Plus, they age gracefully to a beautiful silvery-grey finish over time, adding character to your pergola.

FAQ's

We absolutely do! Just like our gates and fencing, we can make completely bespoke pergolas. If you'd like a quote for your measurements, please contact our Sales team on 01409 231 763 or sales@ruby-group.co.uk.
Does the pergola arrive fully assembled?
The Gazebo does not arrive fully assembled, however we have created in-depth manuals to guide you on assembly - so whether you're a keen DIY enthusiast or a professional fitter, you can construct our pergolas yourself. You can find these manuals on the specification table on each listing.
Are fixings included?
All the fixings needed for installation are included in the delivery of your pergola parts!
Can I paint my pergola?
You can! You can only use water-based paint on our pergolas, however, and you will need to ensure the pergola is as dry as possible before painting. We do recommend applying UV protection prior to painting also.
What maintenance is required?
We highly recommend treating your pergola at least every 6 months with Osmo Oil, to protect your gazebo against the elements and against decay. We also recommend checking your pergola every so often and removing any built-up dirt and grime.
How long will it take to get my order?
The lead time for our pergola's is currently 3-9 working days.
