Gazebo and Pergola Project

A gazebo or a garden pergola creates a shaded place to relax without the bulk of an enclosed structure. Both usually fall under category six construction, the simplest class in the code.

When a project is needed

A small open gazebo often goes through a simplified procedure with a notification to the municipality. A larger structure, a solid roof, or a link to other buildings on the plot usually needs a full project. The exact requirement depends on the area and the specific municipality.

If you are already planning a fence or a carport on the plot, see our articles on the fence project and the carport and shed project. The three are often coordinated together for one consistent garden design.

What the service includes

We prepare the structural solution for the supports and the roof matched to the material, wood or metal. We match the position to shade, wind and the view from the house. We prepare the documents for the municipality when the scope requires it.

For the wider picture on construction categories, see our guide to building permits in Bulgaria.

If the plot also needs space for a car, see our garage project service as well.

The price depends on your project

The size of the structure, the material and the roof all determine the scope of work, so we do not publish a fixed price.

We send a specific quote after a free consultation. Contact us to discuss your idea.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a garden gazebo

Small open gazebos often only require a notification to the municipality. Larger or enclosed structures usually need a full project.

What is the difference between a gazebo and a pergola

A gazebo usually has a roof and a more enclosed form. A pergola is a more open structure, often covered with plants, and mainly provides shade.

Can the pergola be attached to the house

Yes, as long as the structure is compatible with the load bearing wall of the house. This is checked during the site visit before the project.
