What is a pergola?

A pergola is a structure supported by columns on the side, with lattices or beams along the top
linking the columns. It may have a roof or be open at the top.
A pergola may be designed to enable climbing plants to intertwine themselves along it and for
hanging baskets to be dangled displayed. By adding a pergola and choosing some fantastic plants to
go along with it, you’ll be greening up your garden and adding the type of beauty that only plant life can provide.

Protection from the weather

A pergola gives shade protection from the harshness of an Australian summer.
Once the climbing plants have covered the pergola, the shade provided when you’re sitting
underneath the structure is perfect to protect you from the sun’s rays. As a pergola is not completely
closed off like a regular room means it has that outdoors feel without succumbing to the elements.
If the plants are dense enough, even an unroofed pergola can protect you from the rain!

Block out ugly views

Sometimes backyards can be perfectly beautiful if not for an ugly structure ruining the view for you
and the people who visit your house. Whether it’s an ugly shed at the next door neighbour’s house or
a dying tree, a pergola can be strategically placed to block out unsightly views and focus the
attention on the views that contribute to a sense of beauty in your backyard.

Combine with other structures

One of the ways to get the most out of a pergola is to use it as a lead-in to other structures, such as
gazebos or verandas . Imagine someone entering your yard and discovering a leafy path marked by a
pergola which results in a large, inviting veranda. Or perhaps the pergola could lead from your back
door towards a solitary gazebo to create an attractive outdoor living area. Whatever the choice, a
pergola doesn’t have to exist on its own; sometimes it works best in sync with other backyard designs.

Add value to your home

Finally, adding a pergola is bound to lend extra value to your property. It can add interest to an otherwise boring landscape, it provides a space for plants that literally breathe life into the area, it adds shade and an extra layer of protection from the rain, it can help screen out unsightly views and it can even double as a remarkable outdoor living space. All these factors combine to add significant value to your home and make it a more attractive prospect when it comes time to sell.
