How To Use Your Pergola

At Chimes, we supply and install plenty of pergolas for homeowners in Essex and its surrounding areas. If you have never considered a pergola in your home, they add charm to your garden. In particular, our Titan Pergola range is created using high quality aluminium for extra durability. You might be wondering what a pergola is used for. When you choose us, we will give you some ideas on how you can make the most out of it. Read on to learn more.

What Is A Pergola?

 

The first question to answer in this case is what a pergola is. A pergola is a structure that creates a shaded walkway that is fitted to a garden. In this case, our Titan range of Pergolas is ideal because it is a versatile design. Meticulously crafted from high quality aluminium, it is known for its strength and resistance to bad weather conditions. What’s more, this will protect it from the worst weather conditions.

 

Our pergolas offer a wide range of design possibilities. Whether you want a wooden design or something more colourful,  we have a range of options that will suit you.

 

With many people getting creative with their outdoor spaces, there is an abundance of ways that they can use their pergolas. 

 

 

 

 

Use it to Add A Swing 

 

If you want to relax in the garden, an easy way of doing this is to purchase a porch swing to fit it on the pergola. This creates a playful atmosphere, which can be hung on the edge. Secure the chains to the beams, and you have the perfect spot to relax or read a book. It is a great way of adding shade to your garden while being a design that you can fall asleep to. 

 

Turn Your Pergola into a Classic Canopy 

 

Pergolas are best when put in the shade, so what better way to customise it than to turn it into a classic canopy? If you want to use your pergola in a classic style, we have many unique options. Choose a tension canopy which is a great addition to classic style pergolas. It comes with a fixed canvas which adds some shade, protecting you from the light. The pergola’s structure will benefit from either side which lets fresh air in, ensuring your space is relaxing. 

 

Use Tension Fabric For  A Simple Design 

 

If you want a simple design for your pergola, then we have a stylistic choice that fits your needs. Tension fabric is ideal for this because it creates an extra bit of light on your property. The tension fabric will also give you protection against a sudden shower, keeping you warm and dry. Ideal for modern pergolas with clean lines, this results in a sleek, contemporary look. 

 

Another method that you can use for your pergola is through the use of fixed panels. This gives you an unsubtle method that doesn’t detract from the overall appearance of the pergola. This creates an extra shade of protection from the sun and elements, so you will stay dry for longer. 

 

Add an Adjustable Fabric Wall 

 

While pergolas let in fresh air, there are also ways that they can give you extra privacy in your garden. Choose a Shade Flex blind that gives you extra privacy at the touch of a button. It is suitable for every pergola design, so when you put it on the Titan aluminium pergola range, then you will get added warmth and natural heat. 

Make Use Of the Built in Drainage System 

 

All our aluminium pergolas offer a built in drainage system that lets the water leak off the roof. This is ideal because that way, you won’t get wet. What’s more, it will also keep the pergola roof dry so you won’t get a pool of water surrounding it.

 

The tilting louvres are weatherproof, meaning they can catch the rainwater straight away. This will ensure that you will get a design that keeps you warm and dry.
