Bespoke Free-Standing Pergolas for Leeds Homes and Gardens
A free-standing louvred pergola in Leeds is picked for one reason: you get to site the cover for the sun, the view, and the plot — not for the position of a back wall. Four posts on independent pads, 4-way drainage, optional side screens.
Leeds plots — what the survey usually finds
Commercial installs cluster around Thorpe Park and Leeds Valley Park. Residential work runs across Victorian back-to-backs in Headingley and Chapel Allerton and new-build estates around Alwoodley and Thorpe Park.

- LED perimeter and speaker points

Frequently asked questions
How does the drainage work?
4-way integrated gutter routes to downpipes in each corner post, tied into your surface drainage. Sized to West Yorkshire rainfall.
Can I add screens later?
Yes — frame designed to accept zip-track screens on any face. Common Leeds upgrade in year two.
How are the posts fixed?
Four or six posts on independent concrete pads. Pads poured typically a week before the frame arrives so the concrete cures fully.
Do I need planning for a free-standing pergola in Leeds?
Usually not under permitted development if within height and setback limits. Leeds City Council / Bradford MDC / Kirklees / Calderdale / Wakefield MDC outbuilding rules in Leeds checked at survey.
Can I site it away from the house?
Yes — whole point. We check underground services on survey before confirming location.
