Having a pergola on a deck can lead to some magical dinners.

Having a deck of any size is possible with a almost any backyard. Yet, even with a deck most homeowners don’t have a pergola on a deck or any outdoor dining space. A pergola can be either on top of a deck, attached to the deck over a stone patio. It can be completely separate from the house, or simply placed on the grass somewhere in the yard. What most home owners don’t realize is that a pergola adds a great deal of value to their home. While also acting as an incredible outdoor dining and entertaining area that is practically magic. Adding a pergola can transport you to a place where things are easier, cooler, and more beautiful. So with that in mind, take a look below for some inspiration.

 

Make Shade With A Pergola On A Deck

Most people that have a pergola use climbing vines, flowers, and even fruit that will thrive with little maintenance. Adding trees, vines, or flowers to a pergola adds shade from that hot summer sun. Adding the grill invites even more activity and outdoor meals. It’s almost like having a full kitchen and dining room outdoors, where you can enjoy the best of food, nature, and family. We want to be outside and on the deck in the summer. So why not have a space that allows you to enjoy the outdoors, while staying cool.

 

A Sanctuary

Adding plants and flowers, creative and cute lighting, and an interesting table, to a pergola on a deck will create the ideal sanctuary. It will become a place that almost seems mythical and fantastic. Of course, not every home wants to turn it up to this much charm. But you can take the same concept of adding lights and plants of your own style and personality. Create a place that makes you dream. Anything that feels like an escape from your every day.
