What fits comfortably under a 3m x 3m pergola?
This size is more spacious than many people expect. A 3m x 3m pergola can comfortably accommodate:
- A 4–6 seat outdoor dining set
- A corner sofa or lounge seating arrangement
- A fire pit or coffee table setup
- Optional LED lighting and side screens
Because aluminium pergolas have slimmer posts than timber, you retain more usable internal space while keeping a clean, modern aesthetic.
Height matters more than most people realise
Many standard pergolas on the market feel low once installed — especially when furniture, lighting, and screens are added.
PergoLIFE pergolas are designed with generous height options, including taller 2.5m configurations, helping to:
- Improve airflow
- Create a more open, premium feel
- Avoid the “boxed-in” effect common with cheaper pergolas
If headroom and openness are important to you, height should be considered just as carefully as width and depth.

3m x 3m vs 3m x 4m pergolas – which is right for you?
Choosing between a 3m x 3m and a 3m x 4m pergola often comes down to how you use your space:
Choose 3m x 3m if you want:
- A balanced, square design
- A pergola that doesn’t dominate the garden
- A dedicated seating or dining zone
Choose 3m x 4m if you want:
- Extra depth for long tables or sofas
- More coverage for entertaining
- A pergola that defines a larger patio area
Both sizes perform exceptionally well — the right choice depends on proportion, not just size.

Why aluminium pergolas outperform timber alternatives
All PergoLIFE 3m x 3m pergolas are manufactured from powder-coated aluminium, offering clear advantages over timber:
- Rust-resistant and weatherproof
- No warping, rotting, or cracking
- Minimal maintenance
- Clean, modern appearance
- Designed for UK weather conditions
This makes aluminium pergolas a long-term investment rather than a seasonal feature.
