pergolas
Vine-climbing garden structures
Pergolas are outdoor structures with vertical posts supporting an open overhead framework, typically made of wooden beams or lattice.
Unlike gazebos or pavilions, pergolas have no solid roof—they're designed to provide partial shade and support climbing plants like vines or roses: Wisteria draped over the pergola.
They define garden spaces and outdoor living areas.
