A pergola can transform the exterior of your home
On sidewalks, public and private gardens, the pergola stands out for its ability to create shade with a touch of elegance. Its various shapes and materials make it a popular choice at home, and rightly so, as only this accessory can transform your outdoor space. That's why today we take you into the world of pergolas and tell you about their many uses and benefits.
What are pergolas and what are their materials?
The pergola is a relatively simple construction, designed to provide shade in various spaces. It is composed of four vertical columns or pillars that support four horizontal beams at their ends.
The materials vary as much as their styles. The most common in gardens and terraces are made of wood, but they are also found in aluminium and steel. They are said to be inspired by Greek temples, although this inspiration is best reflected in porches, structures with which they should not be confused.
Uses of pergolas
Sidewalks: Amazingly, pergolas are used in many cities on sidewalks and parks to provide shade, created by plants planted for this purpose.
Gardens: In homes, museums, bars and restaurants, countless gardens use this structure not only to provide shade, but also to enhance the space.
Terraces: As in gardens, pergolas on terraces provide shade. Sometimes, a structure with a roof is chosen, making the use of plants optional.
Apart from these places, where else do you think you can use garden pergolas? We give you more ideas in the next sections.

Modernize your terrace with a pergola
In some parts of the world, the terrace is at the entrance of a house or business, in others it is an internal patio, and in still others it is on the top floor of a house or building.
For all of them, there is no better accessory than a pergola. Many of these structures have a roof and an awning, most of them sliding, which provides spectacular shade.
This accessory alone, placed on your terrace, will modernise it. Add sun loungers and you will have a perfect space to relax. In businesses, you can use outdoor furniture to create a relaxation area for your clients under the shade of the pergola, decorating with plants to add colour.
Use garden arches in your photo shoot
At VicHome, we value photography. We know that it can immortalize precious moments. To create a perfect photo set, what better than garden arches? They are ideal for quinceanera photos, weddings, gender reveals, graduations, and business and commercial events.
You can use the structure on a beach, in the courtyard of a house, in the entrance or garden of a country house, on a terrace or in a social hall. Thanks to their ease of transport and installation, garden arches adapt to multiple scenarios.
Natural plants for decoration
If you are enchanted by garden pergolas and want to use them with flowers, either for your photo shoot, or to decorate your home or business, we have some recommendations for you:
-
Weddings: Roses or gardenias on a vine spread across the structure symbolize love and look beautiful.
-
Anniversaries: Orchids symbolize maturity and wisdom, perfect for decorating anniversaries.
-
Quinceanera: Tulips, roses or sunflowers are ideal for this type of event.
-
Baby shower: Lilacs and hydrangeas represent purity and true love, perfect for decorating a baby shower or photos of the newborn.
How to protect your vehicle from rain and sun
If you don't have a garage at home and you have to leave your vehicle outdoors, you only need one accessory to solve the problem. A pergola can protect your car from heat, rain, dust and snow.
Parking your vehicle under a wooden, steel, bamboo or aluminium pergola will protect it better than a waterproof cover or tarp. In rainy weather, pergolas with a roof allow you to get in and out of the car and unload your bags without getting wet.
Why choose garden pergolas?
We have shared a series of benefits of pergolas. Among their uses, the incredible transformations they achieve after their installation stand out. We also tell you how you can use a garden arch in your work and the usefulness of a structure with a roof for your car.
But what other reasons are there to choose them? Ease of transport and assembly are key. At VicHome, we know that these benefits will be useful to you when choosing the structure that suits your needs. We are happy to have shared them with you.
