Dunster House Utopia Diamond Corner Pergola Kit – 10' x 10'

The Dunster House Utopia Diamond is a corner pergola designed to make the most of an underused garden corner, turning it into a proper outdoor retreat. Measuring just under 10 by 10 feet with a standing height of around 6 foot 8, it's a generous size without overwhelming a typical garden, and because it sits below 2.5 metres, you can get on with building it straight away without worrying about planning permission.

Construction is reassuringly solid, with 70mm by 70mm posts that give the frame a chunky, stable feel, complemented by slatted trellis panel walls that let light and air through while providing a sense of enclosure. It's made from slow-grown spruce rather than cheaper pine, and the pressure treatment gives it a 10-year guarantee against rot and insect damage, so it should look good season after season with very little upkeep.

Everything you need to put it together arrives in the kit, including all the fixings, which makes it a practical choice for a confident weekend DIY project. The slatted walls also double as a natural climbing frame for plants, so it works beautifully if you want to grow roses, clematis, or hops up and around the structure. It suits anyone looking to create a defined garden room or shaded seating area without the commitment of a full garden building.
