Terrace pergolas are functional canopies that increase the comfort of the terrace and give it an aesthetically pleasing appearance. On the blog, you will find advice on how to choose the right model of pergola, what materials are available and when it is worth opting for self-assembly or a professional service.

What are patio pergolas and why are they worth having?
