Highly Dependent on the Space You Have

When it comes to creating some nice movement in the landscape, there’s no doubt that pergolas are an excellent choice. Whether they’d be attached to the house as a covered patio, or detached and placed somewhere in the garden, pergolas are guaranteed to turn into a real eye-catcher. Deciding where and how to place one of these structures can be challenging, especially if working with limited space. There are a few important things to consider, such as: The climate – as that will determine whether it will be a solid roof or an open one; the proximity to any windows or doors; and the height of the pergola, as it is important that it fits well with the rest of the landscape. Determining the perfect height for a pergola is highly dependent on the space you’ve got. If it’s an attached patio, you’ll have to think about the height of the walls of the house to make it a seamless transition. If you’ve chosen to opt for a detached pergola, however, you’ve got a bit more freedom in terms of height. It’s good to decide from the get-go if you’d like to add any lighting to the roof, as that will require some extra height. Typically, the perfect height for a pergola would be between eight and 10 feet, as that will allow for it to feel open and spacious even when entertaining a larger number of guests.
