Looking for a way to frame your landscape, provide instant cooling shade and help define your space? A pergola may be the perfect it. These structures can be constructed of lumber, fiber glass, fabric or steel. They are typically comprised of a grid-like roof of beams that are supported by columns. The structure can be freestanding or attached to your home. In some cases, it may make sense to attach them to a gate or garage. The columns can be made of wooden supports, stone/masonry elements, or a combination of both. Construction techniques can be lighter than a solid roof because it does not have to carry a full snow load.
Pergolas can add many benefits to your outdoor landscape:
- Defines a seating area or outdoor kitchen.
- Provides shade during the hot summer months.
- Serves as a structure for climbing vines or flowering plants.
- Adds architectural interest to your home.
- May serves as framework to your garden or other prominent landscape features.
- Covered pergolas offer protection from the rain.
- Instantly gives an element of height to an otherwise flat landscape.
Pergolas can serve as a picture frame to set off your landscape. We’d love to share our ideas and show you how we have transformed countless outdoor living spaces with pergolas. Call us today at (970) 226-2296 to get started on planning your next landscape project.
