Attached Pergola Over Stone Dining Patio
An attached pergola draped with flowering vines shelters a wooden dining set on a stone patio outside a half-timbered Tudor home featuring steep gables, leaded glass windows, and brick chimneys.
Design notes
Tudor design answers the house. Look for half-timbered gables and tall chimneys echoed in dark timber pergolas and arbours, herringbone brick and flagstone terraces, low stone walls, and hedges of yew and box that give the garden formal rooms near the house before it loosens into roses, wisteria and lawn. Leaded glass, copper lanterns and a slightly storybook proportion keep the look coherent.
What to look for
- Clearance under the beams — 8 to 10 feet feels right
- Slat spacing and orientation against the afternoon sun
- Posts placed outside the furniture, never through it
