Covered Dining Area

The feel of dining out at a restaurant right in your backyard! One of the most popular pergola uses involves pairing your formal outdoor dining space with a pergola to create both a luxury ambience as well as outstanding shade coverage. This style often calls for a free-standing pergola placed on a deck or patio. Not only will this bring an air of elegance to your family dinners, but it will make your outdoor space more comfortable.

Poolside pergolas are popular in both exotic resorts and backyards alike – and it isn’t hard to see why! Firstly, the elegant look of the pergola brings a distinctly upscale feel to any in-ground pool. On top of that, having total or partial shade nearby the pool is perfect for catching a break from the sun when swimming.

We Install High-Quality Pergolas

The last thing you need to bring one of these backyard pergola ideas home is the right product line. Just like our low-maintenance fencing, you can count on our vinyl pergolas to look exceptional for decades. Since the pergolas we install are built from ultra-high-quality vinyl, they will never need to be re-painted or re-stained. Compare this to wooden pergolas which often need serious maintenance to keep from growing mold or starting to rot. If we install a pergola for you, it will still look amazing even after decades out in the elements – no maintenance needed. These advantages are why we say our pergolas are the top-of-the-line option. Learn more about what makes for the best pergolas on the market!
