What is a pergola?

A pergola is an outdoor structure that serves as a shaded area intended for recreational activities or additional passageway. The earliest concept of a pergola dates as far back in Ancient Egypt. But there was a debate for the purpose of pergola origination. No one knows whether they were designed for aesthetic or for minimizing the effect of the weather. Most people hold this opinion that the Egyptians used the small covered pergola for growing figs and house vines. Meanwhile, the Chinese used pergolas as sunshade for their temples and housing.

How does a pergola provide shade?

The purpose of properly designed small covered pergola is to provide shade and also sunlight. If the suns directly overhead then there won’t be any shade but any other time of the day it will provide varying degrees of shade. If the slats are laid out so the sun crosses them and doesn’t follow them and if they are not too far apart the small covered pergola will provide ample shade.

Should you attach pergola to a house?

If you want it for your own pleasure, get any permits and proceed. If you wonder if it will add value to your home the answer is that the added value will likely be less than the cost of the work.

Can I put a ceiling fan in a pergola?

Yes, you just need to run the power. Get a fan that is outdoor rated. Ideally a bigger fan like a 66 inch or 72 inch. The blades turn slower and it is more relaxing, like you are in the Caribbean at a resort drinking margaritas. Don’t buy some 36” fan. The blades even on slow turn quickly. Watching them is like having espresso coffee. The other big plus besides moving air is that bugs don't like air blowing. They will go away.
