At Pergola Kits USA Inc., we advise you on materials, design, size, and options. We provide drawings and engineering.

We then fabricate these designs and ship them to customers as ready-to-assemble kits. We guide customers thru assembly via printed manuals, videos, and on-call assistance.

Many of customers have unique needs, but many of them share similar objectives:

• create an outdoor living space
