Arbor, Pergola or Trellis - Build Custom FAQs

A typical 12x12 pergola will cost between $4,320 and $8,640 depending on your choice of materials and style.

Premade pergola kits cost between $600 and $7,500 on average and are typically less than a custom-built option, which may reach as high as $10,000.

Pergolas are a great way to add shade and style to your yard, so the extra enjoyment makes them well worth the cost. They’re great for accenting a garden, pond, vegetable patch, or another area that isn’t the main gathering spot. For a patio, deck, or other entertainment areas, full shade structures such as umbrellas or awnings are usually a better fit.

Pergolas may also add value to your yard depending on where you live. Consider getting a home appraisal to see how building a pergola may affect your ROI.

The cost to paint a pergola runs from $2 to $5 per square foot. You’ll pay from $2 to $4 per square foot to stain a pergola.

The roof’s design and purpose are the main distinctions between a pergola and a gazebo. Gazebos have a solid roof for full shade from the sun, while pergolas typically let in partial sunlight through a slatted roof.
