No. 42 Pergolas · Mountain & Cabin
Attached Timber Pergola on Stone Patio
Outside a modern mountain home, an attached pergola crafted with dark timber shelters an outdoor dining set on a stone patio, surrounded by wildflowers, pines, and an expansive mountain view at dusk.
Design notes
Mountain and cabin design lets the landscape lead. Look for heavy timber and log, stacked stone and boulders, steel and dark stains that recede against the trees, and decks and terraces that reach toward the view. Fire is central — a stone fireplace, a fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs — and hot tubs earn their place. Planting is pines, aspens, grasses and wildflowers; paving is flagstone and gravel that can take the snow.
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
