Pergolas have been used as decorative features ever since Roman times! Adding this beautiful structural touch to your garden brings it to life, creating a unique outdoor space that you love. There are some traditional requirements to make a structure a pergola, for example having open sides- but we say who cares! As your local experts in designing and building outdoor spaces, we think you should have whatever you like- let’s be creative and build you the area you love!

What is a pergola?

A pergola is a decorative structure built from posts and beams. It is typically located over a patio or deck and creates a shaded area or walkway. It can be built as an extension to your home, but usually, the purpose is as an aesthetic focal point in your outdoor space. With a very open structure, it creates a sheltered but airy space for you to enjoy. As forward-thinking experts in our field, we believe that you should not be constrained by tradition or formalities. Our designers will help you to create a structure that truly reflects how you live. Their designs responding as flexible and creative solutions for the exact design that you love. Our highly experienced builders will then bring that to life!

What is it used for?

The benefits of having a pergola installed are vast. Not only is it a beautiful aesthetic feature that can be custom designed to suit your home there are several other practical benefits. A pergola can be used to create partitions within your outdoor space. Dividing the area into smaller sections offers great aesthetic and design benefits, enabling you to distinguish different areas for different functions. You can also use this structure as a place to grow plants upwards, using a trellis-like concept to facilitate more green growth. It will provide shade whilst enclosing an area to provide a cozy and intimate atmosphere, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxing.

The roof beam structure

Having the roof open with only beams in place provides many benefits for your outdoor space. It creates an intimate atmosphere whilst retaining the outdoor feel. It also provides an element of shade. Not substantial enough to provide a complete block of the sun, the beams offer relief from direct sunlight whilst still allowing air to circulate freely, keeping the ‘enclosed’ area fresh and airy. There are many other options that this roof structure offers you including a removable roofing panel that can be fastened over the top, removable side panels, and the option to grow plants across the top too.

Design options

There are so many choices when it comes to the design of your pergola. Your choice of materials, color, style, shape, and size, will all be incorporated into the structure to ensure it is just what you wanted. Our expert team will assist you in making these decisions providing recommendations where needed and supporting you to work out exactly what you want! All materials that we work with are of the highest quality and will be built to last!
