Decorating your arbor or pergola with lights and accessories.
In our previous entry, we discussed decorating your arbor, pergola or patio cover with various types of climbing plants as well as hanging plants from the exterior beams.
There are other ways to decorate your new addition to your home as well.
As an aside, you might consider going with a patio cover instead of a arbor or pergola. With it's solid roof (of stained cedar or shingled to match your existing roof) it not only provides 100% shade, but offers much more latitude for branching out your design and architecture ideas. One of these areas is gable decoration. Here are some examples of gable decorations Hundt Construction offers.
A decoration idea that can be important to both pergolas and arbors is lighting. One popular option in this part of the country is a ceiling fan / light combo in the center of your structure. Another lighting option is rope lighting or strings of lights.
Outdoor wicker furniture, a round center table and weather resistant outdoor cushions can turn your backyard or patio into another room for your home.
Finally, weather resistant drapes are a popular choice. Drapes can be gathered and tied at the corners when you want to let the breeze through and released and spread out to provide more shade or block a breeze during a meal or when the weather is cool.
