How much does a pergola cost in Dubai?
Pergola prices in Dubai range from AED 8,000 for a 3x3m entry-level fixed fabric structure to AED 60,000+ for a large multi-module bioclimatic system, excluding 5% VAT. Installation, accessories, and a concrete foundation where one is needed, are charged separately on top. The type of pergola is the primary cost driver - our five products cover the full range from the Sama fixed fabric pergola at the entry point through to the Sierra bioclimatic motorised system at the premium end. For a detailed breakdown by product type, see our pergola cost guide.
What affects the price of a pergola?
Several factors influence the final price beyond the base product: size and number of modules (larger spans and multi-module configurations increase both materials and installation time); number of posts (a wall-mounted single-post installation costs less than a freestanding four-post structure requiring concrete groundwork); powder coating finish (standard colours such as white, anthracite and grey are included in base pricing - wood effect powder coating adds approximately 40% to the profile cost); add-ons (ceiling fans, LED lighting integrated into the frame, outdoor blinds and rain or wind sensors each add to the final price - these are significantly cheaper to integrate during installation than to retrofit later); and site conditions (rooftop access, elevated structures, difficult ground conditions or significant concrete work add time and cost).
Is installation included in the price?
No. Our prices are for the pergola itself, and installation is always quoted as a separate line so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Accessories such as lighting, fans and blinds are also charged separately, and if your site needs a concrete foundation for the posts, that is quoted after the site visit. Installation itself is not optional - correct fixing, structural integrity and warranty coverage all depend on our team completing it to the required standard, and every installation is backed by our 5-year warranty.
Do you offer supply only without installation?
No. Installation is priced separately, but every pergola we supply is installed by our own team. The fixing specification and 5-year warranty are tied to the installation - supply-only would not allow us to stand behind the product in the same way. If you are looking for supply only, we are not the right fit and would rather be upfront about that than take on a project we cannot warranty properly.
