A pergola is a special arrangement to work as a terrace roof. It however also stands freely.

It will not be wrong if we call the pergola an open porch. It originated from Italy. If you visit Italy you will see such structures throughout the country.

The shade that the vines give when grow on the pergola has its own beauty and effect. Such shade even the lattice fashioned roofs cannot provide.

The pergolas can also be seen arranged such that they are positioned one after the other. The green climbing trees create a shade from one place to another. For this purpose any lush woody vines like grapevine or wisteria are really good choice. The walkway becomes peaceful and calm. You will love to have a walk there.

Pergola can become the centerpiece of your house if you chose it as a garden structure. It gives the sense of walking outdoor because it has no walls and roof as such. But at the same time the feeling of being inside something also remains with you as there is a structure above you.

It is now not difficult to have an outdoor space without making it actually outside. The pergola can be maintained easily and it gives an environment that is really relaxing for people who want to enjoy a backyard walk or view. This is why in Italy it is so famous.

Build the pergola walkway with stones. What a natural look your backyard will get! It will become the center of attention of anyone visiting your home. They will want to spend a minute or two at this entertaining place even if they are in hurry to leave.

The pergola might look odd to some people since the structure is very unusual. But the purpose it serves makes it so different from the common veranda and at the same time very attractive. A fee standing gazebo even looks inferior in front of it.
