The plants and herbs, water features and other decors may make your yard more inviting and pleasant place, but choosing comfortable furniture to dine on, entertain and relax outdoor should be at the top of your list. Building a pergola is one of the most interesting choices that we have. This type of patio structure consists of beams and posts, but doesn’t have walls and roof and usually is covered with trailing or climbing plants. It can be attached to your house or freestanding. However, pergolas are designed to be a relaxation zone or shaded walkways. The difference between a gazebo and pergola is huge, as gazebo is a free standing structure, with a proper roof and open framework.
