Brick Pergola with Sunken Fire Pit
A dark wood pergola attached to a brick house shades a sunken stone fire pit lounge, steps from a curved pool.
Design notes
Classic pergolas have heavier timber, chamfered or notched rafter tails, and often a climbing vine — wisteria, grape, roses — that makes the structure disappear in summer. They suit brick and stone houses and traditional garden layouts.
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
