Attached Pergola Ideas, explained.
An attached pergola is the simplest way to add an outdoor room: one side borrows the house, the structure shades the doors and the covered space becomes an extension of the kitchen or living room.
Look at the ledger connection and at how each pergola meets the eaves, gutters and windows. The most successful ones repeat the house's materials or its trim colour. Save the attachments that look like they were always there.
What to look for as you browse
- 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
