First, what is a pergola?
A pergola in essence is a type of gazebo that is usually open lattice or cross beams. It provides the opportunity to support flowers with vines and creates natural and beautiful shade.
Where would you add a pergola to your outdoor living space?
Generally a pergola is a feature that you would add onto your patio. Give extra shade to your walkway by adding one!
A pergola is constructed out of a variety of materials include wood, aluminum, fiberglass, vinyl and more! The type of material you choose for yours determines how much maintenance it needs. For instance, a wood pergola requires staining every couple of years to protect the wood from the outdoor elements.
Whether you intend to put an outdoor table and chairs under it or outdoor patio chairs and couch, a pergola is a great place for entertaining guests as well as relaxing on those beautiful days and evenings. It is also a beautiful addition to your home and extends your outdoor living space a little further, which is something everyone is looking for these days.
Add a gas heater and extend the use of it into the cooler season or even add lights and an outdoor fan to it. Keep in mind, whatever you add to it, needs to be able to withstand the outdoor elements.
