Software Features
Design Tools
Pergola Planner Software has pre-built templates you can choose from to help get you started. Once you begin your project, you can view the in-app tutorial for step-by-step instructions. The software automatically saves your design projects to your account.
With Pergola Planner Software, you can design in 2D or 3D environments. Use the pergola-shaping tools to insert specific dimensions to start your design project.
Materials Selection
Select from a wide array of products from our library of connectors and fasteners and different wood species for your framing lumber. To complete your design, you can choose from a large collection of furniture, windows, doors, plants and trees.
Plans and Materials Report
Pergola Planner Software highlights the critical connections for building a strong, safe outdoor structure and recommends appropriate hardware based on the customized design. When the design is completed, a full output report is generated that includes a Bill of Materials (lumber and hardware) needed to build the pergola.
