Lakeside Cedar Pergola with Hanging Swing
During evening, a weathered cedar pergola shelters a suspended swing beside a stone fire pit on a grey timber deck bordered by potted ferns and lakeside plantings.
Design notes
Rustic pergolas use rough-sawn beams, peeled posts or reclaimed timber, sometimes on stacked-stone piers. The proportions are generous and the shade is dappled, with string lights or lanterns for evenings.
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
