What Is A Pergola?

A pergola is a garden feature that consists of vertical posts or columns that support beams or sturdy open lattice. Pergolas are most commonly used to build deck extensions, shaded walkways, walkways or sitting areas. Pergolas can be freestanding or attached to the house and can be made from a variety of materials including aluminum extrusions, wood, vinyl and metal.

Pergolas have many benefits, including

SHADE: Pergolas provide shade from the sun and are a great place to relax in the hot sun.

AESTHETICS: Pergolas can add beauty and elegance to your yard.

PRIVACY: A pergola can protect your privacy from neighbors.

SUPPORT CLIMBING PLANTS: A pergola is a great place to grow climbing plants such as vines and roses.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE: A pergola can be used to create an outdoor living space complete with furniture and a grill.

There are many types of pergolas, but the most common are listed below:

Freestanding Pergolas: Freestanding pergolas are not attached to the house. They can be placed anywhere in the yard and are perfect for creating a focal point.

Attached Pergolas: Attached pergolas are attached to the house. They are a great way to extend your outdoor living space.

Garden Pergola: Garden pergolas are usually smaller and more elaborate than other types of pergolas. They are the perfect decoration for a small garden or patio.

Built-in Pergola: Built directly on two walls of the house without the support of columns, similar to the skylight of a house, they make the house brighter and make it more beautiful and practical.

Vine Pergola: Vine pergolas are designed to support climbing plants. They are usually made of wood or metal and feature a lattice or open grid design.
