Your garden, on your terms — whatever the weather.
The Outsunny 3 x 3m Freestanding Aluminium Pergola is built for the way people actually use their gardens in the UK — a proper outdoor room that adapts to the day. Open the louvres wide on a bright morning, angle them for afternoon shade, close them when a shower rolls in, then let the remote-controlled LED lights carry the evening long after the sun has gone. This is the structure that turns a patio into a place you genuinely want to be.
Constructed from full-length aluminium posts and beams with 100mm columns, there are fewer joins and more rigidity — the kind of build quality you can feel when you put it together. Wind-rated to Level 7–8 with expansion screws and tested to a snow load of 25 kg/m², it's engineered to stand up to a British winter as confidently as a British summer. The integrated drainage system channels rainwater cleanly away, so the space stays comfortable even after a downpour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this pergola need planning permission in the UK?
In most cases, no. A freestanding pergola under 2.5m in height within your garden typically falls under permitted development rights. This model stands at 250cm (2.5m) — always verify with your local authority, particularly if you live in a listed building, conservation area or leasehold property.
How does this differ from a wall-mounted pergola?
This is a fully freestanding structure — it doesn't attach to your house and can be positioned anywhere in your garden. This gives you complete flexibility over placement, and means no fixings to your property's walls.
How long does assembly take?
Most customers complete assembly in 3–4 hours with two people. Full-length posts and beams mean fewer joins and a more straightforward build. Full step-by-step instructions are included in the box.
Does the LED lighting need an electrician to install?
The lights run on a low-voltage transformer (240V input, 24V output) with a 4.1m cable. Connection to a suitable outdoor power source is required — we recommend using a qualified electrician to ensure safe installation in line with UK wiring regulations.
What size furniture fits underneath?
The 3 x 3m footprint comfortably fits a 6-seater dining set or a modular lounge arrangement. Allow at least 30cm clearance from each column for comfortable movement around the space.
Is it suitable for year-round use in the UK?
Yes. The aluminium frame is rated to wind Level 7–8 with expansion screws, making it one of the most robust ratings available for a residential pergola. Clear any heavy snow from the roof promptly to maintain structural integrity during winter months.
