Looking For Ideas For A Pergola? Review Our Key Pergola Dimensions & Measurements Information

Understanding how our vinyl pergolas are measured is easily displayed on this page, but it is a very important factor in finding the perfect pergola for your deck, patio, pool, or outdoor kitchen area. The dimensions of your pergola refer to the area of pergola roof, which has beams and rafters that extend past the pergola columns, rather than by the distance between the pergola columns.

The width and depth will tell you the dimensions your pergola roof will occupy. Width indicates the length of the beams (the supports that sit directly on the posts/columns) and the purlins (shade fixtures). Depth refers to the length of the rafters (which lie crossways on the beams). If you have any questions about our pergola dimensions and measurements, please get in contact with us at 800-352-1672.
