How much will a pergola cost you?
Pergolas are very popular in Australia, especially considering our love for the outdoor space.
But how much will a pergola installation cost you? We break down the details.
The average pergola installation cost is around $50/hr. Still, this depends on the pergola style and size. Some carpenters and deck builders may charge by the hour, and this can range from $45/hr to around $60/hr.

Why pergolas are worth the investment?
Pergolas can transform your backyard both aesthetically and functionally. They look like simple structures but they actually offer several benefits like:
- Added property value
- Added area for relaxation and entertainment

- Ideal if you want to grow vines
As mentioned, the price of a pergola will rest on the builder you hire and factors such as size and materials used. It’s always best to work out your budget and work with an experienced deck and pergola specialist or builder to design a pergola within your budget.
