A pergola adds SO much design and function to your backyard spaces!
They can be free standing, or attached to your house (depending on your budget).
They offer shade, and define spaces for seating groups, lighting etc!
I just love the string lights that zig zag across this pergola, as well as the vertical strands that run behind the couch.
Who wouldn’t want to spend a warm summer evening in this space?
