Sunset Pergolas offer the perfect combination of quality, beauty and affordability. The all-vinyl exterior is elegant and virtually maintenance-free, and the aluminum frame is both structurally strong and rust-proof. Heavy-Duty Aluminum Frame Sunset Pergolas are built to last - and to stay beautiful - for decades. The sturdy aluminum frame ensures that your pergola will not sag, bow, bend, break or rust over time. The half-inch thick welded post base and stainless steel fasteners will hold your pergola securely in place, even in extreme weather conditions. The posts (columns) can easily be trimmed to your preferred height and attached to virtually any surface (deck, concrete slab, pillar or footing). Premium Vinyl Exterior With such quality on the inside, do you think we would skimp on the outside? Absolutely not! The exterior of every piece (the posts, beams, rafters and shade purlins… everything!) is made of premium extruded vinyl that is as beautiful as it is durable. Anyone who has ever had both a vinyl fence and a wooden fence knows how much easier it is to clean and maintain vinyl. Our pergolas are virtually maintenance-free and are guaranteed to never chalk, pit, discolor or become brittle. Sunset Pergolas are manufactured right here in the USA and are protected by a lifetime warranty. Order a free sample or read more about our high-quality materials.

CAD Drawing Video Picture Gallery Q&As Shipping & Delivery Assembly Info CAD DrawingTraditional Attached 16' x 8' Pergola KitThe following CAD drawing shows the default installation configuration, which is to install the posts such that the beams and rafters extend 12 inches beyond the outside edge of the posts, creating a 12-inch overhang.Each of the posts can, however, be installed further out (such that the post's outer edge is flush with the beams' and rafters' outer edges resulting in no overhang) OR further in (as much as 3 feet in, creating a 3-foot overhang).See the pictures below the CAD Drawing for a side-by-side comparison of a traditional pergola with and without overhangs. Standard Installation With Overhangs This picture shows the standard installation with posts installed 12" in from the end of the beams and rafters, creating 12" overhangs. Overhangs can be as much as 36 inches. Alternate Installation No Overhangs This picture shows an alternate installation with posts installed flush with the ends of the beams and rafters (and with f at end caps), resulting in no overhangs.
