Pergolas and Miscellaneous Items
 A
pergola is a garden feature forming a shaded walk or passageway of pillars that
support cross beams and a sturdy open lattice, upon which woody vines are
trained. As a type of gazebo, it may also be part of a building, as protection
for an open terrace. The origin of the word is the Late Latin pergola, referring
to a projecting eave.
Pergolas may link pavilions, may extend from
a building's door to an open garden feature such as an isolated terrace or pool,
or may be entirely free-standing structures providing shelter and shade to a
length of walkway.
 Modern
pergola designs tend to favor wood over stone structures, and are thus more
affordable and increasing in popularity. Generally, pergolas are either made
from a weather-resistant wood, such as Red Cedar or Redwood, or are painted
white. In recent years a variety of materials have been utilized to create
pergolas. We offer very low maintenance fiberglass pergolas as well as Treated
Pine and other naturally hardy woods.
Our latest creation “the pergola porch” is a
combination of one of our pergolas and our patented Undercover Systems under
deck roof system. This makes for a dry porch with the elegant style of a
pergola. We also offer insect netting for a true screen porch experience.
