Garden pergolas come in a wide variety of styles, designs and materials. Traditional pergolas tend to be made from wood, and accommodate climbing plants like clematis and rambling roses up each corner column.
If you're looking for something with a more modern look, consider options made from weather-resistant metal, with added features such as drainage systems, adjustable roofs and LED lights. Or, for a vintage look, there are plenty of whimsical choices, handcrafted from tubular metal with decorative details.
We've picked out our favourite pergolas available right now. Most of the models listed are modern with premium features, but we've included some traditional styles too.
