How do I measure for a pergola?

The dimensions of a Heartland Pergola refer to the width and depth of the pergola's roof. Traditional pergolas extend beyond the posts, but Modern pergolas do not have overhangs. A 14' x 14' patio may benefit from a 16' x 16' pergola for optimal sun coverage.

Are your pergolas vinyl or aluminum?

We use a durable aluminum base structure wrapped in low-maintenance vinyl. Unlike vinyl pergolas with wood reinforcement that can rot or warp, our aluminum ensures a long-lasting structure with a Lifetime Warranty.

How do I place an order?

You can order online through our website or call our sales team. For custom sizes or configurations, contact us directly. After ordering, you'll receive a Docusign document to confirm your specifications before fabrication begins.

What is your return policy?

Due to the custom nature of our products, we do not accept returns. However, if there’s an issue, we will replace any missing or damaged parts immediately.

How much is shipping?

Shipping is included for orders within the continental US. For other regions, please contact us for a quote.

Do you have installation instructions?

Each pergola kit comes with an instruction manual and related CAD drawings. You can also watch our step-by-step installation videos available on YouTube.

What is the Heartland Pergola warranty?

We offer a Lifetime Warranty covering defects like peeling, rot, flaking, rust, and abnormal discoloration, under normal and proper use.

Can I install my pergola myself?

Yes! Many customers choose the DIY route. With basic building skills and simple tools, you can install our pergolas using written instructions, video tutorials, and customer support. Be prepared to lift up to 80lbs and work with saws, drills, and leveling tools.

Custom Pergola Kits | Heartland Pergolas

Get the right custom pergola design for you

We consider all of our pergolas to be custom pergola kits. As each one of our pergola orders is fabricated as it is placed to the exact specifications on size, color, shade, end caps and extras! Our pergola kits are also trimmable so in many situations, they can be customized to fit around small obstructions easily on site.

However, there are times when just a simple trim of purlins, end caps or rafters won't quite achieve the look you are after. If you are looking to buy an Arbor, Specialty Shaped Pergola, or Custom Sized Pergola, our team can design your custom vinyl pergola or arbor. The same durable materials and features we are known for, but designed to be installed perfectly for your unique space!
