No. 109 Pergolas · Modern Farmhouse
Timber Gazebo with Metal Roof
A timber gazebo with a charcoal metal roof shelters a stone fire pit and lounge chairs on flagstone paving beside a modern white board-and-batten house surrounded by gravel and ornamental grasses.
Design notes
Modern farmhouse design keeps things honest: white board-and-batten or painted brick, black-framed windows and doors, standing-seam metal roofs, cedar posts and beams. Outside, that means gravel and bluestone rather than fancy paving, a big lawn, raised beds, a porch or pavilion with a fan, and simple furniture in black or natural wood. Lighting is gooseneck barn lights and warm string lights, never anything glossy.
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
