You want to get more out of your garden: a place where you can lounge, a sheltered dining area, or simply a pleasant way to create some extra shade on sunny days. A pergola might be exactly what you're looking for. With a pergola, you can give a seating area that little bit extra: from a cozy canopy with climbing plants to a stylish space where you can enjoy a glass of wine with friends in the evening. In this blog, you'll discover why a pergola is not only practical but also adds a lot of atmosphere and personality to your garden. Besides "Pergola," they are also called garden arches and arbors.
1 What exactly is a pergola?
A pergola is essentially a structure of uprights (vertical posts) with horizontal beams on top, which together form a kind of open "roof". You can place it in your garden as a canopy for a terrace, as a passage to another part of the garden, or even against your facade, creating a semi-open, covered seating area. The great thing is: you can completely customize a pergola to your taste, with thick wooden beams for a robust look or slender metal posts if you prefer a sleek, modern style. In all cases, a pergola offers the ideal base to create shade and atmosphere, without your garden feeling completely enclosed. If you want an enclosed space, choose a party tent.
