Do you dream of expanding the charm of the garden with a pergola? It is a perfect place to eat, relax and enjoy the summer's bright days. But what is a pergola and what do you need to think about when building one?
What is a pergola?
Pergola, from the Italian word for pillar or leaf room, is a versatile structure that can be adapted to different needs. It can be a place for social interaction, eating and cozy. With climbing plants that wind around it gives not only shade but also a lush green impression. You can also choose to cover it with a cloth to protect against weather and wind.
Choosing the right material
When choosing materials for your pergola, it is important to think long term. Pressure -impregnated wood is a good alternative as it requires less maintenance. It is also important that the wood can carry the weight of any roof or snow, especially if you plan to cover it with climbing plants.
Location of pergola
The pergola can be placed in different ways in the garden. It can create a cozy nook or extend the space of the house. If you want to maximize the sun, a south facing position is preferred.
Building a pergola with ground screw makes the process smoother and more efficient than with traditional foundation. With soil screws you avoid heavy preliminary work such as excavation and casting of concrete terminals, which saves both time and work. Now you can quickly and easily create your dream pergola and enjoy the garden life to the fullest.
