Placing a pergola
From a practical point of view, a pergola makes a great place to grow climbers and adds extra height to the garden.
Although they are usually linear in shape, a round or semi-circular pergola makes a good plant pavilion over which to train a climber or weeping tree.

| A pergola placed against the back of the house makes a cool, shady terrace, perfect for a Mediterranean-style garden.
|
| Used within a garden a pergola is a good way to divide the area into smaller ‘rooms’ and add an element of mystery, without making it look dark.
|
| A long, straight path can look a bit dull on its own, but a pergola turns it into a fascinating feature that suits both formal and natural gardens. It’s like walking through a tunnel of plants.
