Pergolas are a structure typically made up of an open lattice, grid, or similar patterned roof, supported by sturdy columns in all four corners. Made for the outdoors, they can be attached to your home or freestanding in your yard. Sometimes they are used over a patio space, or smaller versions in a garden for plants that thrive when they can climb or over a beautiful walkway for some added shade and flair!
Let’s take a look at why this feature may just be your perfect pick.
Aesthetically supportive backyard centerpieces, like pergolas, allow you to enjoy the outdoors comfortably while serving practical purposes like providing partial shade, holding outdoor decor, and even encouraging your green thumb! They have the ability to enhance and transform your yard from a typical outdoor space into a charming oasis of relaxation, style, and fun. Due to their open structures, they allow for shade and social space without making your yard feel cramped.
Here are a few of our options that we offer at Chesterfield Fence & Deck:
Our wooden pergolas are crafted from high-quality cedar, providing a stunning natural finish to complement your existing deck or patio. The timeless beauty of wood adds warmth and character to your outdoor space. We customize each design to fit your specific preferences, ensuring that your latest addition enhances your home’s aesthetic and serves as a durable outdoor feature for years to come.
Experience the next generation of outdoor living with our smart pergolas. These advanced structures combine classic design with cutting-edge technology. Equipped with a louvered roofing system, they can sense weather changes and adjust accordingly. Imagine being able to control the louvers with ease—open it wider for more sunlight or close it for shade—all without having to leave your lounge chair. Talk about luxury!
You are likely starting to get the idea that there are many purposes for these backyard features. However, the most important piece is what’s important to you! The versatility is a huge bonus, so let’s take a moment to explore all its benefits and which parts align most with your vision for your outdoor space.
First, they are appealing pieces to have on a property. Not only do they look good, but they increase your property value. Buyers are willing to pay a higher price for a house when something like these features are included in the package, as they also extend living space and provide opportunities for entertaining and comfort in the outdoors.
They also provide privacy. Their structure alone provides a degree of privacy, with the option of adding screens or curtains for extra comfort and style. After all, they are a statement piece as much as they are practical. Your perfect match should reflect both your personal style as well as complement the architecture of your home.
In addition to giving you some shade, with enhancements or specific roof and structural choices, a pergola can grant you shelter from not-so-sunny days when you need it. That way your enjoyment of your yard isn’t cut off by inclement weather! Plus, if you have any of your climbing plants creeping up the structure, they will be getting a thorough watering, so that’s one less thing you have to do.
Whether you want to bask in the warmth of a sunny afternoon or create the ultimate cozy spot for gatherings, our pergolas will be the perfect addition to your home.
At Chesterfield Fence & Deck, we specialize in both traditional and modern versions of pergolas tailored to meet your style and functional needs. Our team serves the Chesterfield and St. Louis, Missouri, metro area, offering unparalleled craftsmanship and customer service.
