Can I mount a pergola or pavilion on my deck?
If you’re mounting to an existing wood deck, a good and proper mounting method is to drop the posts down through the deck and secure them to the joists. The recommended method is to take the wooden portion of the post down through the deck.
What is the current lead time?
Lead times can vary depending on the project, so the best way to get an accurate answer is to fill out a quote form. Once submitted, our team will review your details and provide a timeframe for your structure.
Can I receive a drawing prior to placing an order so I know where to place the footers?
Yes. We can provide a drawing for the concrete footer placement before you place your order.
Where do we deliver and install Pergolas?
- Pergolas that are built on-site are typically available within 300 miles of Southeastern Pennsylvania.
- Our DIY Kits are available across the continental United States.
How much do pergolas cost?
The cost can vary widely based on factors like size and the materials you choose. If you’d like an accurate estimate tailored to your project, reach out for a free quote.
Which material is best for a pergola?
Vinyl and wood are the two most popular options, each offering its advantages. Factors like budget, upkeep, and how long the material lasts can all play a role in your decision. If you’re looking for inspiration or tips, our pergola ideas blog has plenty of helpful info.
Should I get a pergola or a pavilion?
That really comes down to what you’re looking for in an outdoor structure. The key difference lies in the roof design; pavilions have a full, solid roof, while pergolas use an open-slat or lattice style. If you need more shelter from the sun or rain, a pavilion might be the way to go, though it usually comes with a higher price tag. Want a deeper comparison? Take a look at our detailed article on pergolas vs. pavilions.
My patio is sloped. Do you factor this in while onsite?
Yes! We use a laser level and cut the posts onsite as needed.
Are permits required?
In many cases, permits are required. Permit requirements often vary by state, county, city, or local municipality. Check your state and local laws for the most accurate permit requirements for you! Lancaster County Backyard does not obtain permits.

- We will be happy to review your photos and discuss possible scenarios/ideas with you.
- A site visit/consultation can be requested for a fee based on your location.
Does vinyl cost much more than wood?
The extra expense of covering and constructing a vinyl structure makes it 20-40% more expensive than it’s wood counterparts.
Can I mount a pergola or pavilion to my paver patio?
We do not recommend fastening to pavers. They do not provide structural stability and are not a secure anchoring method. The recommended method is to install concrete piers approximately 18” in diameter and 36” deep. First, remove a section of pavers at each post location. Then dig down 36”. Fill with concrete to approximately one to two inches below the bottom of pavers. After the pergola or pavilion is installed, the pavers can be cut to fit and replaced around the columns.
