There are many different ways to add shaded areas to your backyard, whether it might be through the use of trees, gazebos, awnings, or otherwise. One option to consider is pergolas. These slotted coverings offer the perfect combination of shade and sunlight while enjoying time outside. Here are a few ways you might consider using pergolas in your backyard.
- Outdoor kitchens: You might consider placing pergolas over outdoor kitchens to allow for a little extra shade while cooking your meals outdoors and a little sunlight to allow for natural lighting and warmth as you relax and enjoy the food.
- Over fire pits: As long as the spacing is properly planned to avoid any fire hazards, pergolas can be great for fire pits. They can offer coverage and protection against the sun while also allowing an easy way to vent the smoke out of the space.
- Pool decks: Pergolas can also be great additions by the pool deck. They can offer bits of shade while still allowing room for warmth from the sun, so you’re not cold and uncomfortable right when you get out of the water.
Pergolas can be great additions to any space in your backyard and can offer the perfect pairing of shade and lighting at any point in the day.
