DIY Smart

This is a true 100% DIY-friendly, 4x4 Lean To kit. Our Drop-in Smart DIY post top elbows make it super easy and safe to assemble the headers. Unlike closed tube elbows which require extreme effort and heavy lifting equipment, our Drop-in Smart DIY design requires minimal physical effort and eliminates physical injury risks.

DIY Prices

Unlike custom built pergolas which can cost anywhere from $4,000 to $9,000, build confidently with all decorative addons for less than $2500 in any size that you desire.

High Quality

Unlike cheap low quality wood pergola/gazebos sold as DIY kits by Sams Club and Costco which decay and deteriorate within 3 seasons, build this using quality lumber available locally at your lumberyard and make it a lifetime structure that is rain proof, snow proof (any load), and wind proof beyond 92 mph.
