A Pergola is a structure that is used as a shade, in an open space on the ground. It is also called a tent or a porch. Pergolas can be built in different sizes and varieties. Cedar Pergolas are known to be durable and can last for ages. The great red western Cedar is known to have a fragrance when newly used, that can soothe the mind. Cedar Pergolas are these days preferred than the conventional store ones, due to two reasons…they are durable and are light so can be moved from one place to another.

Typically a cedar pergola well maintained can last for ages in dry weather. Even in rough weather the wood can last typically for 40-50 yrs if maintained and polished. Typically one can find the cedar pergolas in different shapes and sizes. A typical one is like a tent, another one with horizontal beams placed over one another with a wooden framework to support it and this can look wonderful. They can be used just as a porch or even like a shade in open sun in the yard, for a great coffee table to be housed inside.

The next question that would arise in mind would be what would be the maintenance cost. One can select cedar wood and then decide on the nature of the design, as to how to build the pergola; one can simply build an arch of stone and have cedar wood to do the interiors that will work well. Apart from this one may also use a wooden grill for a closed pergola. The windows can be bent and wooden tapestries can hang to give it a spacious yet trendy look. Typically this can be used if one is extremely artistic, or if one houses art exhibits made of wood. For more tips and ideas on pergolas visit us at www.PergolaDesignIdeas.com.
