Oak Pergolas

British-made oak pergolas, crafted to define space with quiet confidence.

Bespoke oak pergolas, crafted for timeless outdoor spaces

Sitting Spiritually designs and crafts luxury oak pergolas in the South West of England using prime European oak and marine-grade stainless fixings. These are enduring garden structures - refined in detail, strong in build, and made to live outdoors, mellowing to a beautiful silver over time.

Choose an oak pergola to define a terrace, create a shaded seating area, or provide a dedicated frame for a garden swing seat or swinging day bed. Each pergola is made with considered scale and can be tailored to suit your space, layout and intended use.

Blown away by the first-class workmanship

From our first visit to Martin at Sitting Spiritually in Lyme Regis, right up until the delivery of our wonderful seat and pergola a few days ago, the professionalism and service from everyone involved, has been second to none.

The craftsmanship and design is superb, resulting in a work of art and a fabulously comfortable seat. Master craftsmen in these days of mass production are a joy to find.


William Morris’s wish was that the contents of our homes ( and of course our gardens! ) should be either beautiful or useful. Well, with our Sitting Spiritually commission, we have both!

A Sitting Spiritually Wooden Pergola

Each bespoke pergola is made using extra large timbers of green premium-grade oak.

Our expert joiners use only sapwood-free, knot-free wood—so it won’t twist, split, or rot over time. For the purposes of longevity and security, our pergolas can be concreted down or fixed to a suitable surface. We also pre-build each pergola entirely from scratch in our Devon and Dorset workshops to ensure the timbers will neatly slot into the joints upon delivery. So there will be no delay when it comes to enjoying your new handcrafted Pergola and Arbour Swing Seat!

We also offer a full installation service if you prefer to have us build your pergola on site.

Not sure if a veranda or pergola is right for you? Read our guide where we take you through different type of structures and which is most suitable for your garden.

Looking for something a bit special? You might wish to add lights to your pergola for that stunning homely touch.

Designed to sit on any surface

Pergola Hard Surface Fixing

Hard Ground:

For firm ground, we can provide stainless steel 'shoes' (as seen on the left image) for all four legs of the Pergola that simply screw into the ground for a beautiful clean finish.

Soft Ground:

We provide longer legs as standard to allow for digging in and concreting in place, meaning the core structure and height remains perfectly in place.
