Craftsmanship & Quality
Every oak frame pergola is crafted with precision using time-honoured techniques. Our expert team use mortise and tenon joints, secured with traditional oak pegs, ensuring each frame delivers exceptional strength and longevity. Unlike rough-sawn alternatives, our fully planed oak beams provide a smooth and refined finish, honouring the natural grain and character of the wood.
Why We Use Oak
Renowned for its natural durability and weather resistance, oak is an ideal material for outdoor structures. It withstands the elements with minimal maintenance, gracefully ageing to develop a silver patina over time.
Whether freestanding or attached to an existing structure, our oak posts ensure stability and style in every installation.
Bespoke Design Options
Feel free to choose from standard-size pergola kits or work with our team to create a fully customised frame that perfectly fits your outdoor space. Whether you prefer a modern aesthetic or a more traditional look, our flexible designs allow you to create the perfect addition to your garden.
Practical Applications
A bespoke oak pergola offers a versatile solution for transforming outdoor spaces into stylish, functional areas. Our pergolas provide a striking focal point that complements both contemporary and classic landscapes.
These oak frame pergolas can be used to complete patios, frame garden entrances, or even provide a covered space for climbing plants such as wisteria and roses. Their adaptable design makes them an excellent choice for private gardens, commercial spaces, or hospitality venues.
Sustainability Commitment
All of our oak pergolas are crafted from solid oak cut in PEFC-certified mills. Our production process prioritises environmental responsibility by minimising waste and repurposing offcuts into useful byproducts such as wood fuels.
By choosing a Round Wood oak structure, you are investing in an eco-conscious product that enriches your outdoor space and contributes to the preservation of our forests for future generations.

In the UK, most oak pergolas can be installed without the need for planning permission, provided they adhere to specific criteria. Generally, planning permission is not required if the pergola is freestanding, does not exceed a height of 2.5 metres (8.2 feet), and covers less than 50% of the area around your home.
Positioning the pergola at the rear or side of the property, rather than at the front, typically avoids the need for approval. Structures that are not attached to a balcony, veranda, or raised platform are also more likely to be exempt.
If the pergola is attached to your house, positioned close to a property boundary, or located within a conservation area or on a listed building, it may require formal approval. Elevated pergolas, which could impact privacy or obstruct views, might also fall under planning regulations.
It is advisable to check the latest guidelines from your local planning office. Preparing a detailed application, including accurate plans, dimensions, and material specifications, can help streamline the approval process if required. It is also worth considering the impact on neighbouring properties, particularly in terms of privacy and access to natural light.
For detailed and up-to-date information regarding planning permission for outbuildings, we recommend visiting the official Planning Portal.
While oak pergolas are often exempt from building regulations, compliance may be required under certain conditions. Approval is generally necessary if the structure exceeds an internal footprint of 30m² or is situated within one metre of a property boundary with a floor area greater than 15m².
As building regulations are subject to change, it is important to seek definitive guidance from your local Building Control Officer to ensure your project meets current standards.
The typical lead times for our high-quality oak pergolas range between 6 to 8 weeks from order confirmation to delivery. This timeline may vary depending on the complexity of your design and seasonal demand. We take great care to ensure each pergola is meticulously crafted and pre-assembled in our workshop before dispatch, ensuring a smooth installation process upon arrival.
Oak is a naturally durable material that requires minimal upkeep. Over time, it will develop a silver-grey patina when exposed to the elements, adding to its character. To maintain the original warm tones of the wood, occasional oiling with a high-quality UV-resistant product is recommended.
Regular checks should be carried out to clear any debris from joints and surfaces, helping to prevent moisture build-up. Thanks to the natural resilience of oak beams and oak posts, your pergola will provide many years of reliable service with minimal intervention.
An oak pergola offers a combination of strength, longevity, and timeless beauty that other materials simply can’t match. Oak’s natural durability makes it highly resistant to rot and pests, ensuring it stands the test of time with little maintenance. Unlike metal or plastic alternatives, an oak structure blends seamlessly into its surroundings.
