outdoor living PERGOLAS Picturesque and Practical
STRIKING GARDEN FEATURES AND A SENSE OF PLACE
THE WORD PERGOLA DERIVES FROM THE LATIN WORD “PERGULA”, A “PROJECTING EAVE”
Biossun Bioclimatic Pergola (freestanding)
Today we use the term to describe an attractive garden feature. It can be an extension of a building or a freestanding structure to add definition to a walk way or a garden focal point. There are examples of pergolas dating from the late medieval periods. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries garden designers such as Sir Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll incorporated them into their landscapes and the popularity and appeal of the pergolas has grown ever since. Pergolas are useful to draw focus in a garden, perhaps to a building entrance, or acting as a visual link between attractive focal points or views. They can also be used to differentiate garden areas or ‘outdoor rooms’ within a garden.
PRACTICALITY OUTDOORS AND PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS

Pergolas offer attractive and practical support for climbing and twining plants and the posts and overhead beams will create inviting areas of dappled light and shade. A pergola
will also provide atmospheric
intimate space for alfresco dining and get- togethers as well as a secluded atmosphere above a hot tub.

It is reported that the high beams of a Pergola structure, if placed over a garden fish pond, can be a deterrent to hungry herons. Pergolas can be designed to be both open or semi-enclosed structures via practical drapes, blinds or curtains. With the addition of a roof (made from a choice of cedar shingles, glass or tiles) they will provide shelter over a garden seating area or outdoor kitchen.
