"Designed to bring structure and definition to an outdoor setting, the Arbor Garden Solutions Rectangular Pergola and Decking Kit With Balustrades V.11 combines a pergola frame with a matching decking base and balustrades. The listed size reflects the total decking/base area rather than the pergola frame itself; the pergola is designed to span the full width and half the depth of the base, with a standard 45cm overhang on all sides.
