Timber Pergola Sheltering Stone Dining Patio
At night, a heavy timber pergola equipped with string lights and a metal chandelier shelters a wooden dining set on a flagstone patio beside a glowing stone fire pit.
Design notes
Classic pergolas have heavier timber, chamfered or notched rafter tails, and often a climbing vine — wisteria, grape, roses — that makes the structure disappear in summer. They suit brick and stone houses and traditional garden layouts.
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
