01. WHAT IS PERGOLAS?
Basically a structural feature or accent with a substantial
framework (sometimes covered in a vine) that gives an
outdoor space some height and shade.

02. CONSTRUCTION
-Consisting of anchored posts that support cross beams,
can be used as a walkway or more commonly as a seating
area.

-Much larger and more open and normally does not include
built-in seating.

03. WHY A GARDEN NEED PERGOLAS?

The open canopy of a pergola’s overhead structure is a
strong and effective transitional link between a house’s
solid roof and the pergola’s open structure.

1. WOOD
THE BEST MATERIALS USED

This is the classic choice. We can choose rough-sawn lumber or planed, smooth lumber that we
can paint or stain.
Wood is good for posts, beams, or both. Wood as the beams or rafters can be smartly combined IMPORTANT
with other materials forming the pillars or posts. Think stucco pillars to match a stucco house. Whatever materials

The modern equivalent to wrought iron. This material is useful on weight-limited roofs, and the
material stays cool (which clinging plants appreciate).
 Trellis
What is Trellis?
A trellis (treillage) is an architectural structure, usually made from
an open framework or lattice of interwoven or intersecting pieces
of wood, bamboo or metal.

Construction steps :
1. Installing a trellis in the Ground or in a Pot
For lightweight plants, simply sink the legs into the soil about 12
inches. For heavier plants that need more support, sink the legs at
least two feet into the soil.

● Attach rebar to the legs with wire or twine.

● Attach wood stakes to the legs using nails or screws.
● Attach metal stakes to the legs using wire, nails or screws.
2. Mounting a trellis to a Fence or Wall
You can mount a trellis onto a wall or fence using trellis brackets
. Trellis brackets offset the trellis from the mounting surface.
This improves air circulation and provides plants with a space to
climb.

STANDARD SQUARE TRELLIS PANELS
DIAMOND TRELLIS PANELS
LATTICE TRELLIS PANELS
Types :
● Standard square trellis panels
● Diamond trellis panels
● Lattice trellis panels
● Arbor trellis
ARBOR TRELLIS
Function :
Support climbing plants, which can't stand straight like a tree or houseplant.
With the aid of the trellis, the climbing plant wraps around the trellis and adds
decoration to a garden. Sometimes trellis is used as a metaphor for other kinds
of support.
Materials : Factors to consider :
● Wood. ● Soil type
● Wrought iron. ● Potential wind forces
● Strong synthetics or plastics. ● Tree canopy type
● Monofilament (fishing wire)
● Wire.
 Bridges

What is bridges?
a structure carrying a road, path, railway, etc. across a
river, road, or other obstacle.
Function
● Bridges allow people to travel from one location to another.
● Allows for the avoidance of potentially unsafe or unpleasant
elements while also adding aesthetic value to landscape
design.
● It should be simple to use.
● It is safe to construct. Without inflicting any damage, they are
placed in appropriate locations. Safety and comfort should be
top priorities in design.
● The material should be long-lasting, waterproof, and vandal-
resistant.
