Why Freestanding

Put Your Pergola Exactly Where You Want It

A freestanding pergola isn't tied to the house, so it goes wherever the yard works best. That might be over the pool, out by the garden, or floating in the middle of the entertaining area as its own destination.

Because we build the frame from Australian-made steel, we can run longer, post-free spans. That means fewer posts in the way and a cleaner, more open structure underneath.

Every freestanding build is engineered for Perth conditions, wind-rated to Australian Standards and anchored on properly sized footings so it stays put for the long run.

  • Goes anywhere, no wall needed
  • Wide post-free steel spans
  • Wind-rated to Australian Standards
  • Low-maintenance, no re-oiling needed
  • Colorbond colour to match the home
  • Lifetime workmanship guarantee

Good Questions

Questions We Often Receive

Yes. Freestanding structures are ideal over and beside pools because they don't need to attach to the house. We size the footings and engineer the frame for the position, and we work in the full Colorbond range so it ties in with the home.
Because the frame is Australian-made steel, we can run much wider spans before we need a post. The exact span depends on the roof type and wind rating, and we work that out for your specific build during the measure.
Often yes, depending on the size and where it sits on the block. We handle the council permits and shire approvals for you as part of the job, so you don't have to chase the paperwork.
Each post sits on a properly sized concrete footing, engineered for the structure and wind-rated to Australian Standards. That's what keeps a freestanding build solid through Perth's summer storms.
Most freestanding pergolas are installed in one to three days on site once the materials are ready and approvals are through. We give you a realistic timeline in your written quote.
