98"x78" Gothic Cap pvc pergola

Deqing Huazhijie Railing & Fencing Co., Ltd. manufactures the custom 98"x78" Gothic Cap pvc pergola suppliers range at our works in Huzhou, Zhejiang, near Shanghai, alongside a full PVC fencing and outdoor structure programme. The pergola is an overhead frame assembled from 100% virgin PVC profiles — pre-routed 5"x5" posts, 2"x6" capped rails and a Gothic-capped post top — supplied as a complete kit for garden, patio, villa, farm and commercial yard projects. As a PVC pergola manufacturer in China, we build it for buyers who need a structure that holds its appearance through decades of sun, rain and frost without recoating.

Frame Construction and Material Basis

Every structural member is extruded from virgin PVC with no recycled content and no lead. The formulation carries DuPont titanium dioxide at 10 parts per 100 as the UV package, together with impact modifiers and stabilizers, which is what keeps the surface from chalking and the profile from turning brittle in service. The frame is not coated: colour runs through the profile, so scuffs and scratches do not expose a different substrate underneath.

• Polymer: 100% virgin PVC, lead-free, no recycled material
• UV system: DuPont TiO2 at 10 parts per 100, non-chalking
• Service temperature: −40 °C to +70 °C
• Fire behaviour: V-0 rated formulation
• Surface: uncoated, colour-through profile, low maintenance

Specification Meaning: Reading the 98" x 78" Frame

The two figures in the model name are the standard finished height and width — 98 inches tall and 78 inches wide. Both are starting points rather than fixed limits, and we quote different heights and widths on the same profile set when a site calls for it. The table below sets out what each component does and where the configuration can move.

The 5"x5" post is routed before it leaves Huzhou, so rail positions are fixed by the tooling rather than by the installer. That keeps the frame square on site and removes the measuring and cutting that normally slows a pergola installation.

Colour and Configuration Options

Four standard colours cover most landscape palettes, and the same profiles can be run to a specified match for a larger programme. Because colour is compounded into the PVC rather than applied, a White, Tan, Grey or Cream pergola keeps its tone across the whole frame, including cut ends.

• Colours: White, Tan, Grey, Cream
• Height: standard 98", other heights available
• Width: standard 78", other widths available
• Post: 5"x5" pre-routed, Gothic Cap
• Rail: 2"x6" with arbor cap
• Reinforcement: stainless steel insert in the bottom rail
• Gate: matching gate available

Where the Pergola Fits

The frame is specified for garden and patio shade structures, villa and estate landscaping, farm and country yard entrances, warehouse and commercial yard walkways, balcony and terrace transitions, and temporary installations that need to go up and come down without finishing work. It also works as the architectural anchor at the end of a fence run, where a privacy line meets a seating or entry area.

Where a project combines structures, the pergola is quoted alongside our HEA PVC privacy panel fence 6'x8' and the HEE 6' height T&G panel PVC fence, so posts, rails and caps arrive in one colour batch and one shipment.

Installation Sequence and Site Interfaces

Assembly follows the same logic as a wood structure, with the cutting already done. The sequence below is the one we walk through with installation crews and cover in our video guidance.

1. Set the pre-routed posts to the finished width and check diagonal square.
2. Embed and brace the posts; treat vinyl posts as you would wood posts and cement them where local practice calls for it.
3. Insert the 2"x6" rails into the post routes.
4. Fit arbor caps to the rail ends and Gothic Caps to the post tops.
5. Confirm the stainless insert sits correctly in the bottom rail before final fixing.
6. Hang the matching gate if the run includes one, and check swing clearance.

Post embedment depth, footing diameter and concrete specification are set by local ground conditions and frost depth. We confirm the fixing method against the site information supplied with the inquiry so the post length we cut matches the intended embedment.

Quality Control and Compliance Evidence

Raw materials are traceable, and an independent quality-control group inspects each extruder's production every hour, with additional random checks across the run. That regime covers wall thickness, colour consistency, routing position and cap fit before parts are packed.

• Certification: SGS, CE, ISO 9001
• Additional approvals held: CE, ROHS, UL94
• Fire rating: V-0
• Customs classification: HS code 3925900000
• Warranty: 30-year limited warranty

Certificate sets, material statements and the HS code are issued with the shipping documents so the consignment clears without a second round of correspondence.

Matching Gates, Packing and Project Handoff

A complete installation is quoted as Section + Post + Gate, which keeps the bill of materials closed and avoids short shipments on site. Each packed section occupies 0.3 CBM, and a 40HQ container is quoted at about 7–10 days delivery once the order is confirmed. Sections are bundled for transport and handling, and the kit is designed to be moved and installed by a two-person crew.

OEM and ODM work is part of our normal production: profile, colour, height, width and cap style can all be developed against a customer drawing or sample, and we produce more than 500 PVC profile styles across the wider fence programme.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the standard dimensions of the 98"x78" Gothic Cap PVC pergola?

The standard finished height is 98 inches and the standard width is 78 inches. Both can be changed: we quote different heights and widths on the same 5"x5" pre-routed post and 2"x6" rail system, with the post length adjusted to suit the finished height and the intended embedment.

Which colours are available?

White, Tan, Grey and Cream are standard. Colour is compounded into the PVC rather than applied as a coating, so the frame does not need repainting and cut ends match the visible faces. Specified colour matches are available for larger programmes.

How much container space does one pergola take?

Each packed section occupies 0.3 CBM. We confirm the loading quantity for a 40HQ against the exact section count, gate requirements and any mixed products on the same order, and a 40HQ container is quoted at about 7–10 days delivery.

Does the pergola come with a matching gate?

Yes. Matching gates are produced in the same profiles and colour as the pergola, and we quote the complete assembly as Section + Post + Gate so nothing is missing at installation. Gate width and swing direction are confirmed with the order.

What documentation is supplied with an order?

Orders ship with the certificate set covering SGS, CE and ISO 9001, the V-0 fire rating statement, the HS code 3925900000 for customs classification, and packing documentation. Installation video guidance is provided for crews, and the product carries a 30-year limited warranty.

Do the posts need to be set in concrete?

We recommend treating vinyl posts the same way as wood posts in your region. Where local practice is to cement wood fence posts, cement the vinyl posts as well. Embedment depth and footing size follow local ground conditions and frost depth, and we cut post lengths to match the fixing method confirmed for the site.
