Macrocarpa Pergola

In addition to assembling the ready-made pergolas as an onsite service, we take pride in our craftsmanship when it comes to building Macrocarpa Pergolas. Over the years, we have constructed dozens of these impressive structures. The posts are a sturdy 200mm wide, and the beams are available in either 200mm or 250mm tall profiles, each with a substantial thickness of 50mm. This combination gives the pergola a remarkably solid feel and presence. All the timber features a slightly rough bandsaw finish, perfectly complementing the rugged aesthetic and making each pergola a standout addition to any outdoor space.

#1 Completed Macrocarpa Pergola

The sides are left open as we didn't was to enclose this at all.

#2 We set the Macrocarpa posts 700mm deep.

The challenge with this job was making sure we didn't get soil mixed in with all the white stone chip. We had to cut the pavers to allow us to install the posts where we wanted.

Before we left for the day the guys fixed the spouting that had been damaged by the boat. It was a relatively easy fix but it had been busted for a while and the water was starting to damage the soffit and fascia.

#3 The bearers and rafters are installed next.

Normally we install the purlins and that is the job completed. But these clients wanted a flat roof installed so they could relax in the evening watching the stars with a little protection from the rain.

#4 Installing the polycarbonate sheets.

We has these sent down from Auckland as a special order. This allowed us to have the full length covered with no joins on the long run. The joins between the sheets were designed to be hidden by the purlins so when you looked up, you only saw the wood. The 6mm thick polycarbonate sheets are completely clear.

#5 Macrocarpa Pergola completed.

Everything is nice and tidy again. No soil or wood shavings in the white stone chip.

#6 Original Macrocarpa Pergola built 5yrs earlier.

See how the timber has silvered. This is normal for all timber left outside in Hawkes Bay. You can stain, paint or just oil the timber to extend it's life. The clients installed lights on this pergola.
