Rackhams Rectangular Pergola and Decking Kit With Balustrades V.3 - Rustic Brown - 2.4m x 4.8m

"Designed to help you shape a more defined outdoor area, the Arbor Garden Solutions Rectangular Pergola and Decking Kit With Balustrades V.3 combines a pergola, decking and balustrades in one coordinated kit. Pre-cut components and step-by-step instructions support a straightforward build, creating a level surface that links areas of your garden or patio. Rectangular sizing is based on the total decking/base area rather than the pergola frame. The pergola is designed to span the full width and half the depth of the base; for a listed size such as 2.4m x 3.0m, the structural post footprint would be approximately 2.4m x 1.5m, with a standard 45cm overhang on all sides.
