Choosing a pergola for your villa
A pergola can turn an underused corner of your garden into a place to sit, dine or spend time together. Start with the way you want to use the space.
Plan around everyday living
Think about the seating you need, paths through the garden and how the new structure will connect to your home. Measure your furniture before finalising the layout.
Compare materials and upkeep
Wood and aluminium offer different finishes and maintenance needs. Ask your installer about the proposed specification, finish, care routine and warranty rather than choosing from appearance alone.
Consider light and privacy
Look at the space at different times of day. Discuss shade, outdoor lighting and privacy as part of one design.
Confirm the practical details
Check any community or authority approvals that apply to your property before work begins. Request a clear scope, drawing and quotation covering installation and finishing.
