Stylish Retreats: Designing with Modern Pergolas

Modern pergola can beautify your front yard and provide you with a nice shady place in the garden to relax and enjoy the outdoors. If it is thoughtfully planned it will enhance your outdoor area. There are large numbers of pergola designs that you can use,  depending on what you are going to use the pergola.

The Modern Pergola: The Modern pergola is minimalist in design offering a privacy screen which separates the view from the neighbour’s backyard beside shade to be outdoors during the day. It also offers a well-designed seating arrangement to sit with family and friends when opportunity arises and the weather is pleasant.

It also provides additional shaded places in the outdoors for lunch, dinner or for reading a book. It adds an aesthetic appeal to the entrance to the house. They are made from wood as well as perforated sheets that throw an attractive pattern of light and dark shadows across the deck.

Benefits of a Pergola: A Pergola has a lot of benefits, the first being the aesthetic appeal it adds to the houses well as the garden. You  can build pergolas of steel or timber depending on your preference. Timber is the best option if you want something with more design. If you are based close to the sea, timber will be good to last longer than steel.

Timber has a rustic look which will add character to your yard. It is also strong to support and hold solar panels if you want to soar panels for heating. You can adjust the orientation of the rafters and spacing to let the sun and shade into the space

How can Pergola enhance your Garden: Pergola is a free standing structure made of timber   and presently of steel. It adds visual appeal if you have attractive flowering vines climbing on it. You can make it more attractive by hanging planters and other plants from the rafters.

You can also add all weather fabric from one vertical post to the other  to provide protection from the elements. It also maximises the outdoor space when you can install furniture and relax. This also provides shelter and wind break from the rain.
