Transform Your Cork Garden With a Beautiful Pergola

Pricing depends on the material, size, features and site conditions. Timber pergolas generally start lower than aluminium, and options like a louvred roof, lighting or side screens add to the cost. Rather than publishing a fixed price list, we provide a personalised quotation based on your specific requirements. Use our quote tool to get started.

Timber offers a warm, natural look and is ideal if you want a traditional feel or plan to train climbing plants. Aluminium is sleek, contemporary and very low maintenance, with options like adjustable louvres and integrated lighting. We can advise on the best fit for your garden, budget and how you want to use the space.

Aluminium pergolas need very little upkeep — an occasional clean is usually enough. Timber pergolas will need periodic re-treatment or staining to protect against the Irish weather, depending on the finish you choose. We'll explain the maintenance for your specific materials before you commit.

Most residential pergolas are installed within one to three days once on site, depending on size and complexity. Lead times for supply and scheduling vary with demand and the time of year. We'll give you a realistic timeline with your quotation.

Yes. Options include an open slatted roof, a solid covered roof, or an adjustable louvred roof (typically on aluminium pergolas) that you can open and close. The right choice depends on whether you want shade, shelter from rain, or an open-air feel.

Both timber (when properly treated) and powder-coated aluminium are suitable for the Irish climate. Aluminium is particularly weather-resistant. We design and install pergolas to cope with wind and rain typical of Cork, and can advise on positioning and features like side screens for exposed sites.

Yes. As well as pergolas, we supply and install wooden garden gazebos across Cork. A gazebo is a freestanding, fully roofed structure that provides complete shelter, making it a good choice if you want a self-contained seating or dining spot. See our gazebos page for more detail.

Planning requirements depend on the property, the size and height of the structure, and its position relative to boundaries. Some pergolas fall within exempted development limits; others may need planning permission. We can give general guidance, but you should confirm requirements with your local planning authority before proceeding.
