Continue reading to learn more about pergolas, including some of the benefits they offer when you include them in your backyard retreat.
The Benefits of Adding A Pergola
One of the most attractive benefits of a pergola is the shade they offer to your backyard retreat. There are several options for orientation, size and design that you may consider. They are also a great way to add lighting to your retreat. Hanging string lights along the pergola is a very popular, great looking way to really amp up the ambiance.
If you’re anything like me, mosquitoes and flies could find you like a needle in a haystack. Never did I think that an outdoor fan would make a difference until I sat under one this summer! Not only bugs, but making sure there is a nice breeze every day? Yes, please! A pergola is a great way to be able to add an outside fan.
Don’t forget your greens! A backyard retreat is simply incomplete without plants bringing life to your space. Climbing plants, including flowering plants, ivy, and vines look beautiful and will thrive with a pergola offering them support. You also have the option to hang planters from the slats of your pergola.
Create Boundaries for Your Outdoor Space
Creating boundaries within your backyard retreat can be easily achieved with the addition of a pergola. This covering can mark off a space dedicated to eating, drinking, and entertaining, especially when used in combination with a patio and patio seating. Additionally, pergolas offer covering for your outdoor furniture or outdoor kitchen, amping up the functionality of your space.
Pergolas are Easily Added to Any Space
Pergolas have an incredibly dramatic effect on outdoor spaces, but are not a hassle to install. Pergolas can be easily added to both brand new and existing spaces, making them a perfect choice for adding more interest and functionality to a backyard retreat. Additionally, when high quality materials are used, these structures can be easily maintained for years after their installation.
