Pergolas are a great addition to your backyard for many reasons here are a few we have come up with.

• Pergolas give your yard a touch of romance by creating shaded seating areas, gardening areas, or walkways.
• They help you create the feeling of an extra room or a hidden get-away.
• They also add visual interest. This is especially helpful for your landscaping during the winter, when there’s typically just not that much to see in anybody’s yard. But even during the summer they help draw eyes upward, adding visual appeal and depth to your landscaping.
• Pergolas have gardening uses too. You can use them to provide shade for plants that love shade, especially if your garden doesn’t have many trees. You can also use them as support structure for flowering plants and vines.
• You can use them to dress up patio entrances.
• You can create outdoor eating areas or living areas.
• Some people use the structure to add outdoor lighting for night time entertainment. You can use this wiring for other entertainment options too, like stereos or big screen televisions.
• A pergola provides as much fun as a deck, but is more unique.
• They create a little hidden meditation garden or relaxation spot in the middle of your yard by using a strategically placed pergola. You could add a backyard swing to a pergola to enhance your relaxation.
• You can place your own furniture under a pergola, or you can have features like benches and tables built right into them.
