Garden Pergolas

The origin of the word “pergola” is taken from the Latin word “pergula”, which refers to a projecting eave. Pergolas are actually an ancient form of garden building with pergolas being recorded in 1400BC Egypt. Many pergolas have been uncovered during ancient digs of Pompeii, Italy, which was destroyed by Vesuvius in 79AD.

Now is the chance to buy a timeless piece of architecture that will transform your garden today. All the garden pergolas here at Buy Sheds Direct are wooden garden pergolas, we believe that wood is the very best material for a pergola.

Typically, garden pergolas are square structures, and normally have four columns, although our corner pergola has three columns. A pergola roof can either be closed or open, this all depends upon the design. Typically, most pergolas do not have sides, but on occasions, trellis panels are a decorative and also training of climbing plants.

Most frequently, garden pergolas are entirely freestanding, and this is certainly true of our range at Buy Sheds Direct. Our garden pergolas though can be attached to a house or garden buildings as a form of awning. Similarly, they can be attached to walls, garages, and fences.
