You are likely starting to get the idea that there are many purposes for these backyard features. However, the most important piece is what’s important to you! The versatility is a huge bonus, so let’s take a moment to explore all its benefits and which parts align most with your vision for your outdoor space.

First, they are appealing pieces to have on a property. Not only do they look good, but they increase your property value. Buyers are willing to pay a higher price for a house when something like these features are included in the package, as they also extend living space and provide opportunities for entertaining and comfort in the outdoors.

They also provide privacy. Their structure alone provides a degree of privacy, with the option of adding screens or curtains for extra comfort and style. After all, they are a statement piece as much as they are practical. Your perfect match should reflect both your personal style as well as complement the architecture of your home.

In addition to giving you some shade, with enhancements or specific roof and structural choices, a pergola can grant you shelter from not-so-sunny days when you need it. That way your enjoyment of your yard isn’t cut off by inclement weather! Plus, if you have any of your climbing plants creeping up the structure, they will be getting a thorough watering, so that’s one less thing you have to do.
