5 Benefits to Having a Pergola in Your Backyard

There are always ways to improve your outdoor living space and installing a pergola is the perfect solution. A pergola is an outdoor garden feature that can transform your backyard into the relaxing outdoor living environment you have always wanted. If you have been struggling on how to spruce up your outdoor living, here are five benefits of having a pergola in your backyard.

Pergolas Provide Shade 

Does the sun beat down on your backyard? To the point where it can become unbearable to sit outside during hot summer days? Well, a pergola is the perfect solution. Our pergolas offer full shade coverage, partial coverage or both! So if you are looking to stay out of the sun’s UV rays but also want to enjoy the outdoors, a pergola is the perfect way to do so

They Create Defined Space

While pergolas may be a beautiful addition to your backyard, they also provide a defined space. You are able to create a place for entertaining, lounging and dining to enjoy with friends and family. This can be extremely beneficial especially if you do not have a deck or a patio. A pergola is the perfect solution if you are looking for a definite space in your backyard. 

They Allow Privacy 

If you are looking for privacy from your neighbors when you are trying to enjoy a beautiful day or relax after a long day of work, a pergola gives you the opportunity to do so. While it is an open structure, you can create privacy by adding drapes, screens, or latticework to one or more sides of the pergola. This way you can have as much or as little privacy as you’d like, in addition to your backyard fence.

They Create More Space For Plants

Pergolas provide the perfect opportunity to extend your garden. There are so many ways that you can brighten a pergola just by adding plants. By hanging plants from the boards, you have yourself a beautiful garden in the clouds. A pergola is also a perfect place for climbing plants as they will grow from the ground and intertwine within the structure. These are great ways that can give your backyard and your pergola a pop of color! 

Pergolas Can Increase Home Value

A pergola does not just add value to your backyard but also to the home itself. Having attractive structures and landscaping is an investment in the value of your homeWhile you may not be thinking of selling your home now, there may be a time when you do. So the best thing to do is add a pergola to your yard in order to enjoy the benefits now and later.
