What is a pergola?

A pergola is a large outdoor structure that forms a shaded walkway or sitting area in your backyard. It usually consists of a square wooden framework with an open latticed roof. With time, vines or trailing flowers can be trained to grow up the sides and along the top of the structure to provide additional shade.
