Bringing the pergola frame and timber decking together in one coordinated design, it gives you a ready-made setting for garden dining, comfortable seating and relaxed entertaining.

Turn an Empty Garden Area Into Somewhere You Will Actually Use

Many gardens have enough room for outdoor furniture, but the space can still feel unfinished. A table placed on the lawn or a sofa pushed into the corner of a patio does not always create the inviting outdoor setting you had in mind.

The Champion timber pergola and decking kit solves that problem by giving furniture a clear home. The decking defines the floor area, while the pergola creates an attractive overhead frame that makes the whole space feel more deliberate.

It is a practical option for:

• Outdoor dining tables and chairs
• Garden sofas and lounge seating
• Family barbecue areas
• Summer entertaining spaces
• Morning coffee and reading corners
• Outdoor drinks and serving areas
• Hot tub seating zones
• Decorative container gardens
• Festoon lighting and evening gatherings

A Freestanding Design With More Flexibility

Because the Champion pergola does not need to be attached to your home, it can be placed where it will make the biggest difference to your garden.

• Create a separate retreat at the end of the garden
• Position it over an existing seating area
• Use it to break up a large lawn
• Place it beside planted borders for a softer look
• Create a dining area away from the house
• Use it as the central feature of a landscaped garden

The open-sided layout also means there is no fixed entrance. You can approach the pergola from any direction and arrange the furniture around the best views or access routes.

Integrated Decking for a Properly Finished Look

The included timber decking is a key part of the design. It gives the pergola a strong visual base and helps the completed area feel like one garden feature rather than a frame placed over an unrelated surface.

• Creates a defined platform for outdoor furniture
• Separates the seating area from lawns, gravel and borders
• Provides a coordinated timber finish beneath the canopy
• Makes tables and seating easier to arrange
• Offers useful space for pots, lanterns and accessories
• Helps the finished installation feel more established

The deck framework must be fitted on a stable, level and suitably prepared foundation. Proper support and good drainage are important, as the timber should not remain in persistent standing water.

Open-Rafter Canopy for Light and Gentle Shade

The Champion pergola uses spaced timber rafters rather than solid roof panels. This gives the area overhead definition while keeping it bright, open and comfortable.

• Provides partial shade when the sun is overhead
• Allows plenty of daylight beneath the pergola
• Maintains natural airflow throughout the seating area
• Keeps the space visually connected to the sky
• Creates support for climbing and trailing plants
• Provides a framework for suitable outdoor lighting

The open-rafter roof is not waterproof and should not be treated as a fully weatherproof garden shelter. Over time, climbing plants can be trained across the structure to introduce additional seasonal shade.

Easy to Furnish and Personalise

The clean, open layout gives you plenty of freedom to shape the area around the way you enjoy your garden.

• Position a dining table beneath the centre of the canopy
• Create a relaxed lounge with garden sofas and chairs
• Add large planters around selected posts
• Use one side for a barbecue or serving table
• Hang festoon lighting between the rafters
• Add outdoor cushions, lanterns and decorative accessories
• Train flowering plants around one or more corners

There are no fixed screens or balustrades dictating the furniture layout, so the space can be changed as your needs develop.

A Natural Framework for Climbing Plants

The upright posts, beams and open roof make the Champion wooden pergola well suited to climbing plants. As flowers and foliage begin to spread, the structure can gradually blend into the surrounding garden and become more attractive with each season.

• Climbing roses
  Add fragrance, colour and a classic garden appearance.
• Clematis
  Provides a wide choice of flower colours and flowering periods.
• Honeysuckle
  Produces scented flowers and helps attract pollinating insects.
• Jasmine
  Creates fragrant trailing growth around seating and dining areas.
• Grapevines
  Add broad foliage and a relaxed Mediterranean feel.
• Climbing hydrangea
  Provides leafy coverage with attractive clusters of flowers.
• Wisteria
  Can create an impressive flowering canopy but needs careful training, regular pruning and suitable support as it matures.

Young plants may require wires or ties while they become established. Climbing growth should be maintained so that excessive weight does not build up on one area of the timber frame.

Pressure-Treated Timber for Long-Term Outdoor Use

The Champion pergola and decking are made from pressure-treated timber, helping improve their resistance to rot, fungal decay and general garden weathering.

• Suitable for permanent outdoor installation
• Designed for year-round garden exposure
• Natural timber appearance works with a wide range of landscaping
• Can be maintained with a suitable exterior timber treatment
• Substantial wooden components create a dependable outdoor feature

Timber is a natural material, so knots, grain patterns and differences in colour should be expected. Minor surface checks, small splits or slight movement may also develop as the wood responds to changing temperatures and moisture levels. These are normal characteristics of genuine outdoor timber.

Choosing the Right Size and Position

Before ordering, think about how you want to use the pergola and how much room your furniture will need beneath the canopy.

• Check the full external product dimensions
• Allow enough internal space for tables, chairs or garden sofas
• Leave comfortable access around the decked platform
• Consider where the sun falls throughout the day
• Check the position of fencing, trees and garden buildings
• Allow room for assembly and future timber maintenance
• Check for underground pipes, drainage and electrical cables

A properly chosen position will make the pergola easier to use and help it sit naturally within the wider garden.
