What A Pergola Can Do For Your Home
Patios Quotes
from local patio builders
Why install a pergola? These outdoor structures are so much more than a humbler alternative to the patio and they’ve evolved substantially since the days of traditional Victorian wrought-iron. They’re remarkably versatile in design, allow plenty of room of creativity and can be adapted to a range of budgets. They unlock the potential of your backyard or garden and can be the first step to creating your ideal home entertaining package. Need more convincing?
1. Enhance the livability of your home
Of course, pergolas offer a cosiness often missing in outdoor spaces - they’re the perfect place for a relaxing peruse of your favourite book or magazine or for enjoying your preferred summer beverage. But they also visually transform your home, altering the lines of sight around your property and providing ample opportunity for highlighting the colours and stylised window frames, doorways, gutters and external surfaces of your home. As a focal point in the garden, they can complement flower beds, pathways, lighting features and much more. They’re the perfect place for dining alfresco on a hot summer evening or for stringing up some fairylights for a party or BBQ.
2. Enhance the value of your property
Adding a pergola to your home means valuable expansion of floor space. Very much in current fashion, pergolas can help differentiate your property from those which offer only undeveloped yards. When constructed in perfect harmony with the house, shed and any other outdoor structures, a well-placed pergola adds much more to the aesthetic of your home than you may expect. What’s more, the Australian market has always been defined by a strong public interest in outdoor living and homes which offer higher levels of comfort outdoors, and especially opportunities for outdoor entertaining, consistently fetch higher prices. A pergola suggests further backyard renovation and a vision of family life which appeals to the average Australian homeowner.
3. Enhance the potential of your garden
Pergolas also provide a very practical benefit to your backyard - they can be very effectively used to grow vines and creepers and to provide shade for flowerbeds and vegetable gardens. Plants are actually a great way to disguise unsightly joints in a pergola or neighbouring wall structure. Covering your pergola with a carefully maintained vine system will provide both a lovely ambiance and a cooler atmosphere for your living space. The structure of the pergola will allow avid gardeners to pursue species otherwise unsuitable for your garden, such as a climbing hydrangea. Flowering vines often require less work than you might expect.
