BUY LUMBER TO CREATE YOUR OWN PERGOLA

Why Lumber-Only Packages?

If you want to customize your own pergola and have the tools to do so, lumber-only packages (without decorative cuts or dovetailing) for DIY customers are an affordable way to build your own pergola.

Our uncut, unstained lumber is the same beautiful Rough Cut Douglas Fir lumber that we offer in our kits. With proper tools and our downloadable templates, you’ll be on your way shortly to a beautiful new pergola!

Once you figure your layout, provide us with a materials list and we’ll get the right lengths and dimensions ordered for. We’ll alert you when your package is at our yard and we’ll forklift your materials onto your trailer when you arrive. You’ll need a trailer that can handle the lengths and weight of the lumber.
