Pergola canopies

Pergola canopies that bring the Mediterranean vibe into your garden

On a bright August day, hiding under pergola canopies with a book and a cold drink in hand, you might mistake yourself for being in the charming Italian countryside. Pergolas, unlike gazebos and pavilions that provide complete shade, are covered with an open framework of wooden or steel beams. Because of their adaptability, they are popular among sun seekers. A shade sail can be pushed back for optimal sunlight or drawn overhead to create an awning.

Pergolas are available in a variety of styles, including canopies and gazebos, at vidaXL.

Entertaining guests under pergolas with canopies

Add several pergolas with canopies to your garden lounge area to make it more elegant. You may bring a touch of luxury and visual appeal to your garden landscape by installing retractable gazebos. These are ideal for covering an outdoor bonfire or BBQ because of the open roof. You'll dazzle your summer dinner guests if you surround a backyard cooking area with a pergola. The structure will give your patio or terrace more height and define your relaxing area, making it feel like an outdoor room.

Climbing plants for additional shade

Pergolas were originally built to allow climbing plants to thrive and give natural shade. They were popular among the ancient Egyptians, as well as Eastern Asia and 17th century Renaissance gardens in Italy. Plant honeysuckle, passionflower, grapevines, or wisteria at the base of your pillars to add extra natural beauty to your pergola canopies. They'll wind their way up the frame, creating a rich, colourful, and leafy canopy.
