Patio pergolas - inspiration, advice and installation
Patio pergolas are canopy structures installed next to the house or as freestanding garden features. In this category you will find inspiration, material comparisons and practical tips to help you choose the right pergola for your particular space.
A pergola increases the comfort of the terrace, provides shade on hot days and shelter from the rain. A suitably chosen structure can become a natural extension of the living room and bring order to the space around the house.
What are patio pergolas and why are they worth having?
Terrace pergolas are canopies installed at the building façade or as free-standing structures in the garden. Their function is to:
- provision of shade
- protection against precipitation
- creation of a comfortable rest area
- cleaning up the terrace area
A well-chosen pergola affects not only the comfort, but also the aesthetics of the entire home area.
