This is a great option for anyone with a narrow backyard—plus it elevates the overall look of your property, giving the appearance of added square footage to your home.

Aurora Pergola

Key Specs

  • Height: 9.5 feet
  • Shape: Square
  • Material: Aluminum

If you only have a patch of outdoor space, this charming square pergola is 9 feet wide, and perfect for creating a small seating nook in the garden—with plenty of room for two armchairs, a side table, and a small rug. It features a rust-resistant aluminum frame with a black powder-coated finish and a bright terracotta canopy, woven from weather-resistant high-density polyethylene.

The pergola stands just over 7 feet high and comes in other color options, including a rich-looking mocha brown, but there’s no anchoring or mounting hardware included.
