How to choose the right pergola?

The pergola is a pleasant addition to give an atmosphere full of charm and charm to any garden. However, choosing the right pergola is an important decision, to be taken with awareness. There are in fact numerous elements to consider.

The first, and most important, is the use you want to make of it.
Do you like organizing outdoor dinners with friends? The solution is a large structure, perhaps made to measure, which allows your guests to sit comfortably around a table.
Do you need a corner for cooking on the barbecue or for grilling? Choose a smaller size pergola but with organized spaces with everything you need close at hand.
Do you need a private space to give your guests some privacy or simply relax after a swim in the pool? The solution is a medium-sized structure with comfortable sun loungers and equipped with elegant curtains on the external sides.
Do you have a green thumb and are you looking for a pleasant solution to store tools and garden products? Choose a small structure, able to integrate harmoniously with the vegetation.

The second aspect to consider is where to place it.
Carefully evaluate how much outdoor space you have available and its characteristics in terms of the path of the sun throughout the day, the distribution of tall trees and the shading conditions of the various points of the garden, the height of the surrounding houses. Considerations of this type will help you to orient yourself towards a self-supporting pergola rather than a Wall-Mounted pergola, to consider a symmetrical or asymmetrical, circular or square shape to create a coordinated ensemble with the surrounding environment and vegetation.

After the practical considerations, let’s not forget that in choosing the right pergola an element of considerable importance is also the aesthetic enhancement of the garden. The design possibilities of the structure, materials and solutions for the external sides and for the cover are endless. You could leave the sides completely open, equip them with PVC closures to enjoy the pergola even in the winter months, or opt for curtains and fine fabrics that guarantee shading in the warmer months.
