Education & FAQsFrequently Asked Questions

One-size-fits-all pergola kits rarely fit your space, and custom builds can run $10K or more.

With Bjorn Woodworks pergola brackets, DIYers of any skill level can build a custom, rock-solid pergola without the hefty price tag. Plus, you can easily add privacy walls, a roof, or even an outdoor kitchen—all while keeping it budget-friendly.

Go as big as you can dream! While we recommend 12×12 sections up to 9ft tall, you can expand endlessly with our extender kits, 5-way brackets, and more. Build bigger, bolder, and exactly how you want — and if you need a hand, we’re here to help!

For a long-lasting pergola, go with pressure-treated wood or weather-resistant lumber like cedar. Just make sure your timbers are 3.5” x 3.5” (4×4) or 5.5” x 5.5” (6×6) for a perfect bracket fit.

Other woods, like Douglas Fir, work great too — just be sure to seal them properly to keep them protected over time!

Of course! Just write in to support@bjornwoodworks.com and we’ll see if we can help you out!

We’re glad you asked! Bjørn uses industry leading ultra-thick, 12 GA (2.6 mm), steel design sealed in black powder-coating. We dare you to find tougher brackets.

We don’t currently offer shade sails but each kit comes equipped with shade sail brackets that make mounting a shade sail a breeze.

Your pergola will turn out as good as your brackets allow. Which is why we're so committed to precision!

USA Designed

Yes, our name is "Bjorn" and yes we know it's of Scandinavian decent. However, so are we. Our ancestors hail from Scandinavia and were prolific in their ability to work with wood. Which is why when creating the company, we made a nod to the ancestors but created in the USA with the worlds best equiment.

Modular

We love to DIY pergolas and just about everything else in our lives which is why all of our products allow for customers to put their own personal touch on their project. Make a shaded structure that fits your area and not some preconfigured kit that allows no flexibility!
