Pergolas & Covered Spaces - professional pergolas & covered spaces services by Connaught Tree Care across the West of Ireland
Overview

What we do

An Irish summer can turn on you in a matter of minutes, which is why a well-designed pergola or covered space is one of the best additions you can make to your garden. We design and build timber pergolas for a classic, natural look and aluminium options for low-maintenance, long-lasting performance, and we brace every structure for the strong winds we see across the West of Ireland. With a solid roof, louvred canopy or sail covers, you can enjoy your garden from early spring right through to late autumn, whatever the weather throws at us. Every structure is designed to suit your house, garden and budget, and installed by our own team from start to finish.

Timber pergolas

Beautiful hardwood or pressure-treated softwood pergolas, built to complement the natural character of your garden.

Aluminium pergolas

Sleek, low-maintenance aluminium structures with integrated louvres and drainage for all-year comfort.

Covered seating & dining areas

Solid or louvred roof coverings that turn a patio into a sheltered space for dining and entertaining.

Gazebos & pavilions

Freestanding garden structures with full or partial roofs for shelter, privacy and shade.

Pricing note: A standard 3x4m pergola typically costs €2,500-€5,000 installed depending on timber grade, size and extras like lighting or roofing.

FAQ

Frequently asked

How much does a pergola cost in Ireland?
A 3x4m timber pergola typically costs from around €2,500 to €5,000 installed, depending on materials, roof type and site access. Aluminium louvred systems cost more, and we give you an exact quote after visiting your garden.
Timber or aluminium - which is better for Irish weather?
Both work well when properly built. Timber suits traditional homes and ages naturally, while aluminium is virtually maintenance-free and ideal for exposed, windy sites.
Will my pergola stand up to coastal winds?
Yes - we anchor every structure to engineering standards and brace it for the wind loads typical of the West of Ireland, including exposed coastal sites.
Do I need planning permission for a pergola?
Most domestic pergolas and garden structures are exempt from planning permission, but that depends on size, height and proximity to boundaries. We advise on this before any work begins.
How long does installation take?
A typical pergola is built in one to three days, depending on size and complexity, with minimal disruption to your garden.
How do I maintain my pergola?
Timber pergolas benefit from an annual coat of oil or stain to protect against Irish rain. Aluminium structures just need a wipe-down with soapy water.
