Thatched Timber Pergola with Cushioned Daybeds
A thatched timber pergola shelters neutral cushioned daybeds beside a stone-coped swimming pool, set amid green tropical planting, tall palms, and a wood-clad house overlooking the ocean.
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
