Jasmine-Covered Pergola Over Outdoor Dining
At dusk, hanging lanterns illuminate a wooden dining set beneath a dark timber pergola covered in flowering jasmine vines, surrounded by a gravel courtyard, agaves, and stucco walls.
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
