Free Standing Pergola Designs

What is a Free Standing Pergola?

A Pergola that is free-standing in the back or front yard can also be called a Gazebo.  Construction uses vertical posts that support open lattice, cross beams and/or rafters.  The Pergola gives shelter, seating and comfort and creates a separate zone in the garden area.  It is not attached to the home but completely free-standing.

A free-standing pergola is a great area to just relax or to party and socialise. It can also be a great place to for an outdoor kitchen or BBQ area. The pergola will be the go-to photo spot in the home to mark all those special occasions – birthdays, school formals, graduation, wedding/engagement, christenings, baby showers etc.
