Made in the UKYou like pagoda and I like pergola
Did you think a pergola was just a few lengths of wood covered in vines just like your Grandad had in his back yard? Or did you know the full extent and benefits of having a stunning structure extending from your home into your garden?
Pergolas are extremely adaptable in size and budget and this results in many options and possibilities. They are a wonderful way to increase your time spent outside.

So if you enjoy outdoor dining, a get together with friends and family in the not too distant future, or just want a cosy little shielded spot to sit and read a book (away from nosy neighbours!), then a stylish pergola has so much to offer. And can you think of a better way to enjoy the outdoors without actually having to leave your home? Sounds perfect!

Pergolas are very versatile, so if you are in desperate need of some shade in your melting hot south facing garden, a covered pergola will provide a safe haven, and when the rain comes... which inevitably it will! then it will provide great shelter too. If however, you just want a space made to look more inviting and frame your furniture, then an attractively decorated pergola will filter light and be a great focal point to beckon you out on a warm summer day. Pretty pergolas covered in vines and surrounded by elegant potted plants and flowers can look dreamy and romantic, and who knows, you may even get some pergola wedding ideas!

Your imagination could transport you to faraway places with a superb garden transformation. Just picture yourself stretched out on a comfy sun lounger underneath the rafters, lost in a gritty new novel, curtains rustling gently adding a degree of privacy to your outside space, and hopefully with a cocktail not too far away! Can you see yourself swinging in a comfortable chair or hammock while the kids have fun playing in the garden? Or perhaps the thought of sitting with family around a table, chatting and laughing and enjoying al fresco dining - a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner or possibly all three!

Pergolas would definitely encourage you outside to experience more days in the garden, whether that be relaxing, socialising with friends, pottering around or simply stepping outside the house to breathe in the fresh air now and again. So whenever you get the chance you could choose to reap the benefits of being outdoors rather than spending your valuable time indoors. Night-times should not be forgotten either; fairy lights entwined around posts and beams create a calm ambience when twinkling therapeutically on a warm evening.

Wooden pergolas are an affordable way to get creative and construct on a dowdy decking or plain patio area and would allow you the opportunity to create an outdoor room. If you are making plans, building a small wooden pergola, already have a large stained pergola requiring some tender loving care or still searching for DIY ideas on a simple pergola design, it’s important to bear in mind that they deserve an impressive finishing touch. Most paints are not adequate enough to endure the outside elements and keep your pergola looking fabulous year after year.
