Pergolas
If you like the open feel of your deck, but also want a semi-enclosed area, adding a pergola to your deck or patio might be for you. Pergolas allow for some protection from the sun on the deck or patio below, and also create a partially enclosed area that can be used as a sitting or entertaining area.
Pergolas can help define a patio or deck space into an outdoor seating area. The open structure allows for ventilation if grilling is a favorite summertime activity, and also for summertime breezes to pass through. Pergolas serve as a major landscaping element. They add grace, art, and elegance to any home. Its architecture can accentuate features of your home, or be a focal point of a garden or yard. You can opt to leave it open, or perhaps allow for creepers such as climbing roses eventually providing a natural barrier to sun and rain.
Increase your living space with a pergola to create an outdoor custom shade room while still giving that feeling of being outside.
