Pergolas represent an excellent shading solution for residential decks and can greatly enhance the overall curb appeal of your residence. The simplicity of its structural framework means that a Porch Builder will not charge you an arm and a leg to construct.
Some excellent ideas you can implement when seeking to enhance your pergola’s design include:
Growing Vines
If you’re a fan of nature, growing vines around the pergola’s structure is a great way to enhance aesthetics and improve the shade available with this addition. Vines can offer an organic canopy across the beams and rafters, mitigating the level of sunlight that reaches the surface without blocking all available light.
Integrating Lighting Fixtures
Another great way to enhance the overall aesthetics of this structure while improving functionality is the inclusion of lighting fixtures around the framework. Simple solutions such as string lights or lanterns can greatly change the ambiance of this section. They’re also quite easy to install.
Installing Ceiling Panels
If you’re looking for a more effective means of blocking the sun’s rays you can opt for ceiling panels that stretch halfway or across the entirety of the beams and rafters. This is also a great solution to protect against elements such as rain and falling debris. If you’re seeking reliable deck upgrade services, call us today!
