The 9x11 pergolas on this page are 9 feet wide and 11 feet deep. The width and depth are not interchangeable. Attached pergolas are mounted to the house on the 9-foot width side and come 11 feet out from the house. For free-standing pergolas, the angled shade purlins run the 9-foot width of the pergola (as shown in this illustration) and therefore provide the most shade when the evening sunlight comes from the 9-foot width side.

View full detailsAll of the pergolas featured on this page have a 9' x 11' pergola roof covered by shade purlins, not including the end caps on traditional-style pergolas (which extend 9 inches beyond the ends of the 9' beams and the 11' rafters, unless you opt for flat end caps). So for all of the 9-foot by 11-foot pergolas on this page, the beams and shade purlins are all 9 feet long (as they run the 9-foot width of the pergola), and the rafters are 11' long (as they run the 11-foot depth of the pergola), not including end caps.
The posts (i.e. columns) of a traditional 9' x 11' pergola can be placed anywhere from 0" to 36" in from the outside edges of the beams and rafters (not including the 9" end caps), as shown in this diagram. Most customers choose to place the posts 12 inches in from the ends of the beams/rafters, which puts the outside edges of the posts 7 feet apart width-wise and 9 feet apart depth-wise. But again, you can position the posts anywhere from 0 to 36 inches in from the ends of the beams/rafters to create your desired overhangs. It's also worth noting that the overhang can be different on one side than it is on the other sides, if needed or desired.
For modern-style 9x11 pergolas (which never have overhangs), the posts are always in the corners. So for modern pergolas, the outside edges of the posts will be 9 feet apart width-wise and 11 feet apart depth-wise.
To make our pergolas as affordable as possible, we only manufacture the beams, rafters, purlin holders and shade purlins in 2-foot increments. All of the kits on this page actually have 10-foot beams & shade purlins and 12-foot rafters & purlin holders, which you will need to trim down to 9 feet and 11 feet, respectively, in order to create a 9x11 pergola. If one or both of the width/depth dimensions of your outdoor space is slightly shorter than 9 feet by 11 feet, you can use a basic circular saw or miter saw to cut any of the pieces down to the exact length required. So the 9x11 pergolas on this page can easily be turned into 8.625-foot by 10.75-foot pergolas (or whatever specific dimensions you need).
Please be careful when ordering your pergola. A 9x11 pergola is not the same as an 11x9 pergola.
The attached 9x11 pergolas on this page will attach to your home on the 9' side and come 11' out from the wall. For free-standing 9 x 11 pergolas, the shade purlins (which create shade underneath the pergola) must run the 9-foot width of the pergola. So to maximize the pergola's shade, you will want to orient the pergola such that the evening sunlight comes from the 9-foot width side. If your evening sunlight will come from the 11-foot side, you'll want one of these 11x9 pergolas instead.
