Building a home improvement project with timber allows you more flexibility with your design so you can create the exact look you’re after. Timber pergolas have been adorning homes since as early as the 15th century. The term ‘pergola’ itself is taken from a Latin term meaning ‘a projecting eave.’ Despite briefly falling out of fashion in the 18th and 19th centuries, this outdoor extension has returned to fashion and is now considered one of the features most sought-after by homebuyers. A quality timber pergola can help to create usable areas in space that would otherwise be left blank in your backyard. The right pergola can define how you use the space; whether for outdoor dining, entertaining guests or enjoying a moment of solitude.
