Assembly We design our Pergola kits with ease of assembly a
top priority. All the parts are prepared and labeled ready
for an easy assembly.
Boots The boot adds
visual weight to the bottom of a leg. It dresses up
the leg and conceals the black plastic foot plate.
Custom
Drapery Achieve privacy with our custom drapery. Choose
color, style, size and accessories. Fashioned daily
by Diann Baldwin.
Finishing:
Painting, Staining, & Sealing We recommend Olympic Maximum Sealer and we apply
it here at the factory, but if you prefer white paint
or stain then that is something that you can do prior
to assembly.
Joinery Every member is dado cut on top and bottom so the
parts just fall together in an orderly fashion. The
accuracy of the cuts is critical. Old world joinery
preformed by a wood cutting robot.
Glossary Get an understanding for the pergola lingo used
on this website.
Lattice Baldwin Pergolas prides itself on its attention to
detail. Our lattice contains vertical and horizontal pieces
midlapped for a flush finish. Our lattice is amazinly
strong and durable - it will last a lifetime!
Lintels
& Dentil Work The lintel is a 4x4 which fits into a dado cut in
two legs. Above the lintel is the dentil work (teeth).
Lintels allow for the option of rope lighting.
Materials We use Western Red Cedar and Stainless Steel Fasteners.
Western Red Cedar is very decay resistant and our bolts
will never rust. Our top quality materials allow a Baldwin
Pergola to last fifty years or more.
Rafters
& Purlins Rafters are the large 2" x 6" framing
members. Purlins are the small 2" x 3" trellis
members.
Roman
Columns Our columns are made the old fashioned way, using
real Western Red Cedar. The boards are not finger jointed,
they are real boards. Our columns qualify for use on
any historic restoration project.
Shipping A big part of what we do is carefully packing the
pergola parts into a large wooden crate for shipment.
We use Yellow Freight as our delivery service.
Wiring
& Lights There is nothing more relaxing than spending an
evening under the soft glow of a pergola with lights!
Our Garden Room, Star Gazer, and pergolas with dentil
work can be outfitted with rope lights.
"I recently purchased a pergola kit from Baldwin Pergolas. It was a large custom pergola measuring about 16 by 36 feet. I am totally happy with the materials, workmanship, and customer support provided by Baldwin Pergolas.
My wife and I were able to assemble the pergola over the course of a few days. (With a little help from two neighbors on the first day.)
We found that everything fit together exactly as planned.
Everyone who has seen the pergola, including our neighbors, and the building inspector (!), has been very impressed with the
design of the pergola, the quality of the materials, and the precision of its construction.
Their comments have included "beautiful", "amazing" and quite a few "wows" !
Our experience with Baldwin Pergolas has been completely positive.
Their personal commitment to quality shows in everything they do.
Thank you,
