Pergola designs can vary depending on their intended placement and function, but they all serve to enhance homeowners’ lawns with a Mediterranean flair. Inspired by Italian Renaissance garden architecture, pergolas are perfect for providing partial shade outside, can be set up almost anywhere on a residential property, and can actually improve the overall value of the home. If you are looking for a shaded, yet open structure for your yard or patio, you should consider the different pergola designs and types that are available today.

At TEMO, there are three major categories that pergolas fall into:

• Garden arbor – As the name implies, this type of pergola is perfect for garden areas, with open-beam designs that allow for vines to climb across them and add more natural shade to the garden area they cover.
• Free standing – With a tighter lattice covering than arbors, free-standing pergola designs are more suited to provide partial cover to any outdoor seating area, such as a pool deck or outdoor fireplace – virtually anywhere in your yard.
• Attached – If you feel that one or more of the entrances to your home get a little too much sun, or if you want to add an attractive entryway to your front door, then a pergola that can easily fasten directly to the outside wall of your house is the ideal choice to add some shade and a classical charm to your house.

If any of these pergola designs sound interesting to you, then you can turn to TEMO to provide you with a pergola perfect for providing the right amount of shade while improving your outdoor decor. We construct our pergolas with fully extruded aluminum, which is durable and resists cracking, peeling, and rotting, making them virtually maintenance free. Also, the unique curvature of the roof latticework helps to deflect more sunlight than similar pergola designs from other companies so that you can get the most out of your shaded area. Furthermore, with TEMO you can choose from three different pillar styles reminiscent of classic Italian architecture and a color of beige or white that lend each of our pergola designs a clean, elegant look that can complement any home.
