The process
From constraints to agreed scope.
- 01
Share the context

Confirm scope
The design, responsibilities, inclusions and checks become one proposal.
Project checks, related guides and questions

Questions
Custom pergola questions.
01What makes a pergola custom?
Its form, structure, roofing and drainage are designed for the home, use and site.
02Can custom design work around an unusual space?
Yes. Feasibility still depends on measured dimensions and verified conditions.
03Can a custom pergola be attached or freestanding?
Both can be considered. Attachment depends on support, cladding, flashing and drainage.
04Can roof materials be combined?
Yes. Their junction and drainage must be designed as part of the complete roof.
05What should I send to start?
Send the suburb, wide photos, rough dimensions, plans and the difficult condition.
