A pergola is a structure or archway with a framework covered in climbing or trailing plants. It consists of posts and beams but no walls or roof. Freestanding or attached to your home, a pergola is usually designed to be a shaded walkway or relaxation area. Pergolas were common features of Italian Renaissance gardens, often covering walkways or serving as grape arbors. This structure can be used to define a passageway or frame a focal point in your yard too. Add a climbing plant such as wisteria or, yes, grapevines, and your pergola will provide color and shade as well.
