If you have a backyard with a pool or deck, a pergola will pair well with either of these outdoor elements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another popular use is to serve as an outdoor seating area with a space for BBQ. Pairing a pergola with an outdoor kitchen is a great way to introduce entertaining.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to providing shelter, a pergola can provide privacy and prevent sunlight glare from entering your home. Adding a few decorative plants or a bamboo canopy can help achieve this effect.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For added privacy, you can install a retractable shade canopy or a tarp that is hard to see through it. If you want a more exotic look, you can also use paper lanterns.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pergola can also act as a trellis, or support for climbing vines. If you want to keep insects away, you can invest in some insect screens.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides protecting occupants from the elements, building pergolas can add to the overall value of a home regardless of cost. They are relatively easy to build and can last for decades. However, they do require some maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65e4150

and estimating the cost of a pergola in your backyard, there are a few different materials to consider. Wood, fiberglass, vinyl and metal are all options. However, it is important to choose the right one. If you want a pergola that will last for years, you may want to consider investing in a high-quality material.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common types of outdoor pergolas are made from wood. Best choices of wood include cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated wood.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wood is a natural, sturdy material that is also easily painted and stained. A cedar pergola is popular because of its beauty and durability. It&#8217;s also resistant to rot and insects. A stain or water seal will give your pergola a longer life.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option is composite wood. This material is environmentally friendly and requires little maintenance. The finish is also very smooth. The wood cell walls are thicker, making it more durable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you prefer a more modern look, consider a pergola with metal posts paired with a type of wood finish.

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you are considering adding an outdoor pergola to your property, it is important to find out what are the requirements from your local municipality which can affect the cost of building a pergola. <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/library.municode.com\/\">Municode<\/a><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.generalcode.com\/library\/\">eCode360<\/a><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are great tools to easily look up building code online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will not only need a permit to get started, but you will also need to pass a code inspection or require an engineer to stamp drawings. Some qualified contractors can help you do all the necessary paperwork needed to build a pergola.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to choosing wood, you&#8217;ll need to take into account the local climate and the environment where you live. In the tropics, you may need to consider tropical hardwood species such as teak and ipe. Similarly, in a coastal region, you&#8217;ll need a pergola that is wind resistant.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, an outdoor pergola is a freestanding structure that can be built near your home or attached to an existing structure. It can be as large or as small as you like, but you will need to follow the proper permitting procedures to ensure your project is built safely and correctly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-built pergola is not only a beautiful addition to your home, but it can also serve as a great place to relax, entertain, or even socialize. However, a poorly constructed one can cause you trouble down the line.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98ec0ef elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"98ec0ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1062106 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1062106\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">ONLINE COURSES<\/h6>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1287356 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"1287356\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6f09391c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6f09391c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2baed51e\" data-id=\"2baed51e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a5b766 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1a5b766\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Which direction should a pergola face?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61b7fbbc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"61b7fbbc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/thelandscapelibrary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/avantagesetinconvenientspergolaenboiscabriescalasjpg_615d823e1fcf0.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-10578\" alt=\"Image of pergola slats up-close showing how shadows affect a space.\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Project by Teck Amenagement<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77d41268 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"77d41268\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The direction a pergola faces will impact the amount of sun it can filter and also affect the amount of natural sunlight that filters into the interiors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The location of a pergola can make a huge difference in the amount of shade it can offer, which offers justification of the cost of building a pergola.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pergola can be placed almost anywhere, but you&#8217;ll want to make sure the pergola adds function to different types of spaces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, to keep the blazing midday rays out of your backyard during the summer months, you\u2019d want the rafters of the pergola to run East and West. If you\u2019d like to create shade in the mornings or afternoons, consider running the rafters of the pergola to run North and South.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A properly constructed pergola can add a beautiful touch to any landscape. It can even provide your backyard with some shade during the hottest part of the day. There are many options to choose from, including vines, foliage and a covered roof.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fabric canopy can be an elegant addition to a pergola. Depending on the style, it can be elaborate or simple. You can also go for shade sails, which are fabric covers attached to poles. They come in many different sizes and colors, so you can find the right fit for your space. To create additional shade you can hang a sheet from the roof.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also use plant vines near the base of the pergola to add greenery. Adding a few trees or climbing plants can help you create a sense of privacy from all sides. Using tinted glass to reflect the sun is a simple way to do this, while a piece of old cloth tied to the top of your pergola can do the trick too.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ce69d3 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget

can vary greatly depending on the type of materials and labor required.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the most common materials used in the construction of a pergola are wood and metal because these materials are durable and relatively easy to maintain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One important aspect that can help decide on choosing the correct material is to consider the environmental conditions where you want to place your pergola.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you live in a very sunny area, some exterior surfaces like metal may become hotter in temperature while other materials like wood have different thermal properties.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another factor that can affect the cost of building a pergola is the size of the structure. While a typical wood pergola could cost between $5,000 to $10,000. Larger structures require more wood and more work and can be upwards of $20,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To reduce labor costs, a good choice is a modular or prefabricated outdoor structure that includes everything you need.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don&#8217;t have a lot of experience with carpentry, it may be more convenient to hire a professional. A pergola builder can save you a significant amount of time while providing appropriate construction methods to ensure security.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are looking for additional pricing on landscape costs, check out our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thelandscapelibrary.com\/product\/landscape-construction-estimation-handbook\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Construction Estimation Handbook<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; a 20-page eBook which provides oversight of landscape construction with typical labor hours, typical labor costs, and typical unit pricing.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investing in an outdoor pergola is an excellent way to extend an outdoor space, however, you must consider these factors before construction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":10572,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[61,204,207,196,236],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.4 (Yoast SEO v22.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What is the Cost of an Outdoor Pergola? - The Landscape Library<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Investing in a pergola is costly but an excellent way to extend an outdoor space.
