No. 5 Pergolas · Tropical

Cedar Pergola Sheltering Poolside Daybeds

Set poolside on stone pavers, this cedar pergola with a ceiling fan covers two neutral daybeds beside palm trees and a cream stucco house under clear daylight.

Design notes

Tropical pergolas add thatch, bamboo screening or dense vines for real shade, with ceiling fans and warm timber underneath. They work best beside water and planting, as an outdoor living room rather than a walkway.

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
