When Vines grow on it, they climb along with the pergola properly and offer the shade that the lattice pattern roof does not. A number of pergolas positioned in a row with grapevines, woody vines, and other Vines growing upon them, make a peaceful covered walkway from here and there. 

A Pergola May Be The Centerpiece Of Your Backyard. 

As there are no walls and not even a proper roof, a pergola feels the same inside and outside. You have the feeling of being indoors as there is a structure above you but since the structure allows the elements in, it is much like being outdoors also. It may be defined as an outdoor living space without unnecessarily constraining it. Not only is it very low maintenance but it also creates a very relaxing environment for the backyard. This may be the reason why they are so popular in Italy. 

Constructing a stone walkway to the pergola adds a good touch to the backyard also and it allows the guests to know that it is the main attraction and that is the place where the entertainment is. While pergola is an odd structure and its unique feature of blending the outside and inside together makes it different from an ordinary patio or a freestanding gazebo. 

Pergola, beautiful in its design, appears strange to most people, so the owners are usually peppered with conversation starters such as, "Where did you get that?" and "How can I get one also?" Sitting under a vine-covered pergola with a glass of wine will be a very calm experience. 

Different Types Of Pergolas 

There are a variety of styles and designs of building a pergola in the house

●      Cladded design - this breaks the actual definition of the pergola by including the roof or clad in the design.

●      Open top - this perfectly defines a pergola with an open roof and is designed to support vines.

●      Gabled - it is a structure consisting of two sloping roof halves that have triangular space at the end of the roof

●      Pitched - very similar to verandah and patios roofs as they are attached with the house, or another standing structure or with a nearby tall wall but the roof is sloped downwards at an end mostly at the front.

●      Sail - they consist of a large sail, stretched taut between a number of poles of different places and heights at different distances.

●      Infills - these are non-structural filling elements used widely to fill the empty spaces in the pergola.
