The height of a mono-pitch pergola can vary, but it's often between 2.5 and 4 meters, making it a great option for smaller backyards.
To ensure a stable structure, the posts of a mono-pitch pergola should be spaced no more than 2.5 meters apart, and should be anchored to the ground with deep foundations.
The materials used for a mono-pitch pergola can range from traditional timber to modern composite materials, each with their own unique benefits and drawbacks.
