Pergolas?

[diybob]

Where is the best place to buy a reasonably priced pergola kit for a 2 x 2-metre hot tub, please?

Anyone?

Hi and welcome.

Contact the manufacturer of the hot tub. They are your best bet.

Hi sorry, but why would I contact the hot tub seller for a pergola?
I woould just like a reasonably priced wood one, in kit form preferably.

Why?

Because they probably get requests for the same thing from other purchasers.

Or look on eBay.

I've done all that.
I thought being a DIY site there'd be a lot of people in the know?

What you were asking for is pretty specific, we're more about, "how to do stuff" rather than "where to find stuff."

OK, point taken,
. Thank you.

A pergola, in my opinion, is worthless. Try a wind sail for shade.

Amazon.com : wind sail shade

Try Wayfair... they have tons of them.

That looks expensive and I can't underdand what it's supposed to do.

Pergolas are best used to support plants all year round.
For hot tubs a sunshade, for the few weeks a year it'll be used durfng the daytime when it's very sunny.

The OP asked for Pergolas... sure some smaller ones are used for plants but the majority are not. They are a compromise that allows some shade some sun, and good air flow. You can buy ready-made smaller pergolas for hot tubs exactly like he was asking about... or you can fab one up on your own. Depends on skills and tools.
