What to Consider when Designing a Pergola?
There are a few important factors to decide when creating aluminum pergola designs. Key choices such as size, intended use and your backyard layout will ensure a functional, practical structure for years to come. For example:
- Location- is the pergola to be fixed over an existing deck or patio? Or is the design free-standing?
- Size & shape- do you require a custom size to blend with existing architectural features? Would a free-standing pergola kit be suitable? How many legs or anchor points are required?
- Is a metal pergola design suitable? Or is wood or other material better suited?
- Do you need planning permission or any special building licenses from local government, landlords or any other corporate body?
To complement the structure, have you considered heating, lighting or screening requirements? Will the louvers be designed to close manually or remotely? Once you have some design ideas, we can think about cost, construction and any other features/advice you might need to enhance functionality and ambience.
Evolution of Louvered Pergola Designs
Gone are the days of the 4-legs with a roof style of pergola designs. Using modern materials, fixed points to the house or deck, a range of custom color and size options, and aesthetic design twists such as slanted roofs, pergolas have become integral to creating complementary outdoor environments.No longer does a pergola merely provide shade; pergola designs have evolved to bring all the weather protection you need with head-turning architectural design features, blending function and luxury for irresistible relaxation.Modern life in the USA is about enjoying seamless indoor & outdoor living spaces, as we invest more time and income building outdoor kitchens, deck areas, hot-tubs and gardens, a well-designed pergola is the cherry on top to enjoy year-round comfort and maximize livability.
Enhancing Your Pergola Design
Once the structural elements have been decided, you can consider the design features that will add style and comfort to your outdoor area.
Utilizing a slanted roof for example, or in combination with a minimalist anchored design will complement and uplift your deck or patio. Using contrasting colors may create your luxurious vibe, or blending with your existing pallet may create a more welcoming and contemporary feel. A wooden deck or pool area can look amazing with a contrasting luxury pergola design.
A more traditional, free-standing design can lift a sleepy lawn to an outdoor oasis, combining family-friendly dining and entertainment. Once completed, you can combine textures in furniture, sunbeds and landscaping to create a stunning UV-protected patch!
