WHAT IS A PERGOLA? 

A pergola is a structure composed of several columns and a rectangular top frame, covered with climbing plants or a special awning. Its main purpose is sun and rain protection, but it also has an important decorative role for new trends of architecture and design, for spaces such as terraces, restaurants, chill-out areas, etc.

The origin of the word comes from Latin “pergula”. The word pergola has been used in Italian since 1646 and in English since 1675. 

The pergola is a man-made structure that can look like it’s part of the nature, which has been used in English naturalist gardens during s. XVIII and XIX.Luxurious pergolas were made with brick and stone pillars by the architect Sir Edwin Lutyens and the landscaper Gertrude Jekyll.
