Pergolas are an outdoor feature that forms a shaded sitting area or walkway, and is made of vertical posts that support cross beams or lattice. They come in many shapes and sizes and can be created out of a variety of materials. The word pergola is from the Latin word pergula, which means “projecting eave”.
