  • What is a Pergola and What is it Used for?

A deck pergola is designed to provide shade, protection, and comfort to an outdoor living space. Deck pergola ideas in Chicago can add style and function to any backyard or patio.

What Exactly is a Pergola?

A pergola is essentially an open-air passageway or structure used to add privacy and beauty to your outdoor living space. The pergola is supported by posts that create a frame for the roof which can be covered with either metal or wood latticework. This creates an inviting and open atmosphere that enhances the beauty of your home.

Uses of a Pergola Deck

There are many great ways to use a pergola, such as:

  • Create additional shaded areas
  • Provide space for tables and chairs to relax or entertain in your backyard
  • Provide a place to plant climbing vines, hang lighting, or hide bulky outdoor appliances
