Besides the classic beauty, here are some of the practical applications you may or may not have considered: A pergola can filter light with its lattice-like canopy. They are often used as open-roofed gateways to homes from your garage or garden. Pergolas can bridge an area between a deck that's separate from the house. You can even use one the same way as a trellis or arbor, by growing vines or other climbing plants onto it. A pergola can be placed over all or part of a patio deck for increased shade and beautiful design. It will give a cooling-off zone, causing "breaks" from direct sun. They will actually lower the temperature on that part of your deck by a few degrees. But enough sun gets through to still get that "warmness" from that.
