Garden Pergolas

A pergola adds a wonderful feature to your garden. It provides shade over paved areas and a place for vines to cling to and grow, creating an archway bursting with nature. However you decide to use it, your pergola will bring style and character to your outdoor space all year round.

Providing shade while allowing you to enjoy the breeze, a pergola is the perfect way to allow you to relax in your garden in comfort on long summer evenings. And if you have a green thumb or want to make a statement, you can use the pergola as a trellis. Plants like honeysuckle and ivy are able to grow over the entire structure, giving you a beautiful feature for your garden.

What Are the Benefits of Having a Pergola?

With the roof of the structure being open slats, you might think that a pergola would not be an effective addition to the furniture in your garden. But its uses are many and varied, and it acts as a compliment to your existing garden style.

With the right pergola, you can bring more life into your garden and add a focal point for social or family gatherings. Let's look at the advantages of pergolas in more detail.

• Shade and sun protection – There is no better way to enjoy all the benefits of a hot summer's day while sitting outside in your garden. The slats provide shade, enhanced further if you have vines growing on the beams, and the arch-like structure funnels the breeze.
• Define garden areas – By giving your garden a focal area you help to denote zones where people will naturally gravitate toward. The pergola can be used to define outdoor seating areas or even an outdoor kitchen.
• Plant support – Enhance the look of the pergola and your garden in general by allowing plants to use the beams as a home. The natural shade provided by plants will help greatly in the summer as well. You can use the pergola to grow vines such as wisteria, grapevine, or roses.
• Entertaining outdoors – Provide a sheltered area for entertaining guests. Pergolas act as a perfect shelter for barbeques and other social gatherings. You can set up outdoor furniture or a dining table under the structure to make the space more welcoming.
• Increased privacy – As well as plants, you could add curtains, drapes, or lattice panels to further enhance the privacy of the pergola. Create a sense of seclusion and a respite from the hectic world outside

As you can see from the list of benefits above, pergola structures can beautifully enhance your garden’s landscape. Expertly designed to balance the perfect fusion of sunlight and shade, our pergolas make a gorgeous addition to any lawn, patio, or decking area.
