Melbourne & Central Florida Pergolas

The Difference Between Patios & Pergolas

Unlike a patio, which is an extension of your roof, a pergola is an open-rafter structure that can either be freestanding or attached to your house. Because of the open-rafter structure, you won’t get a lot of protection from the elements, but it can provide shade as well as architectural interest to your backyard. 

Also, unlike patios, pergolas are not a permanent addition to your home, so you don’t need to stress about adding a pergola to your yard. Pergolas do not have to be built right up against your house; they can be placed elsewhere in your yard, wherever you’re looking to create a shaded seating area.

Pergolas are:

• A-frame structure with open rafters
• Open to weather and other elements
• Freestanding or attached to your home
• Easily customizable!
