Function, size, shape and location of pergolas underestimate
 

When choosing, consider the pergola in advance for what purpose you take it. It can be placed as a continuation of the cottage or house, for example at the entrance to the house or a wall connection, but also as a front garden at restaurants, and others. Also it can be constructed as separate structures. Always we get comfortable seating.
 
Pergola can connect to the kitchen or living room, making it easy to serve food and drinks to wear. Pergola is a need to collect so as to disturb the character of the house and its surroundings. Pergola can also fulfill an aesthetic function.
 
Linked to this is the size of the pergola. Otherwise, we need a large pergola in the villa area, otherwise a great turn in the garden cottage in a cottage-colony. The pergola can be built garden furniture or even a fireplace. Shape are not limited. You can choose from a wide variety of shapes from classic over many square brackets.
 

What to pay attention

Pergola structure stability is affected beams on which it stands. It is important to correct connection and anchoring in the field. Pergola must be carefully protected against water. The ideal placement of the legs is 15 cm above the surrounding terrain.
 
Pergolas can buy wood, mostly from coniferous wood or aluminum. The aluminum structure is less maintenance-intensive.
