Gold Coast pergolas

What is a pergola?
A pergola is an outdoor construct that involves columns which creates a shaded space for usually a deck or pathway. There are pillars that generally support crossbeams and a sturdy open lattice. This is the perfect structure to grow and train vines to finish the look. This particular roofing is known to stay open or get covered up. Furthermore, pergolas can either be attached or detached from a building/home.
