Modern Oak Pergola Without Overhang | Sleek UK Garden Design

A modern oak pergola without an overhang creates a clean architectural look. Straight lines and flush beam ends give it a simple, minimalist appearance. As a result, this style works particularly well beside modern homes, patios, terraces and smaller gardens. Our standard oak joists are 70 × 145 mm. However, larger joists may be required when the ring beam spans further. Therefore, we can increase the joist size to suit the structural requirements. This also keeps the overall proportions balanced.

Traditional Oak Joinery

At Timber Solution, we do not use dovetail joints to secure pergola joists. As oak naturally shrinks and moves as it dries, a dovetail joint may become less secure over time. Instead, we use traditional oak joinery that works with the natural movement of the timber. We also do not use steel brackets to secure the joists. Instead, the joints are formed within the oak itself. This keeps the structure strong while maintaining a clean appearance.
