A bespoke oak pergola that frames your garden and lasts for generations
An oak pergola is a hand-cut timber frame built to your exact garden. Unlike kit pergolas, each one is designed for your space, your soil, your view. Green oak and seasoned oak are shaped to the specifications you want. It arrives ready to install. It lasts generations. It adds real value to your home.
A pergola is not just a frame. It is the structure that changes how you use your garden. It gives you a dry place to stand, it frames a view, it anchors a patio or a pathway. A bespoke oak pergola does all of that and it does it without pretending to be something it is not. The green oak weathers to silver grey over time. The seasoned oak keeps its warmth. Both are solid timber, hand-cut by Will and his team to the exact depth, span and posts you need. No templates. No oversized frames that block your view or undersized ones that feel flimsy. This one is made for your garden.
Most pergolas you buy come flat-packed or as a kit. You assemble them yourself or hire a carpenter. They are made to fit a standard garden, not yours. An oak pergola built for you begins with the site. Will listens to what you want it to do. Does it shade a seating area. Does it frame the view to the far field. Does it sit above a patio or does it connect to the house. The brief shapes the design. The design shapes the structure. Stainless steel screws, naturally seasoned or hand-felled green oak, and battens graded to BS 5534 mean it stands for generations. You do not replace it. You watch it age.
The materials are not secret. Green oak from the UK, seasoned oak, marine-grade stainless steel hardware, BS 5534 graded and treated timber battens. These are the things Will chooses because they work and because they look right. A pergola made this way does not look like a flat-pack. It looks like it belongs to your garden because it was made for it. The cost moves with what you want. A small pergola over a seating area costs less than a large one that spans a pathway and frames two views. Talk to William and describe what you want the pergola to do. He will tell you what it costs.
If you want to add solar tiles, EV charging or battery storage later, the pergola can carry it. These are separate choices and they add their own cost. The frame itself is the structure you want to stand in your garden. Start there. Talk to William and describe the space. He will design it for you.

Frequently asked
How long does an oak pergola last?
Green oak and seasoned oak are solid timber. Properly built and maintained, an oak pergola lasts generations. Green oak weathers to silver grey over time. Seasoned oak keeps its colour longer. Both are stronger and more durable than softwood alternatives. The stainless steel hardware and graded battens we use are chosen to match the lifespan of the timber.
Can I add solar tiles to a pergola?
A pergola frame can be designed to carry solar tiles across the top. Solar tiles are added as a separate choice and cost. Talk to William about whether the size and angle of your pergola would suit solar. He will advise you on what is possible and what it costs.
How much does a bespoke oak pergola cost?
The cost depends on the size, the type of oak you choose, and what you want the pergola to do. A small pergola over a seating area costs less than a large one that spans a wide area or connects to the house. Use the FREE Configurator to see how the size and materials move the price, or talk to William directly. He will design it for your garden and give you a real figure once he knows what you want.
Do you install it or do I have to hire someone?
Will and his team design and build the pergola and install it on your site. You do not arrange a separate carpenter or installer. It is a turnkey service from the design through to the finished structure standing in your garden.
What is the difference between green oak and seasoned oak?
Green oak is freshly felled and still full of moisture. It shrinks as it dries and develops a natural silver-grey patina over time. Seasoned oak is dried before it is shaped. It shrinks less and holds its warm colour longer. Both are solid timber. Which one you choose depends on whether you prefer the silvering effect or want the oak to keep its depth of colour. Talk to William about which suits your garden.
