Choosing the Right Pergola Size

Once you’ve decided on your style of pergola, the next question is size.

Before adding your pergola to your basket, think about how you want to use the space and what Maze Living set you would like to place underneath it.

3m x 3m Cosy & Considered

A 3m x 3m pergola is a great choice for creating a more intimate outdoor setting.

It is ideal for:

Cosy outdoor seating

A dining table and chairs

Smaller patios

Creating a defined garden zone

Think morning coffees, relaxed lunches and evenings spent outside with a few close friends.

3m x 4m The Outdoor Room

Want a little more space to play with and create your own?

A 3m x 4m pergola gives you great flexibility to create a room like environment for your outdoor living space.

It is perfect for accommodating:

A sofa set

A dining table

Larger seating arrangements

A combination of furniture and accessories

This size is particularly effective if you want your pergola to become a genuine extension of your living space.

4m x 4m Room to Entertain

For larger gardens and bigger entertaining spaces, a 4m x 4m pergola gives you plenty of room to create something truly versatile.

With additional space, you can combine different arrangements, creating dedicated areas for dining, lounging and entertaining.

If outdoor hosting is high on your list, this is where you can really make the most out of your garden.

Need a Little More Privacy? Make It Your Own

A pergola doesn’t have to be completely open.

If you are looking to create a little more privacy or shelter, Maze Living offers additional options that allow you to customise your space. Privacy blinds and louvre panels can help define your outdoor area, creating a more enclosed feeling when you want it. They’re particularly useful during cooler months, helping your pergola to feel more like a outdoor room while providing additional privacy and shelter. This means your pergola can adapt with you, open and airy when the sun is shining, or more enclosed and intimate when you want to create a cosy atmosphere.

Don’t Forget the Lighting

The right lighting can completely transform your pergola once evening arrives. Integrated LED lighting allows you to create a warm, inviting atmosphere at the touch of a button, turning your pergola into the perfect setting for evening drinks, dinner with friends or a late-night conversation. Rather than heading indoors as soon as the sun goes down, your pergola becomes a space to continue and enjoy. Pair the lighting with comfortable seating, soft cushions and a few carefully chosen accessories, and you’ve created an outdoor setting that feels just as considered at night as it does during the day.

Your Garden, Your Outdoor Room

Choosing a pergola is about more than finding a structure that fits your garden.

It’s about thinking about how YOU want to live outdoors. Perhaps you want a simple, defined space for a morning coffee or tea or maybe you are looking for a sophisticated space for entertaining with family and friends. Though you may want to go all out and create an outdoor room that can be enjoyed throughout the year.

Whatever your vision, Maze Living has a pergola designed to help you bring your dream to life. From the simple and stylish Jupiter to the flexible Como or the feature led Aurora, each collection offers a different way to elevate your outdoor space.

The only question is: how will you use yours?
