How Pergola Builders Can Help You To
Individualise Your Design

• When it comes to the construction of a pergola,
  one of the most important factors for any
  homeowner is individualising the design. This
  will not only ensure that the structure is the
  perfect fit for your available space and
  complements the existing theme of your property,
  it will also add value to your home should you
  ever decide to sell.

Shaping beams and rafters

• Most homeowners dont realise that they can
  personalise their pergola by shaping the ends of
  its beams and having rafters face away from the
  home. Whilst the ends of the beams are
  traditio-nally shaped upwards and the effect can
  be seen from below, there have been a number of
  variations in recent years you could even
  develop your own! The ends could be angled,
  curved or feature a fancier design.

Different roof options

• There are a number of different roof options
  for your pergola. If you want to leave the
  structure open to the sky, opt for very few
  rafters. Doubling or even tripling the amount of
  rafters will consistently provide you with more
  shade. If you are looking to train vines and
  plants across the roof of your pergola, you will
  find that trellis or lattice is the best choice.
  This is also available in varying thicknesses for
  coverage.

Enclosing the sides

• Your pergola builder will also ask whether you
  would like any of the structures sides enclosed.
  There are actually a number of advantages to
  closing at least one side, softening the edges
  with a partial trellis or even adding small wings
  around the posts.

• Enclosing a full side with lattice and filling it
  with flowering plants will provide a fantastic
  backdrop for family gatherings. A partial wall
  will offer privacy whilst still allowing access
  from most sides. You could even opt to have the
  lattice or trellis mounted onto rollers so that
  they act as doors you can hideaway when you
  want your privacy and open the space up when you
  feel like being sociable.

• At the end of the day, it is important to
  remember that personalising the design of your
  pergola is about much more than choosing a nice
  location in your backyard and surrounding it with
  pretty plants. Your pergola builder should be
  able to provide you with a number of
  recommendations, from shaping the beams and
  rafters to different roof options and enclosing
  the sides, to ensure that your structure is
  wholly unique to your home and your requirements.
