Charred Timber Pergolas
Charred timber pergolas combine traditional craftsmanship with striking contemporary garden design. Created using the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique, the timber is carefully charred to produce a deep black finish that enhances the natural grain while improving durability and weather resistance. The result is a distinctive burnt wood surface that is both beautiful and highly resilient in outdoor environments.
Designed to define outdoor living spaces, our charred timber pergolas create elegant structures for seating areas, dining terraces and garden walkways. The strong architectural lines of the pergola contrast beautifully with planting, stone and natural landscapes, making them ideal for modern gardens across the UK and Ireland.
At Rust & Roast, our burnt timber pergolas are crafted from quality structural timber and finished using traditional charring methods to create a unique and long-lasting outdoor feature that brings warmth, texture and character to your garden.

Charred timber, also known as Shou Sugi Ban, is a traditional Japanese technique where the surface of wood is lightly burned to improve durability. This creates a natural protective layer that helps the timber resist moisture, insects and weathering. The result is a deep charcoal finish with subtle texture and grain.
Used in modern garden design, charred timber pergolas combine natural materials with strong architectural form. They work beautifully in contemporary landscapes, providing light shelter while framing outdoor seating areas, terraces or walkways.
