Design Your Own Modern Pergola
While most of the modern-style pergolas we sell are 10-16' wide/deep, we can create a modern pergola of virtually any size... 8 feet, 20 feet or 30 feet (or 23.25 feet if that's what you want)!
Similarly, our standard pergolas are square or rectangular, but we can create (and have created) pergolas of many other shapes:
- T-shape
- L-shape
- Triangle
- Pentagon
- Octagon
- Half octagon
- And many others
We have the capability to build virtually ANY pergola configuration you can think of!
Along with customizing the shape and dimensions of your pergola, you'll also be able to choose all of our other customization options:
- Type - Freestanding OR attached
- Post (column) design - 7" square without a trim ring OR 7" square with a trim ring
- Color - White vinyl OR tan vinyl
- Shade level - 75% shade, 90% shade OR 50% shade
- Fan mounts - You can add optional fan mounts to create your own breeze
You'll be happy to know that we price our pergolas based on the components included in the kit... the number/size of posts, beams and rafters, the number of shade purlins, etc. We don't "jack up the price" simply because you're ordering a "custom" pergola. Our quote calculator is completely component-based.
Simply complete the form to the right to tell us what kind of pergola you're looking for, and we'll get in touch with you quickly and provide a no-obligation quote for what you have in mind.
Why a Sunset Pergola?
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.
Sturdy Aluminum Frame
Sunset Pergolas are built to last... and not just stay upright, but also stay beautiful. 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).
Maintenance-Free Vinyl Exterior
With such quality and durability 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 high-quality 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 never to 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.
Lifetime Warranty

Easy Assembly
Assembling a Sunset Pergola is quite simple and straightforward. Even novices with little to no construction experience can bang it out in a day or two (certainly over a weekend). You don’t need any specialized tools, either.
And if our easy-to-follow installation videos and fully illustrated, step-by-step assembly instructions aren’t clear enough, you can FaceTime or Skype with us directly (for FREE!) to get personal, one-on-one help!

Shipping Information
Shipping is FREE for all shipments to mainland USA. (We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii or outside the USA at this time.)
Shipping times vary a bit based on which pergola kit you order and where you are located. That said, we make every effort to have your pergola kit arrive at your home within 2-3 weeks of your order date. We will stay in close contact with you to make sure you are aware of when your pergola kit should arrive. We will email you as soon as your order has shipped and tracking information is available. We will also notify you via email if there are any processing or shipping delays.
IMPORTANT: Because of the size and value of the pergola, you are required to be present to receive the shipment. You will be contacted by the contracted freight company to schedule your delivery.
When the delivery truck arrives, you will need to unload the pergola kit by hand (unless you have access to a forklift). This should take no more than ~15 minutes. While a single person who can lift up to 80 pounds could unload the truck on their own, we recommend having a helper. (Please note that the driver of the truck is not required to help, although they sometimes will.)
You should verify each component against the packing list and note any missing or damaged items on your packing slip before signing. If any item is missing or damaged (which is extremely rare), we will quickly replace it at no cost to you.
The following 1:17 video shows how easy it is to unload your pergola kit from the truck.

Returns & Refunds
Your satisfaction is our top priority. Our pergolas are made with the finest quality materials so we rarely have any problems. But if your pergola (or any component of it) is damaged or defective in any way, we will happily replace it at no cost to you.
Because our pergola kits are custom made to order, we do not accept returns. We recommend doing a detailed assessment of your site, climate, and installation needs before you make your purchase from us.

Assembly Information
Assembling a Sunset pergola is quite easy, even for novices. What's more, you won't need any specialized tools or machinery to assemble your pergola. If you (with the help of a friend) can lift up to 80 pounds and can use a tape measure, level, drill and circular saw, you’re ready for a rewarding do-it-yourself weekend project.
We provide the following resources to make assembly a breeze:
- A fully illustrated installation guide (written in very clear, easy-to-understand language)
- A 12-part video series covering every step of the assembly process
- FREE live assistance via FaceTime or Skype if needed
Here's what you'll need to install your Sunset pergola:
- A helper - Some pieces are too long & bulky for one person to handle alone. Installing a pergola is a 2-person job.
- 1-2 days - Depending on the skill level of you and your helper, you should be able to fully install this pergola in 1-2 days. (If you choose to hire a professional contractor, they should be able to bang it out in just 1 day.)
- A few common tools - You'll need a level, a measuring tape, a ladder, a drill with a 6" extension (and common drill bits & drivers), and a circular or miter saw. If you don't have one of these tools, you can likely borrow it from a friend/neighbor or (if you have to) rent it from a local home improvement or hardware store.
