Examples of pergola installations and priced paid by our clients
We've selected some ads posted on Yoojo, where you can see the prices paid by customers, the size of the pergola, and additional information to help you better estimate your costs.
Example 1: Installation of a bioclimatic Pergola
💰 Total cost paid : £40
💶 Price per m² : £4.5
📏 Size : 9m²
Let's start with an ad posted by a client for the installation of a 9m² pergola, which is the most requested size on our site.
In the end, the client paid only £40!
Example 2: A more complex pergola installation
💰 Total cost paid : £55
💶 Price per m² : £4.5
📏 Size : 12m²
Here's a more complex example where the client had their pergola installed half on concrete and half on the ground!
It's important to provide as much information as possible to the installers because they need to bring the right tools for the job.
For the installation of this pergola, the client paid only £55... not bad!
Example 3: Installation of an adjustable blade pergola
💰 Total cost paid : £90
💶 Price per m² : £15
📏 Size : 6m²
Here's another interesting example where the pergola size is relatively small, but the price is higher than average.
Why?
In this case, the client chose a highly experienced handyman (which usually means higher rates), and the installation was in London (a city with higher costs).
Each case is unique, as Yoojo doesn't impose fixed rates... providers set the fairest price based on their expertise!
Example 4: Installing a pergola cover
💰 Total cost paid : £25
💶 Price per m² : Not provided
📏 Size : Not provided
We’re taking a brief detour to show that you can also request the installation of pergola accessories on Yoojo.
In this case, the client’s shading cover fell off.
She easily found a local provider to handle the repair for only £25!
Example 5: Installation of a custom pergola
💰 Total cost paid : £100
💶 Price per m² : £6.6
📏 Size : 15m²
Moving up a notch with this pergola installation, which wasn’t bought off the shelf.
Everything was custom-made, and the client sought out 2 providers to help with the installation.
In the end, he paid £50 per person!
Example 6: Installation by an expert
💰 Total cost paid : £130
💶 Price per m² : £5.20
📏 Size : 24.5m²

Example 7: Installation of a very large pergola
💰 Total cost paid : £100
💶 Price per m² : £3
📏 Size : 35m²
35m² is quite large for a pergola, and naturally, the installation cost starts to climb!
As you can see, generally, the larger the area, the lower the cost per m².
Example 8: Pergola repair
💰 Total cost paid : £30
💶 Price per m² : Not provided
📏 Size : Not provided
We’ll wrap up with an unusual example!
Sometimes, you just need a local expert to repair a pergola that’s suffered from harsh weather.
What's interesting about this case is that the client mentioned the hours reserved.
On Yoojo, these hours are just to book a slot in the provider’s calendar. The total price is agreed upon in advance, before booking.
And don’t worry, if you need to add extra hours, you can do it directly from your client account!
