A pergola is a structure that gives filtered shade over outdoor living spaces, walkways, or exterior entrances. Summer is on the way! As spring warms up, take the time now to consider these unusual pergola designs to have many pleasant memories under a pergola in your Maryland yard.
Pergolas with Solid Roofs
If you want a solid shelter overhead, you will need to modify your pergola so you don’t accidentally step onto a soggy outdoor carpet with bare feet. Use clear plastic panels or a retractable awning over your pergola to give solid shelter overhead.
Pergolas With Privacy
Your pergola can come with at least one privacy wall. This privacy wall could be a lattice wall, an outdoor curtain, or a solid panel. Privacy makes outdoor living spaces much more enjoyable. If your pergola needs privacy, don’t fret. There’s a way to make it happen.
Pergolas with Water and Fire
Water and fire are for entertainment, health, and comfort. A couple of unusual pergola designs are to use water features under the pergola or fire features under or beside. Place your fountain, hot tub, or fire pit below the pergola, or place a fireplace beside it so you can stay warm on chilly days.
Pergolas with Gardens
Alternatively, plants could take the spotlight in your pergola design. Train climbing plants up the pergola’s columns and over the roof slats. Place the pergola next to a garden so you can take in the sights from your sheltered outdoor living space.
Pergolas with Unusual Shapes
Pergolas don’t have to all look the same. Designer styles have arched roofs, unusual shapes (triangular, hexagonal, etc.), and even unusual roof patterns (circular or geometric open roofing.) Pergolas can also be minimalistic or bulkier, depending on the style.
Pergolas with Chandeliers
Lighting can change everything. Pergolas can have built-in lighting, light wall sconces and chandeliers. It can take on a luxury outdoor dining room or living space with the right lighting fixtures. Talk with Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence in Gambrills, MD, to find out what your pergola could be!
