About this collection
Pergola Lighting Ideas, explained.
A pergola is the easiest structure in the yard to light, because the beams are already there. These designs run string lights through the rafters, hang a chandelier over the table, or hide LED strips along the top of each beam.
Keep every light warm and dimmable, and put the switch by the back door. Save the pergolas whose evening mood you want, and plan the wiring while the posts are still being set.
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
