We were asked to install a custom built wooden pergola, at the rear of their property. We used 150×150 treated wooden posts which we concreted 3ft into the ground. The remaining timber frame was built using C24 grade 150×47 treated timber.
Pergolas provide an excellent outdoor structure to enhance a patio and seating area. We can provide various roof options polycarbonate roof sheets which is the perfect option to make your pergola waterproof and also protect you from the sun and uv rays.
A pergola is a structure that defines an outdoor space using columns or posts and an open roofing grid. The roof is usually flat or slightly pitched and does not provide complete protection from the elements, but it offers partial shade and a visually striking architectural feature. Pergolas are often used in gardens, patios, or yards to create a cozy and elegant environment.
Pergolas date back to ancient Egypt and Rome, where they were used in gardens and courtyards as shaded walkways and gathering places. In the Renaissance era, they became popular features in Italian and French garden design, often used to display climbing plants and add grandeur to estates.
