Why Choose a Pergola for Your Backyard?
A custom pergola is more than just an outdoor structure—it enhances your backyard’s look and feel. Whether you want a shaded retreat or a stylish focal point, a pergola offers lasting benefits that make your outdoor space more enjoyable.
- Shade and Comfort: A pergola provides relief from direct sunlight while still allowing airflow, making your patio more comfortable year-round. Add climbing plants or retractable canopies for extra shade.
- Increased Home Value: A well-designed pergola boosts curb appeal and adds to your home’s resale value.
- Versatile Outdoor Living: Use your pergola to create an outdoor dining area, a cozy lounge space, or a place to entertain guests. It extends your living space and makes backyard gatherings more enjoyable.
- Customizable Design: Choose from wood, aluminum, vinyl, or metal pergolas to match your home’s style.
- Durability and Low Maintenance: Modern, louvered roof pergolas are built to withstand the elements with minimal upkeep. Materials like aluminum and composite require little maintenance, while treated wood offers a classic look with proper care.
Traditional Pergolas
A traditional pergola adds timeless beauty to any backyard, creating a cozy and inviting outdoor space. With classic wooden designs, these pergolas offer charm.
- Classic Wooden Construction: Built from cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated lumber, traditional pergolas bring a warm, natural look to your outdoor space. Wood can be stained or painted to match your home’s style.
- Natural Shade and Comfort: Wooden pergolas provide partial shade, reducing glare and heat while allowing airflow. Pair with climbing vines or a fabric canopy for added sun protection.
- Customizable Sizes and Styles: Whether you want a freestanding pergola over a garden or an attached structure on your patio, traditional designs offer endless possibilities. Choose from square, rectangular, or arched designs to complement your home.
- Affordable and Versatile: Wood is often a cost-effective pergola material, making it a popular choice for homeowners. Its versatility allows for unique details like decorative end cuts and custom post designs.
- Routine Maintenance for Longevity: While wood can be cost-effective, it will need regular sealing or staining to protect it from weathering, moisture, and insects. With proper care, a traditional pergola can last for decades while maintaining its beauty.
StruXure Pergolas
StruXure pergolas take outdoor living to the next level with motorized louvered roofs that adapt to your needs. These advanced pergolas offer flexibility, durability, and modern convenience for homeowners who want more than just a fixed structure.
- Motorized Louvered Roof: Adjustable louvers open and close with the touch of a button, allowing you to control sunlight, shade, and ventilation. Enjoy full sun, partial shade, or complete rain protection whenever needed.
- Built for All Weather Conditions: StruXure pergolas are engineered to handle wind, rain, and snow with durable aluminum construction. Integrated gutter systems direct water away, keeping your space dry.
- Smart Home Integration: Sync your pergola with home automation systems for voice-activated or app-controlled adjustments. Some models even include rain sensors that close the louvers automatically.
- Sleek, Modern Aesthetic: StruXure pergolas complement contemporary outdoor spaces with clean lines and high-end finishes. Choose from various colors, column styles, and lighting options for a customized look.
- Low-Maintenance and Long-Lasting: Unlike wood, aluminum pergolas resist rust, rot, and fading without staining or sealing. Simply rinse with water to keep it looking new.
Pergola Design Ideas
A pergola should complement your home and lifestyle. There are plenty of ways to customize your pergola.
- Integrated Lighting: Add recessed lights, string lights, or LED strips to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Lighting extends the use of your pergola into the evening for dining, entertaining, or relaxing.
- Outdoor Curtains and Privacy Screens: Soft fabric curtains or wooden slat screens add privacy and shade while enhancing the pergola’s look. These elements also help block wind and create a more intimate setting.
- Built-In Seating and Planters: Incorporate benches, swings, or flower boxes for a seamless, functional design. This creates a natural flow between your pergola and the surrounding landscape.
- Outdoor Kitchen and Dining: Pair your pergola with a grill station, bar, or full outdoor kitchen for the ultimate entertainment space. A pergola provides shade while defining a designated cooking and dining area.
- Fire Features and Heating: Add a fire pit, gas fireplace, or outdoor heaters to keep your pergola comfortable year-round. These features enhance both warmth and ambiance for cool evenings.
