Pergolas are a great way to make outdoor entertaining areas enjoyable in all weather. Bunnings Workshop community members have shared a range of fantastic pergola projects, including this Pine timber pergola by member 425314, customised with shiplap panelling and bunker lights. Rafters are long lengths of timber or steel secured to joists at the top of a pitched roof pergola, and provide structural stability. Purlins are perpendicular to rafters and are used to secure roof sheeting. Material Pergolas come in a variety of sizes, styles, and placements, but most are constructed from wood. The type of timber used can make a significant difference in the lifespan and aesthetic of the structure. Harder timbers like Jarrah and Merbau are more durable than softer timbers, such as Cypress Pine. Wood pergolas are also a good choice for homes in coastal areas, where the structures can withstand high humidity and salt spray.

A backyard pergola is a great way to enhance your outdoor living space. Before you start construction, check with your homeowners association and local building department for permissions and to make sure you don’t hit any underground power, gas or cable lines. Incorporate fast-growing plants like wisteria, jasmine or ivy for immediate privacy and a beautiful aesthetic. Add comfortable seating arrangements, colorful outdoor rugs, hanging art pieces and water features to create an inviting and personal retreat right in your own backyard. Shade A pergola’s natural structure provides shade over an outdoor dining or living area, helping define the space and creating a focal point in your backyard. Adding vines to your pergola enhances its beauty, and can provide even more shade. If you want to protect your furniture or other items from rain or sun, consider a retractable canopy over a traditional pergola. A trellis or arbor also provides shade and helps keep climbing plants and flower...

Enclosed pergolas protect against the sun, wind and rain without compromising on design aesthetics. With options like automated screens or curtains, these structures can be draped in beautiful flowers, adorned with foliage or donned with other outdoor furniture.
