Timber Pergola Sheltering Hot Tub and Shower

At dusk, overhead lighting illuminates a timber pergola sheltering a steaming hot tub, stone paving, green ferns, and an outdoor shower set against an ipe slatted privacy screen.

Design notes

Modern pergolas are all about the slat: evenly spaced rafters in aluminium, steel or clear cedar, square posts set outside the furniture footprint and, increasingly, louvered roofs that close against rain. Finishes are black, white or natural timber with no ornament.

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
