Pergola structures are light and hollow, formed by supports, pillars and beams, which may or may not be covered. These structures are generally built with conventional materials such as wood, concrete or steel, although due to the typology of the structure there is one of the possibilities of using non-conventional materials such as bamboo, cardboard tubes etc. Therefore, the objective of this work is to propose the use of cardboard tubes for the construction of pergolas in public squares, promoting more sustainable constructions and serving as a practical measure for the environmental awareness of the population. For this, a study of the site was made for the implementation of a pilot project and all the development of the project was done with the help of computational tools AutoCAD, SketchUp and Lumion. The results shows the design of the pergola with all the constructive elements, dimensions of the cardboard tubes, as well as an economic feasibility analysis, in comparison with the construction of the pergola with cardboard tubes and the construction with a conventional material. As this study can be concluded, cardboard tubes have satisfactory properties of durability and resistance for the construction of pergolas, in addition to presenting technical, environmental and economic feasibility
