A Lean-To is a structure that is installed against a wall from an existing building, typically using rafters/posts.

A Lean-To is installed against a wall of a building, whereas a Pergola is typically free-standing and is supported by 4 posts.

If a weatherproof membrane is used, and adequately maintained with Osmo Oil, our pergolas are weatherproof.

Yes! All the components of the pergola are pressure-treated, aside from the roofing (depending on the type you ordered). This is to protect the timber against decay, ensuring longevity.

We absolutely do! Just like our gates and fencing, we can make completely bespoke pergolas. If you'd like a quote for your measurements, please contact our Sales team on 01409 231 763 or sales@ruby-group.co.uk.

You can usually build a pergola in your garden without planning permission,as long as you follow permitted development rules. We recommend consulting your local council first, to be sure.

The Gazebo does not arrive fully assembled; however, we have created in-depth manuals to guide you on assembly - so whether you're a keen DIY enthusiast or a professional fitter, you can construct our pergolas yourself. You can find these manuals on the specification table on each listing.

All the fixings needed for installation are included in the delivery of your pergola parts!

You can! You can only use water-based paint on our pergolas; however, you will need to ensure the pergola is as dry as possible before painting. We do recommend applying UV protection prior to painting also.

We highly recommend treating your pergola at least every 6 months with Osmo Oil, to protect your gazebo against the elements and against decay. We also recommend checking your pergola every so often and removing any built-up dirt and grime.

Our Gazebos can last anywhere from 10-20 years if properly maintained.
