A pergola is a welcome addition to any outdoor space and is fairly easy to install once you know the style you want. It can instantly change a barren backyard into an inviting oasis. Choose from aluminum or wood patio covers, solid or lattice top, and hardware to create the look you want. There is plenty of customization available when it comes to building a pergola, and you’ll instantly see the appeal of how it upgrades your backyard.

Regardless of whether you use the LINX pergola system or create a customized patio cover kit at our store, there are several benefits to building a pergola that will keep you, your family, and guests cool and comfortable all year long.
Improves aesthetics
It doesn’t take much to personalize and expand the use of your home when you head outdoors. A pergola instantly improves the aesthetic of your backyard, making it a functional space that can complement any home design. Even when starting with a simple concrete slab, the addition of a shade structure warms up the space and transforms it into an entertainment area.
Provides shade
Speaking of shade, sunny days are a staple of Southern California, but as summer heats up, the rays can become too intense. To enjoy sitting outdoors for longer, a pergola provides much-needed shade. It can be built with a solid top structure or lattice to let sunbeams stream through as much as desired. Also, there’s the added option of installing a ceiling fan for an automatic breeze when the temperatures really start to soar.
Adds privacy
Adding decorative screen panels to the sides of your cover can also add privacy. These artistic structures maintain an airy feeling but without as much exposure to the neighbors. Available in various sizes, decorative screen panels are eco-friendly and long-lasting to weather the elements and remain looking beautiful. Homeowners can then get creative by adding other outdoor decor such as planters and patio furniture to complete a space that feels unique and relaxing.
Lights up evening entertaining
Once the pergola is in place, DEKOR lighting keeps the fun rolling after the sun goes down.
