Pergolas can be attractive additions to many different types of homes. Their simple, classical Italian style is versatile enough to complement nearly any property, from lavish Victorian homes to simpler ranch-style houses and more, enhancing architectural dimension to evoke a sense of openness while allowing for partial shade from the sun. As an added bonus, such improvements on the natural outdoor beauty of homeowners’ properties can also improve their overall values, so many people looking to sell their homes think about pergolas for increasing the sale prices of their houses.
Homeowners can use pergolas for pleasant, open-air shade in almost any area, such as:
- Vegetable gardens – Arbor-style pergolas can be used not only to shade delicate food plants like salad greens, herbs, and root vegetables, but also to provide vine plants, such as grapes and beans, a visually attractive place to grow and climb.
- Entryways and pathways between buildings – Whether you want to provide an inviting entrance at your front door or a shaded walkway to a nearby detached garage, shed, or guest house, you can add elegance to your home with pergolas that attach directly to your buildings.
- Outdoor fireplaces – If you like to enjoy your yard during the winter, you might consider covering an outdoor seating area that has a fireplace with a pergola to provide some coverage while still allowing any smoke from the fire plenty of room to rise and dissipate through the gaps in the latticework.
- And more
