Do I Need Planning Permission for a Pergola? | Pergola Advice from Blakesleys
In most cases, our pergolas do not require planning permission. However, this can depend on factors such as your property type, the pergola size, and any local restrictions. If in doubt, we recommend contacting your Local Planning Office for confirmation.
Installation & Assembly Guidance
All pergolas require assembly. Based on the size and weight of the parts, we recommend that 2–3 people work together for safe and efficient installation.
Assembly time: Typically around 2–3 hours depending on the model and layout.
Tools & instructions: Every pergola includes full step-by-step instructions to assist with assembly. We advise using the included expansion bolts to securely fix the pergola to the ground via the base plate holes in each leg.
Suitable Surfaces for Fixing
- Concrete patios
- Porcelain tiles (with care to avoid cracking)
- Composite or timber decking (ensure reinforced base)
Need Help With Assembly?
We offer an optional assembly service in selected areas. This is available at an additional cost, depending on:
- Size of the pergola
- Your delivery location
