Introduction

A pergola is a type of garden structure that is constructed over an outdoor sitting area or walkway. They are usually made from vertical pillars, horizontal cross beams and a lattice roof (that is either left open or closed, although some pergolas are convertible).

History

The word pergola comes from the Latin word pergula, which translates as projecting eave.

Masonry pergolas were popular during the Italian Renaissance. The idea was adopted by English landscape designers who brought them to England and introduced them into the gardens of their clients.

Pergolas lost some of their artificial appeal in the 18th and 19th centuries, which was when it became popular to elevate the untamed aspects of nature. They regained favour in the 19th and 20th centuries through the landscape design of Sir Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll.

An open (or roofless) pergola is generally used for decorative purposes. Closed (or roofed) pergolas can be decorative as well, but they can also be used as protection from the elements (such as shading from the sun or shielding from the rain).

Both structures are sometimes used to support vines, roses or other types of climbing flowers or foliage. Pergolas can be made from wood, plastic, steel, stone or a combination of materials and can be built onto another structure or left freestanding.

Pergolas and arbors are similar, although arbors traditionally feature colonnades of vertical support columns. Pergolas can be open on the sides.

Pergolas are also similar to gazebos, although gazebos traditionally feature a closed roof. The roof of a pergola can be open, closed or convertible.
