Function influences the type of structure and its size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. what size do you need?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a pergola to be comfortable for 4-6 people, its sides should be a minimum of 300-400 cm. In larger gardens, freestanding structures with larger dimensions work better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3 Where will it be located?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay attention to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>world directions,<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>insolation,<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>airflow,<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>neighbouring buildings.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The pergola by the living room naturally enlarges the space of the house. Free-standing, it allows you to create a separate relaxation area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. What style should suit the house and garden?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wood construction lends a natural character. Aluminium fits in better with modern building blocks. The colour scheme should be consistent with the fa\u00e7ade and surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wall mounted or freestanding garden pergola - a summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no one-size-fits-all solution.<br>A wall-mounted pergola will work well around the house and in smaller spaces. A free-standing pergola gives more freedom of arrangement and works better in an extensive garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you are unsure which solution will be optimal, it is worth comparing the two options from an angle:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>available space,<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Budget,<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>use,<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>technical conditions of the plot.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Check available solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you want a finished project with measurement and installation, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.otwierane.pl\/en\/terrace-roofing\/\"><strong>check out the garden pergola service with installation<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong> See the variants available and match the pergola to your space.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wall-mounted or free-standing garden pergola - what's the difference?
