What’s the difference between a pergola and a pergoda?

We explain the difference between a pergola, pergoda and a pagoda, to help you decide which structure will create the perfect shaded area in your garden.

What’s the difference?

The pergola and pergoda are very similar concepts. Both are structures designed to provide shading in outdoor areas. The main difference is that pergodas feature a solid roof made up of slats, whereas pergolas feature a sliding or louvred roof for greater versatility. Pagodas are Asian in origin and feature a striking tiered tower design with multiple eaves. Like pergodas their roofs are solid, so they don’t offer the flexibility of a pergola.

A versatile way to make the most of your outside space

An aluminium pergola with a sliding and louvred roof will create an inviting shaded area in your garden, offering you the chance to make the most of your outside space. With the flexibility of an adjustable roof, you can control shade and airflow for maximum enjoyment throughout the day. What’s more, you can customise your aluminium pergola with outdoor heating and LED lighting. This means you’ll even be able to enjoy your garden hideaway in the winter months. With sliding glass panels, you can go even further and transform your pergola into a perfectly enclosed outdoor haven that’s protected from the elements. With a selection of colour options, you’ll be able to find a design that best suits your home. Stylish and practical, aluminium pergolas are the perfect option for creating a welcoming outside space that can be enjoyed all year round.

Can I get my neighbour to cut back or reduce the height of their trees or hedge?

In most situations the simple answer to this is no. You have a common law right to prune back parts of a tree or hedge growing over the boundary into your property (subject to any legal restrictions being overcome first such as Tree Preservation Orders or conservation areas) but you cannot compel the owner of the trees or hedge to carry out this work or pay for it. As a general rule you have no legal right to a view which has been obscured by your neighbour’s trees. If your neighbour owns an evergreen hedge close to your property you can make a formal complaint to your Local Planning Authority (LPA) under the High Hedges legislation as set out in Part 8 of the Antisocial Behaviour Act 2003. There is usually a charge for this process. The LPA will consider the complaint using standard government guidance set out in a document called Hedge Height and Light Loss. If your complaint is successful the LPA will determine an Action Height to which the height of the hedge must be reduced. If your neighbour’s tree or hedge is dangerous and is a hazard to your property then there is action that can usually be taken. In this situation you should contact an arboricultural consultant for further advice. It is always better to settle a dispute about trees amicably and it is recommended that you try to resolve it by talking to your neighbours first.
