Pergola Options

Every pergola is built to suit your section. These are the most common options.

Freestanding aluminium louvre pergola over a paved outdoor lounge (example design)

Freestanding Pergolas

A standalone structure in the garden or over a patio, creating a defined outdoor room.

Timber pergola with slatted roof over a deck and dining table (example design)

Pergolas Over Decks

Built with a new deck or added to an existing one, if the deck frame is sound.

Timber pergola with a clear roof over an outdoor kitchen (example design)

Roofing & Shade

Add cover for shade or rain so the space works in more weather.

Pergola Builders, North Shore Auckland

Xtra Landscaping designs and builds timber pergolas on Auckland’s North Shore, from Devonport and Takapuna to Browns Bay, Albany, Silverdale and Whangaparāoa. We build freestanding pergolas and pergolas over new or existing decks and patios, with optional roofing for shade or rain cover. Every pergola starts with a free site visit and a fixed written quote, and we’re fully insured with a 2-year workmanship warranty.

A pergola gives your deck or patio a sense of shelter and a frame for shade, lighting and climbing plants. On the North Shore it also has to cope with strong sun, coastal wind and a lot of rain, so the posts, fixings and footings matter as much as the look.

We build pergolas freestanding in the garden, over a new deck, or over a paved patio. We size the posts and beams for the span, set the footings properly, and use fixings suited to your site, including stainless near the coast.

Pergolas are often part of a bigger outdoor project, so we can build the deck, paving, fencing and planting around it too. Fully insured, with a 2-year workmanship warranty and 65+ five-star Google reviews.

Built for the Weather

Treated or hardwood timber, solid footings and the right fixings for sun, wind and coastal air.

Designed for Your Space

Sized and placed for where the sun falls, how you use the area and how it looks from the house.

Deck, Pergola, Garden

We can build the deck or patio underneath and the planting around it, all with one team.

How We Build Your Pergola

A clear design, a fixed quote and a tidy build.

Free Site Visit

We look at the space, the sun, the wind and the ground, and talk about how you want to use it.

It depends on the size, the timber, whether it has a roof and whether it’s built with a deck. We price every pergola after a free site visit and give you a fixed written quote.

Most open, freestanding pergolas don’t need building consent. Adding a solid roof, building a larger structure or attaching it to the house can change that. We check the rules for your job at the site visit and include any consent costs in the quote.

Often, yes. The deck frame has to be strong enough to carry the posts, or the posts need their own footings. We check the frame at the site visit and tell you honestly what is needed.

Treated pine suited to outdoor use, or hardwood for a premium look. Near the coast we use stainless fixings. We talk you through the options and the upkeep at the quote stage.

Yes. Clear or tinted roofing panels give rain cover while letting light through. Slatted battens or shade sails give shade without full cover. Gutters are added so water runs where it should.

A typical freestanding timber pergola takes a few days on site, depending on size, roofing and weather. If it’s built with a new deck, it’s done as part of that job.
