No. 28 Pergolas · Rustic

Attached Pergola with Blooming Wisteria

At dusk, an attached pergola draped in purple wisteria vines spans a flagstone patio with a rustic timber dining table and benches illuminated by warm string lights.

Design notes

Rustic pergolas use rough-sawn beams, peeled posts or reclaimed timber, sometimes on stacked-stone piers. The proportions are generous and the shade is dappled, with string lights or lanterns for evenings.

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
