Pergola Ideas

Pergola with Seating Area

More substantial than an arbor but less confining than a gazebo, a pergola may be as simple as an overhead structure attached to the back of your house to cover a deck. Or it might be a grand, freestanding structure that's the main focal point of a yard.

Pergolas are especially effective over paved areas, such as paths, courtyards, and patios. This simple white structure helps designate a casual seating area punctuated by colorful plantings.
