Choose pergola size from the usable activity area, furniture and circulation—not only the available slab. Mark doors, views, post-free zones, roof direction, drainage outlets and any screens or glass. Then divide the footprint into model-compatible modules. Final dimensions require a site-verified drawing and approved LUCY configuration.

What information does a manufacturer need?
Provide enough context to select a responsible configuration rather than only a price.
- Overall available length and width
- Furniture or seating plan
- Doors, windows, steps and circulation
- Acceptable post positions
- Location, exposure and intended roof movement
How are pergola dimensions confirmed?
Measure the finished usable surface and fixed obstructions, then distinguish total footprint, clear internal area and structural grid. A catalogue module is one bay, not necessarily the total project size.
How are accessories selected?
Screens and glass need finished opening dimensions. Fans, heaters and lighting need ceiling zones, headroom and power routes. Select these before the frame drawing is approved.
How is shipping planned?
Large overall areas may be divided into modules for structure, packing, transport and installation. The module plan should be agreed before container and unloading plans are finalized.
What affects the quotation?
Quotation changes with model, modules, spans, posts, finish, accessories, controls, foundation scope, freight and installation responsibility. LUCY does not publish one price by square metre without that scope.
Buyer process
Keep one current brief, drawing revision and responsibility schedule through every stage.
| Step | Action |

| 3 | Choose roof movement |
| 4 | Review model and module grid |
| 5 | Confirm accessories and drawings |
Common buying mistakes
These errors often cause scope gaps, delays or avoidable site changes.
- Sizing only from slab edges
- Ignoring door and chair clearance
- Treating one catalogue bay as unlimited project area
- Adding screens after openings are fixed
Project evidence
No client-authorized case is presented on this guide. Add real project dates, dimensions, configuration, shipment records and owned photographs only after verification and permission.

Common questions
Can LUCY quote from a sketch?+
A sketch can support an initial discussion, but final production requires verified dimensions and approved drawings.
Should accessories be selected later?+
Select intended accessories early because they can affect openings, loads, wiring, drainage and controls.
Does the manufacturer approve local foundations and codes?+
The local project team remains responsible for site conditions, foundations, approvals and qualified final connections unless a written scope states otherwise.
