Common Questions Answered
Lone Star Patio Covers & Enclosures has built hundreds of outdoor pergolas across the Houston area. We have used many different designs and materials. You might have a lot of questions if you are just starting to consider building a shade cover for your backyard. Here area some of the most common questions.
What is a pergola?
A pergola features a lattice roof design intended to provide partial sun blockage for your patio area. Also known as arbors, these structures are versatile and stylish. Here’s why you’ll love having a pergola:
- Natural Beauty: Pergolas serve as a framework for climbing vines, flowering plants, or hanging greenery. Imagine wisteria or jasmine weaving through the lattice, creating a picturesque scene.
- Sun Relief: When the Texas sun blazes down, your pergola provides a cool, shaded retreat. It’s the perfect spot to unwind without feeling the harsh rays.
- Customization: From rustic wooden pergolas to sleek metal designs, you have options. Plus, you can personalize your pergola with canopy coverings, lighting fixtures, and other accessories.
