A pergola kit is a ready-made structure for your garden that ships unassembled. Most kits are designed with shipping in mind, meaning the way they are cut and packaged creates better shipping environments. While this convenience is undoubtedly nice, it doesn't ensure that the final product will be as nice as building one on your own. However, the kit option is best for those without the skillset to build their own or for people who may want to disassemble and transport the structure.\r
