Types of Pergolas
Regardless of the design, pergolas have a few essential components. Two of these include columns, which support the roof, and beams and rafters, which make up the slats for the roof. Then, depending on the type, your pergola may or may not have purlins or ledger board.
Not sure what kind of pergola will suit your property? Our team can provide informed suggestions, but other than that, here are some of the most common types:
Freestanding Pergola
This is the preferred style for property owners with enough outdoor space. A freestanding pergola stands as a separate landscape feature, detached from the main structure. You can build it in the garden, beside the pool, or a separate outdoor area for leisure activities.
Louvred Pergola
This type has adjustable louvres instead of regular slats, so you can open and close them depending on what time it is. You can choose from manual and automatic models that help you control how much sun comes through the roof.
Attached Pergola
For properties with limited space, such as single-family homes and small business locations, we recommend attached pergolas. As the name implies, one side is attached to a wall of the main property. It’s also preferable to cover an area such as a deck or patio.
Arched Pergola
Pergolas usually have flat roofs, but if you prefer something more traditional, an arched top is a better option. You can consult our team for more arched pergola designs that complement your architecture.
Awning Pergola
These pergolas are much smaller, so they can be mounted onto the wall without the need for support columns or posts. These are meant to provide shade over a smaller space, such as a garage, window, or even a door.

Benefits of Pergolas
Not sure if you need a pergola? These are some of the most common uses and benefits of installing a pergola on your Adelaide property:
Cover A Deck or Patio
If you’ve constructed a deck or patio but can’t use it because of how sunny it gets, an attached pergola is just what you need. It can transform your patio by making it feel like an extension instead of a separate outdoor space. With some furniture, you can create a dedicated room for spending time by yourself or with loved ones.
Creates a Dedicated Outdoor Room
Another advantage is that by installing a pergola, you can transform an empty space in your yard into an outdoor room. Not only does a pergola add structure to your dedicated outdoor space, but it blocks out strong winds and sunlight.
Enhance Your Pool or Outdoor Kitchen
It’s not easy to change the landscaping around your outdoor kitchen or pool. Perhaps you’re dealing with a lack of privacy? It’s also possible that the space doesn’t look inviting enough. In these cases, a pergola can make outdoor amenities, such as kitchens and pools, seem more welcoming.
Enhances Landscaping
A well-designed pergola is a timeless addition to your landscape and can transform a plain outdoor space. It gives you an indoor-like environment while you’re outdoors, all without impacting the growth of nearby trees and plants. This can add to your property’s curb appeal, which comes with its own set of perks.
Improves Home Value
With all these benefits, it’s easy to see how a pergola can improve your property’s value. Once you decide to resell the property, you’re likely to make a better impression on a valuator with outdoor features like patios and pergolas. This potentially results in improved property value. It’s also important to remember that, when maintained properly, installations like pergolas can also help a property sell faster.
