Pergola side of house

Turn your outdoors into a sanctuary with these very creative pergola designs. Whether free standing or attached, these designs are a great way to improve landscape.

As clients increasingly look to create an extension of their indoor space outdoors, we’ve seen the popularity of pergolas increase dramatically. Pergolas stand out for their ability to create distinct, functional, and adaptable outdoor spaces. With open sides and slatted ceilings, pergolas offer cooling breezes, dappled shade, and a strong sense of connection to the surrounding yard.

Whether it's simple, modern or rustic, boost your outdoor area with these beautiful backyard pergola ideas. See photos ranging from small DIYs to luxury setups.

For this project we built a DIY covered pergola attached to the house to our existing deck, & covered the DIY pergola with clear corrugated plastic roofing.

The pergola has seen a big surge in popularity the past few years as outdoor living continues to be a huge trend in home improvement. Of course, the pergola has been around for a LONG time (with origins possibly dating back to Ancient Egypt!), but it’s also one that’s most often confused with other, similar structures. People often mix up pergolas with arbors, trellises, and pavilions and aren’t always sure just what a pergola is for, or what it even looks like.
