The Pitched Pergola

The pitched pergola is a simple and elegant way to extend your interiors and create a smooth transition between your indoor and outdoor areas. This style can easily be integrated with most house designs. Although a simple design, it can be modified in multiple ways to reflect the style of the house or the surrounding context.

Typical modifications:

1. The size of the posts and front beam can be changed to give the structure a “timber look”.
2. Pitch direction can be flipped, this is beneficial for houses with a low roof level.
3. The gutter end of the pergola can be overhung, this enables the posts to be set back and provide greater sun and rain protection.

Gable Pergola

The gable pergola is a stunning addition to any home, this style creates a peerless outdoor experience. The high central apex magnifies the area, giving the occupants a sense of grandness when inhabiting the space. The gable pergola can be attached either with the main beams parallel to the house or extending from the roofline of the building. Although less customisable than the pitched pergola, you can opt for different thickness beams, posts, and rafters depending on the style you prefer.

Hip Pergola

The hip pergola is an elegant way to maximise the usability of an L - shaped deck. By wrapping the structure around the house, often following the decks outline, the hip creates a sense of continuity and once built feels like it is an integral part of the house.

Freestanding Pergola

With the freestanding pergola comes the freedom to completely express your vision. Untethered to any other structure, the freestanding pergola is uniquely unrestricted in its shape, uses, or location. Use it as a pool side shade structure, a covered BBQ area, or simply as a carport, our collection of designers and craftspeople take the spark of your creativity and make them reality.
