Wooden Pergola Shading a Concrete Patio
A weathered timber pergola casts striped shadows across a concrete patio furnished with a hanging egg chair, a small stone basin, and potted lavender in terracotta planters.
Design notes
Modern patios rely on large-format pavers or seamless poured concrete, tight joints and furniture with low, horizontal lines. Edges are crisp, planting is sculptural and shade comes from a slatted pergola or a cantilevered umbrella rather than a solid roof.
What to look for
- The paving material and how its joints are handled
- Whether the furniture footprint fits with room to move
- Shade at 4 pm, not just at noon
