I figured I'd have $4-$5K in materials in it if I did it myself.
And I might, if my ankle ever heals.

That ain’t a pergola. That is a good deal tho if that’s the finished product.

I'm not sure the description adds any cost to the end product.

A foreign word always costs more.

It’s why a veranda costs more than a porch.

We can value-engineer that down a good bit. Replace the stone

columns with 5 gallon buckets of Quickrete. After it dries, just knock the plastic off. The columns, trusses, and girders can just be old railroad ties. Those aren't hard to find and pretty cheap. They hold up well in the elements too. For the roofing, that base could be made from pallets, just gotta break down 20-30 of them and keep the BEST pieces of wood, preferably ones that do not splinter. If you want to splurge, get some OSB for it. Roofing is going to be hard to value engineer down, but I have seen people throwing away old shingles at the dump. A couple opportunistic trips out there and boom, free shingles.
$2500 for labor and MAYBE $500 in materials and you have yourself a nice little patio cover.
