolas – Set It and Forget It
If you’re not into maintenance (hey, no judgment), vinyl’s your bestie. These bad boys don’t rot, they don’t fade, and they look crisp for years. Most come in white or neutrals and work great as either attached or freestanding structures. Super clean, super chill. The main disadvantage here is that they do not offer any flexibility for color, they lack character, and have no options for customizability.
Fiberglass Pergolas – The Strong, Silent Type
Need something sleek and tough? Fiberglass pergolas span big spaces without needing tons of support. They’re lightweight, weather-resistant, and look good doing it—kind of like the cool kid in your high school shop class. Similar to Vinyl pergolas, these products are generally incredibly weather resistant but they don't offer much of a statement piece to your yard like a wooden pergola would.
But Here's Why Bjorn Woodworks Is the Real MVP 🔩💪
Ultimate Flexibility With Our Bracket System
Unlike most pergola kits that come in a few cookie-cutter sizes, Bjorn Woodworks gives you the freedom to build it your way:
Want to go big? Go big.
Need to work around your hot tub or fire pit? No problem.
Want a funky shape or a roof that actually makes sense for your space? Done.
Our modular bracket system lets you dial in the exact size and layout you want—without needing to hire a crew of pros.
Built Tough (Because You Deserve a Pergola That Lasts)
Our brackets are made from rugged 12-gauge steel and are ready for whatever Mother Nature throws at them. Add your own lumber (cedar, redwood, pressure-treated—your choice), and you’ve got a structure that’s built like a tank but looks like a dream.
Easy to Build, Fun to Show Off
You don’t need a contractor’s license to put one of these together. We include step-by-step instructions, and most folks can get theirs up over a weekend with just a few basic tools. You’ll feel like a DIY legend.
Covered With a 10-Year Warranty
Because we actually believe in our products. That’s a decade of confidence right there.
