Our verdict
If you want the classic garden pergola look — chunky timber posts, natural wood grain, climbing plants winding up the sides — a pressure-treated wooden pergola is the answer. Rutland County is one of the best-known UK suppliers, and their 3×3 m model uses sustainably sourced, pressure-treated softwood with a 15-year anti-rot guarantee. The open-rafter design is traditional rather than weatherproof — it provides structure and partial shade, with the option to add a retractable canopy, polycarbonate sheets or train wisteria across the top. Assembly is genuinely straightforward with bolt-down post anchors and pre-cut timbers.
