A pergola is an outdoor room with cross rafters and no walls that provides a light, airy and inviting space to relax, dine or just admire. Pergolas are much larger than arbors and are generally freestanding, but can be attached to another building.
A canopy is a great way to enjoy the great outdoors without any of the uncomfortable side effects from the weather. You can escape the wet weather and the harsh sun with ease. A canopy that is attached to your premises can prevent sun getting into your home, thus reducing the heat. This will assist with cooling down your home in the summer months and reducing the need for air conditioning.
