DIY Freestanding Pergola Hardware Kit with Shade Canopies (Wood Not Included) | Zen Pergolas
The DIY Freestanding Pergola Hardware Kit from Zen Pergolas solves the most expensive problem in pergola buying: shipping lumber. The kit supplies heavy-duty powder-coated steel brackets, hardware, and UV-resistant shade canopies — you buy the wood locally and assemble a custom freestanding pergola up to 24 ft × 12 ft.
Bracket systems are offered for 4x4 and 6x6 lumber, and canopy sizes run from 8' x 8' to 12' x 12', so the kit adapts to the exact structure you have in mind. Easy-to-follow instructions guide the build.
