A pergola can completely transform your backyard — creating shade, defining an outdoor room, and adding value to your home.
But one of the most common questions homeowners ask is: “What size should my pergola be?”
Getting the proportions right ensures your pergola feels balanced with your house, yard, and furniture layout — not too big to dominate the space, and not so small that it looks awkward or impractical.
Let’s break down the best pergola sizes, spacing measurements, and design rules according to professional builders and landscape architects.
Pergola Type: Small Patio Pergola
Common Dimensions: 8×8 ft (2.4×2.4 m)
Best For: Small decks, apartment patios
Pergola Type: Medium Pergola
Common Dimensions: 10×12 ft (3×3.6 m)
Best For: Average backyard or dining set
Pergola Type: Large Pergola
Common Dimensions: 12×16 ft (3.6×4.8 m)
Best For: Big outdoor entertaining spaces
Pergola Type: Custom / Oversized
Common Dimensions: 16×20 ft+ (4.8×6 m+)
Best For: Luxury gardens, poolside areas
If your patio measures 3 m × 3 m, choosing the right pergola size ensures comfort, balance, and lasting strength. The pergola should ideally match or slightly exceed the patio footprint to provide full coverage and good proportions.
For a 3 m × 3 m patio, the ideal pergola size is 3.2 m × 3.2 m or 3.5 m × 3.5 m.
This extra space provides better shade, allows for post placement, and gives a visually balanced look.
