Pergola Design
Pergolas enhance the looks of your house
The modern pergola designs offer you an outdoor airy room with no walls and just cross rafters. Whether you want to relax, dine, or drink, you can make good use of the pergolas. You can have some really good time with your friends and family there. Arbors are also quite popular but they are not as big as the pergolas. Pergolas plans are usually made to create structures that are freestanding. However, in some cases you will also find them attached to the buildings or the houses. If you want the climbing vines or you need some more shade, you can also add some lattice to it. If you are constructing it to be freestanding then there is one more benefit. You don’t need to create any complex designs to connect the roof of the house and the pergola. This saves you money.
Designing Pergolas
Designing pergola roofs is easy. You can use timber for this purpose. The roof design primarily depends upon the amount of shade you want. As already mentioned, timber can be combined with lattice to add more shade to the structure.
Pergolas are visually pretty interesting. Especially if you get the floral and scented vines curling around and climbing up the pergolas, they look all the more beautiful. There are many other ways to style up your pergola. For instance, you can get the hanging planters as well. Buy an all-season fabric drape to cover the pergola from all sides for even more beautiful looks.
Pergola helps you optimize your outdoor space. In the garden or yard you will definitely want to brick and mortar construction as it will steal the greenery away. However, if there is something which complements really well with the garden and provides air and light, there is nothing better than it. Pergola is exactly meant for this purpose.
If you have a pergola on the patio looking over the Koi pod in the garden, there is nothing better than that. Pergola also works well if you intend to use artificial grass over natural grass for landscaping. As pergola is often used as an outdoor airy room for social gathering, and kids might be running around nearby, artificial grass always provide a level ground with no bumps and unequal land as well as provide a non-abrasive surface for kids to play on.
