Understanding the Different Styles and Types

April 17, 2019 by Richard Kuca

Now that you have decided on an arbor installation to maximize and complement the beauty of your garden and landscape, you need to determine the style and material that will best suit your needs. Do you want something with a more classic appeal or with a modern twist? Do you want it made from materials that will weather with age or last for years to come? All of these questions can be discussed and answered with the landscape or fence company of your choosing, but it is a good idea to understand some of the basics before meeting with a professional.

Traditional

A traditional arbor is designed to allow for vining plants to crawl up the trellis sides, creating a unique and classic entryway for your garden or backyard retreat. Some units have benches built in or gates that can latch. However, the most basic forms are open with trellis sides and a slatted or solid roof.

Tunnel or Archway

If you are interested in adding a little more interest to your arbor installation, then consider using an archway. For larger lawns, you can stack two arbors back-to-back to make a tunnel effect, creating visual appeal and separation. This effectively creates a dramatic garden entrance, especially when coupled with picket fencing and plant life.

Wood Alternatives

While many arbors are made from wood, the upkeep is a tremendous downside. Therefore, many homeowners prefer to go with either vinyl or metal. Vinyl is a maintenance free option that will last for years to come, as it is weather and waterproof. Metal can add a distinctive appeal to your garden scape, but it is heavy and may be prone to rust. However, some property owners don’t mind the weathering and actually prefer it in their landscapes.

An arbor installation can offer a custom, beautiful and functional element to any landscape. However, it is always better to seek the help and knowledge of a professional when sorting through your potential options.

Choosing a Pergola Roof

March 17, 2019 by Richard Kuca

roof

As garden structures go, a pergola is about as traditional as you can get. Made from wood, stone or metal, these structures have been around for centuries, adding beauty and functionality to garden landscapes. However, while the more classic models were made with open, slatted or crossed beams, designs have modernized a bit, allowing for several roof options. Therefore, before hiring a contractor for a pergola installation, review the materials available and choose a roof that will fit with your landscape.

Traditional

The traditional pergola was developed as a shade structure with a roof of crossed beams that were meant to support vines and other plant life. In essence, pergolas were built to be a type of living structure. The traditional roof and vine combination is still quite popular, but it has dwindled in popularity when compared to more robust and modern roof lines and options. Some will argue that vine-covered structures are hard to maintain and invite bugs, which makes it uncomfortable to sit and relax.

Transparent

While not everyone appreciates the idea of a vine-covered patio, many appreciate the beauty of the crossed beam layout. If you are only interested in a minor reprieve from the sun’s rays with your pergola installation, then a transparent roof of plexiglass may work. These roofs allow for some shade without obstructing the view of the sky.

Fabric

Another option for those who appreciate the crossed beams of more traditional pergolas may also like a fabric roof covering. This option allows for superior shade and comfort on hot days, but it still leaves the exposed wood beams.

Solid

If you are not completely attached to the traditional pergola structure, then you may be interested in more modern rooflines and materials. You can cover your pergola in metal sheeting or wood. However, the roofline may change slightly to allow for drainage. This is the most durable option for your garden structure.

Regardless of the roof you choose for your pergola, you should speak with a professional about your pergola installation and your options. Depending on the look you are going for, one roof may be superior to the other options.
