Pergola
A pergola is a versatile outdoor structure that typically consists of vertical posts or pillars that support crossbeams and an open lattice or rafters on top. Structure and Design: Pergolas are designed to create a defined outdoor space that offers partial shade, architectural interest, and a framework for climbing plants such as vines and creepers. They can be freestanding or attached to a building, like a house or a garden wall.
Functional Uses: Pergolas serve various functional purposes, including providing a shaded area for outdoor dining, lounging, or relaxing. They can also define pathways or entrances in a garden, creating a visual focal point or transition between different outdoor spaces.Materials: Pergolas are constructed from a variety of materials, including wood (such as cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated lumber), metal (like aluminum or steel), vinyl, or composite materials. Each material offers different aesthetic qualities, durability, and maintenance requirements.
