Custom Pergolas
Burlington & Oakville

What Is a Pergola?

Pergolas are structures with pillars or posts that support cross beams and an open lattice, which forms a shaded sitting area, passageway, or walkway. They are a great piece to integrate into a deck or backyard plan but are not designed to completely block the sun. Instead, they provide relief and ventilation from direct sunlight as they allow air to circulate freely.

Custom-built pergolas are especially popular during the summer time as they provide a place for vines and greens to grow, which provides a natural shade source for homeowners. Homeowners can also choose to integrate shades into the structure to provide complete shade from the sun and look great as a structure with landscaping around them.

Where Can I Put a Pergola?

Pergolas are great structures to add to a backyard and can be placed almost anywhere. The most popular locations include outdoor dining areas, by an outdoor fireplace, over a hot tub, or by the side of the pool. Pergolas can also be placed in a passageway to provide a stunning entrance into your garden, backyard, or yard.

What Is the Difference between a Pergola and a Gazebo?

The largest difference between a pergola and a gazebo is in its visual structure. While pergolas are more square or rectangular in shape, gazebos are usually round or octagonal. Gazebos also have a roof, while pergolas feature cross beams that allow sunshine to come through.
