Garden Pergolas.
Garden pergolas are freestanding structures placed in the lawn or border, away from the house. They work well as a focal point over a dining area, fire pit, hot tub or seating zone. Available in timber, aluminium or hybrid designs, with fixed or louvered roofs.
Homeowners with larger gardens who want a destination outdoor area separate from the house. Also a good choice when an attached pergola is not possible due to building layout or planning constraints.
