From your photo to a buildable pergola
What an honest pergola concept has to get right.
Roof styles you can compare
Open rafters, fixed slats, or an adjustable louvered roof, each rendered over your seating so you can judge shade and proportion before you buy.
Materials and color that fit your house
Cedar, painted wood, powder-coated aluminum, or steel against your house color, so the material is a decision and not a guess.
Attached or freestanding, then hand it over
See a pergola attached to the house or standing over the patio, with posts where they would land, then take the concept to a builder.
