  Have you been planning on sprucing up your backyard? If so, you’ve probably considered building a new patio or pergola to make it stand out. While both have charm and practicality, which would be the best option for your home? To help you decide, let’s take a closer look at patios and pergolas and how each could be a great addition to your home. Defining Patios and Pergolas Before diving into the benefits of each one, let’s define these two. A patio is built directly on the ground, often made from concrete, brick, or stone. It’s a versatile space to place your favorite outdoor furniture, host a Sunday barbecue, or set up a hot tub for the cooler months. On the other hand, a pergola is an outdoor structure with vertical posts or pillars supporting a roof grid of beams and rafters. It often serves as a decorative addition to a garden, shaded walkway, or recreational area in your backyard. Key Differences Between Patios and Pergolas There are a few main factors that set pati...

Now that the warmer weather’s here, it's the perfect chance to welcome the new season with a new and improved outdoor space.

  Are you looking for ways to enhance the beauty of your outdoor space? A pergola is a flexible option that can quickly become one of your home's most defining features. It's flexible, easy to install and maintain, and gives you much-needed shelter from the rain or intense afternoon sun. How Are Pergolas Different From Patios? Traditional patios or decks are generally used to expand your outdoor area. On the other hand, pergolas are mainly used to enhance and beautify an already existing outdoor space, such as a garden or a patio. For example, if you're using your family deck on a hot day, an attached Four Seasons' Elitewood™ Pergola can give you some shade and let your guests enjoy your space for much longer. 3 Benefits Of Having A Pergola For Your House A heavy-duty and aesthetically pleasing pagoda can be the perfect addition to your home.
