The Benefits of Having a Pergola in the Backyard of your Melbourne Home

In Melbourne, pergolas are a great feature that many home owners have added to their backyard – and sometimes even their front yard. In fact, they are becoming  increasing popular.  This is because pergolas have many advantages and benefits.  They set the mood, create privacy and  shade, designate dining areas and look picturesque in gardens.

Wanting to know more about pergolas and how they can enhance your lifestyle? If so, we have put together an overview of the main benefits of pergolas:

1. Extension to the Outdoors

Continue the natural flow of your home’s layout by adding a pergola. Living well doesn’t solely exist inside.  Maximise your living area potential without undergoing major renovations.  

Even better, enjoy the natural beauty of your garden and outdoor areas, whilst spending time with loved ones and friends under a pergola. 

Or simply unwind after a long day at work and enjoy the health benefits of spending time outdoors without having to leave home.

2. A Pergola creates a Defined Area

A pergola can transform your outdoor space into a functional, shaded area for relaxing or entertaining. You don’t need a large backyard to install a stylish pergola or to make visual impact. 

In fact, adding a pergola to your deck or patio can make your backyard space feel bigger. A pergola creates a defined space, and is an ideal space for an alfresco kitchen, to go along with an outdoor dining setting.

3. Increase the Value of your Home by adding a Pergola.

Installing a pergola will increase the value of your home.  Outdoor living is becoming an increasingly popular trend for many Melbourne homeowners. 

 Add the extra living space without the price tag or mess and fuss of a renovation.  This improvement is just a fraction of the cost. A pergola is an appealing structure for potential buyers, it will set your home apart from others on the market. 

Even better add an outdoor fireplace to enjoy your pergola through Melbourne’s cold winters.
