Practical and Beautiful Garden Pergola Structures
One of the most functional and versatile home structures is the garden pergola. Pergolas are not just pretty frames that provide a backing for plants, flowers, and other hanging decorations but they also provide shelter, beauty and can act as connections between your home and other backyard living spaces.
Common to all garden pergola designs is the interlaced pattern of the roof. This pattern provides partial shade to whatever is under the pergola and additional shelter can be obtained by adding a weatherproof canopy or other fabric covering to the pergola structure. Pergola roofs and sides are typically created from a variety of slants and shapes and the entire pergola can be attached to another building or a freestanding over a patio, deck or other backyard or garden area.
Vinyl and wood are popular materials used to making of garden pergolas but a smart and attractive choice is aluminum. Aluminum pergolas are very low maintenance because they are inherently resistant to insects, moisture damage, and cracks. Most modern aluminum materials are also rust-resistant because they contain a weatherproof coating. Aluminum can easily be made to look like grained wood or can be painted to match existing buildings on a property as well.
Outdoor pergola designs vary greatly, from small, decorative pieces to large areas that are perfect for outdoor entertainment. Some companies can customize a garden pergola to your exact specifications or you can find cheaper ready made kits. In fact, most pergolas are marketed as kits because even a novice builder can set it up.

Pergolas can complement and enhance any type of outdoor living area. You can use them as garden archways or to create areas for your family to gather, entertain, or simply to kick back and relax. Pergolas can add visual appeal and function outside of your home without a hefty financial, time or labor investment. If you are contemplating an outdoor living home improvement project, you should definitely consider a new pergola.
