What moves the price
- Material — treated softwood pergolas cost least, while aluminium and steel frames cost more but need little upkeep
- Size of the structure — a large pergola or gazebo needs more posts, beams and labour than a small one
- Roof — an open pergola is cheapest, and a solid, polycarbonate or louvred gazebo roof adds considerably
- Kit or bespoke — a flat-pack gazebo kit goes up in hours, while a made-to-measure structure takes days
- Footings and base — concrete post bases, a new patio or decking under the gazebo add groundwork
- Lighting and heating — wiring lights or heaters into a pergola brings in an electrician
Domestic and garden services prices in the UK are up 24% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Domestic services and household services, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical pergola & gazebo would have cost about £1450 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7E6 →

How to pay less
- Choose a softwood pergola kit and stain it yourself instead of a bespoke hardwood frame
- Fix the pergola or gazebo posts to an existing patio rather than paying for new footings
- Add lights or heaters to the gazebo later, once you know how often you use it
Before you book
- A pergola or gazebo near a boundary may need planning permission if it exceeds permitted development height limits
- Check the gazebo or pergola will not sit over drains, cables or tree roots where the posts go
- Agree who supplies the pergola kit and who removes the packaging and offcuts
- In a conservation area or at a listed building, check with the council before building any garden structure
Pergola & Gazebo cost: questions people ask
£300–£6,000 per structure, about £1,750 typical. A small softwood kit costs least; a large aluminium pergola with a louvred roof costs most.
A small kit can go up in a few hours. A bespoke timber or aluminium pergola usually takes one to three days.
Usually not. Most garden structures fall under permitted development, but height limits are tighter within two metres of a boundary, and conservation areas and listed buildings have extra rules.
Aluminium costs more but does not rot and needs no staining, while timber is cheaper and looks natural but needs treating every few years.
The patio or decking underneath, electrical circuits for lights or heaters, and plants are usually quoted separately.
