Kapiteinterzee on Aug 16, 2016I did a fiberglass pergola when I was in the business of home renos and construction. Be forewarned – it’s expensive. A “standard wood pergola” that comes in kit form is about $2k to $4k(USC) (depends on wood used) for an 10’W (3m) x 12’L (3.6m) x 10’H (3m) structure. Aluminum pergolas, same size, can range from $1.5k to $2.5k(USC). The fiberglass pergola kit, same size, is about $3.4k to $4.2k. We did a custom fiberglass pergola that cost (my out of pocket cost) of $3.5k materials, plus labor for footings, hardscaping, cutting to size and assembling of $3.8k, or $7.3k total cost. We charged the client $9.5k(USC.) Hope this gives you a good idea. . . and good luck.Helpful Reply

Craig Laidlaw on Aug 16, 2016If you want to save some money, buy PVC ( or the equivalent) studs, posts etc.. Usually comes in white and can be cut the same as normal lumber ( Also can be painted). Simply check with your local supplier of building materials for availability, get a pergola plan or make one, take it in to the Contractor Services area, and they will price it out for you. A normal carpenter will be able to do the job, or a good handyman. I have used this material A lot with new home and cottages, even for exterior trim. Totally weather resistant for any kind of weather and strong.Helpful Reply
