These pergola plans have a simple design, making it a simple project for just about anyone to build. This pergola will fit on a 10′x10′ base. If you need a different size, study the plans and modify it to any size you need. Once you study the plans you can get a good idea of what is involved and you can build one to fit the area you need.
For an 8 ft. square (8′x8′) the support beams, crossbeams, and slats will measure 10 ft.
For a 10 ft. square (10′x10) the support beams, crossbeams, and slats will measure 12 ft. (as shown in the guide below).
For a 12 ft. square (12′x12′) the support beams, crossbeams, and slats will measure 14 ft.
The guide below shows a simple design for the support beams, crossbeams, and slats. For more designs you can use click here.
Remember to check the zoning laws in your area for permits and other requirements.

I need plans for a 16×24 pergola
I’ll take those 16×24 plans. How about a circular pergola plan or a large pergola plan with the japanese curve. I will take anything you have in an extra grande size.
That would be a pagoda (japanese plan). But I too would like a simple round pergola plan.
I WILL BE BUILDING A 8 X 9 PERGOLA. THE PLANS ABOVE WILL BE A BIG HELP. DO THE SHOW HOW THE 4 X 4 POSTS ATTACH AT THE TOPS?
Would a design like this work if I wanted to cover it with translucent fiberglass panels?
I also need plans for a 16 x 24 pergola. and if it is rounded on the long sides, so much the better! thanks!
