Why a Timber Pergola?

A Pergola is a structure in the garden that forms either a sitting area or a walkway.  It is built using vertical posts that support rafters, cross beams and/or open lattice.  A Pergola incorporates functionality and beauty into your garden.  It provides seating, shade and a comfortable area outside of the house and enhances the character of the outdoor zone.  A Pergola creates a defined area and connects the garden and the home seamlessly.

A timber pergola focuses the attention of the Pergola on the wood elements – the posts, beams, rafters and lattice.  The colour, warmth and vibrancy of timber are unmatched.  As timber comes from a living thing the wood adds a natural warmth to your home.  Timber offers a timeless beauty that other materials cannot match.
