Freestanding wooden pergola
Our customer was looking for a carpenter to build a custom-made freestanding wooden pergola with a roof on top to suit the existing platform in his property in Dromin, near Dunleer, Co. Louth. He wanted the pergola to look chunky and we agreed on a design for the cut. I decided to use pressure treated timber to last the weather also because the posts would be fixed into concrete.
Before I cut any timber I painted it all with Ronseal oak wood stain to match the existing sleepers.
Anthony did a fantastic job designing and building a custom pergola to cover our existing patio. He was professional and punctual, and provided a detailed quote. He seemed knowledgeable and adapted plans and stylistic details to our taste. The work was all carried out on time and to a very high standard. We are delighted with the end result. It feels like a great investment in creating an outdoor living space that we'll be able to enjoy for many years to come.
