The Benefits of Pergolas
When it comes to offering a beautiful blend of form and function, you can’t go wrong with a pergola. Here’s a closer look at seven benefits of adding one to your property:
1. Pergolas are elegant and beautiful.
Think of any backyard you’ve ever seen with a pergola. Chances are, the stately structure created a visual focal point in the space while elevating its surroundings.
Unlike many simpler outdoor structures, pergolas are sculptural and architectural in design. This means that they have the potential to transform even the most ordinary space into an extraordinary one.
2. Pergolas are a beneficial addition to your landscape design.
Pergolas are beautiful design elements in and of themselves. However, they also serve several practical functions, including providing support for climbing plants and flowers. Home gardeners and professional landscape artists alike love pergolas for their ability to nurture clematis, wisteria, and grape vines. Perhaps the only thing as beautiful as a pergola is one adorned by meandering vines and vibrant flowers!
The best part? Using a pergola to enhance your landscaping involves very little work. Just plant in the right place, tie properly, and flowers and plants will ascend on their own.
3. Pergolas can create and define spaces.
Whether you’re looking for a covered gathering space or you simply want to make a large, empty backyard feel more intimate, pergolas are a perfect way to achieve your goals. But because of their airy and open design, they won’t make a small space feel smaller. It's a win-win!
4. Pergolas provide sun and shade.
Just because pergolas have an airy, open design doesn’t mean they don’t provide shade. While there will always be places for the sun to enter, the beams can offer ample coverage while still allowing sky views.
That being said, if you’d like to introduce more shade with a pergola, you can add fabric to create an awning effect or install a lush climbing plant.
5. Pergolas are an affordable outdoor structure solution.
Compared to many outdoor structures, pergolas are relatively affordable and easy to build. Depending on your price point and goals, you can find a pergola that will have a significant impact on your yard – and not on your bank account.
With so many homeowners looking to expand the square footage of their homes, pergolas are an excellent way to accomplish this without dealing with an expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive addition.
6. Pergolas enhance your home’s curb appeal.
Pergolas improve your home’s curb appeal and make a striking statement with guests. While you may have no short-term plans to put your home on the market, a pergola can make your home more attractive to potential buyers and enhance its desirability when the time comes. The more desirable your home is, the higher the price it will collect and the faster it will sell.
7. Pergolas are durable with minimal maintenance.
We’ve already established that pergolas deliver some serious value. Even better, they do this with maximal staying power and minimal maintenance requirements.
Take vinyl pergolas, for example. Not only does this hearty material look amazing, but it also doesn’t fade, peel, chip, rot, splinter, or discolor. Nor does it require routine staining and other preventive measures!
The Many Types of Pergolas
Pergolas are available in a versatile assortment of sizes, styles, materials, and finishes. Two of the most popular types are vinyl and wood pergolas, each of which offers its own set of benefits. If you’re looking for a modern pergola or a more classic aesthetic, you’ll find that, too.
Don’t see the exact pergola you want? A custom pergola is a perfect solution. Just choose the material, style, colors, and features, and you can bring your vision to life while also creating a structure that will harmoniously integrate with its environment.
