Do you find yourself looking at your garden and wishing it looked like something out of a magazine? You just stare at your neighbor’s well-manicured lawn and feel envy? And you do not know where to start? We have a perfect solution for you. Why not invest in an enchanting pergola that would brighten up any backyard? Although they date back to the Italian Renaissance, they are also very popular in these modern times. By definition, the pergola is a structure often held up with four columns and a roof made out of either wood or flowers.

Types of pergolas

There are many types of pergolas in existence today, but the two main types are gable pergola and flat pergola. With a high roof and open ends, the gable one provides a cool and light environment. A gable pergola can be made out of timber and also have false gables and Dutch gables for decorative purposes. On the other hand, a flat pergola usually has a minimum 5-degree pitch which allows the water to run off the top of the structure. This prevents water accumulation and water associated damage.

Affordability and maintenance

Both types of pergolas can be affordable as well as easy to maintain, making this the perfect investment for your garden. Rather than picking expensive materials such as brick and stone pillars, we recommend using budget-friendly materials such as wood, vinyl, and fiberglass. To ensure low maintenance and high quality, we highly advise using aluminum and CPVC. The advantage of using these materials is that they do not require yearly maintenance.

Final word

All in all, a pergola can transform your garden into a magical Renaissance inspired getaway. In no time, your backyard will become a hot spot for relaxation, not only for you but also for your friends and family.
