Pergola Plans Attached To House: 10 Projects examples

Pergolas have a long history dating back to ancient Egyptian times. For many years, they simply provided shade from the intense sun. While you can still buy a pergola that protects from the sun’s rays, manufacturers, such as Azenco, have modernized the structure with integrated smart features that enable outdoor living in windy, rainy, or snowy weather. As a result, today’s homeowners install pergolas to create all-weather outdoor living spaces that compliment any architectural style. When building a pergola, one thing to think about is whether you want it attached to your house or set up as a standalone structure. Keep in mind that one of the best ways to seamlessly connect your indoor and outdoor living spaces is to attach the pergola to your home. Azenco manufactures pergolas that can be mounted to your house or be erected as freestanding structures, but for this article we’ll spotlight ten pergola plans attached to the house. Block the elements with a pergola attached to a home Homeowners turn to house-mounted pergolas to make their patios or decks an extension of their indoor living space. When a pergola is attached to your home, you can breeze from inside to outside without considering the weather. For example, let’s say you planned to enjoy a meal on your patio or deck, but the weather didn’t get the memo, and it’s started to pour. With a pergola attached to your home, you can still enjoy the outdoors without getting wet. Keep party plans intact even when the weather won’t cooperate A pergola attached to your home gives you more space to entertain even in imperfect conditions. It can be frustrating to spend time planning an outdoor party only to find the weather has other plans. Wind and rain ruin decorations and make it uncomfortable to relax outdoors. An Azenco pergola attached to your home can eliminate those woes especially with our automated wind, rain, and heat sensors that intuitively open and close the louvered roof while you focus on entertaining. Installing an Azenco pergola truly extends your living space in every season by providing shade from the sun, as well as peace of mind to your entertainment plans. Azenco pergola plans attached to house When designing our pergolas, we consider the vast home architectural styles. Azenco pergolas feature hidden assembly hardware to deliver clean lines that complement any type of home, from traditional to modern and all architectural styles in between. When you choose one of our aluminum pergolas, you can feel confident it will fit seamlessly into your home design. With choices between an Azenco fixed-roof or louvered-roof pergola, your outdoor living space can provide the all-weather flexibility your lifestyle demands. Azenco R-Shade fixed-roof pergola plans attached to house The Azenco R-Shade is a fixed-roof pergola with insulating sandwich panels that help regulate the temperature in your outdoor living space, boosting your comfort when outside. Designed to fit any outdoor space and complement all styles of architecture, the R-Shade may be attached to your home to enhance your deck or patio with elegant clean lines and gorgeous style. Engineered to be waterproof and wind-resistant, you can be sure the R-Shade will stand strong in all kinds of weather. The R-Shade protects you from the intense midday sun, rain showers, and snowfall, perfectly extending your living area for use in any weather condition. It is also important to note that the R-Shade’s water evacuation is almost invisible, flowing directly through each post to drain water away from the living space. Suppose you’re looking to create an outdoor oasis with your Azenco pergola. In that case, you can customize the R-Shade with an array of options, including solar and insect screens, LED lighting (spots or rail), a beam to mount a ceiling fan, an array of powder-coated finishes, and decorative corbel ends. If you’re exploring alternate ways to generate electricity, you can customize the R-Shade with solar panels to power LEDs or embedded outlets. Azenco R-Blade bioclimatic pergola with louvered roof Another option for pergola plans attached to house is the modular, adaptable, and impressive Azenco R-Blade. This bioclimatic pergola features a motorized roof with twin-wall aluminum louvers. The R-Blade’s automatic roof system means better climate management, so you can move from indoor to outdoor living in comfort and style. The R-Blade automatically closes when it detects rain and automatically opens on windy days to prevent damage from updrafts. A truly unique feature of the R-Blade is that it is weather sealed, providing protection when the sun is blazing, and keeping your outdoor living space completely dry in the rain or snow. If you’re looking to create a luxurious outdoor experience, the R-Blade will be an excellent addition to your deck or patio. You can also further customize R-Blade to meet your particular lifestyle by adding options such as an infrared heating system to offset a late-season chill, LED lighting (spots or rail) to keep the party going into the night, or solar and insect screens to block prying eyes and buzzing visitors. Adding a pergola enhances your lifestyle Installing a pergola to your deck or patio enables you to get the most out of your outdoor space, regardless of wind, rain, and blaring sun. We hope these pergola plans attached to house featuring Azenco designs inspire you to make the most of your outdoor living space, and invite you to contact us to learn more about how an Azenco pergola can enhance your time outside.

Differences Between Outdoor Structures: Pergola vs Trellis, Arbors and Gazebos.

The terms arbor, trellis, pergola and gazebo are often used interchangeably, but they are actually very different types of outdoor structures. Understanding the difference between these outdoor structures will help you chose the right one, or the right combination, for your dream outdoor living space. Pergola vs trellis: Which one creates a usable outdoor living space? A pergola is an open structure that is supported by pillars featuring a fixed roof or an adjustable louvered roof to provide shade. It can be freestanding or attached to a home. Modern pergolas can transform your open deck or patio into an all-weather outdoor living space with features that can make outdoor living more comfortable. For instance, Azenco manufactures pergolas that can be used in various types of weather and can protect from rain, wind, sun exposure and even snow. Pergola, with motorized louvered roof On the other hand, a trellis does not protect from the elements. It is a decorative structure that allows vines and flowers, such as climbing roses, to grow vertically. Vegetable gardeners often use trellises to support fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, peas, grapes and other types of plants. Deserted black archway covered in numerous plants during autumn If you plan to incorporate climbing plants, fruits or vegetables into your outdoor living space, you can opt for a pergola with trellised support posts that add a decorative touch and provide a home for this type of vegetation. Pergola vs arbor: How to tell the difference between the structures As we mentioned previously, a pergola extends your usable living space into your yard or other outdoor areas. Outfitted with a fixed roof or an adjustable louvered roof, pergolas are able to seal out the rain to make an all-weather outdoor entertainment or relaxation space, and even add some real value to your home. Views of a pergola attached to the house Arbors are not patio covers. They are typically smaller than pergolas and with their exposed design lack protection from the elements. These standalone structures often act as an entrance to a garden or yard. Consider them more of an inviting design element to define where a garden or greenspace begins. You may come across these structures at residences or public spaces such as parks and botanical centers, or you might see an arbor at a wedding under which the couple exchanges their vows. Arbors add ambiance and beauty that can be enhanced with airy fabric, greenery or flowers, but are not designed to protect from the weather. Two types of arbors Like an arbor, you may find a gazebo in residential backyards or serving as the central element of the quintessential town common. Shaped like a hexagon or octagon, these open structures with static roofs, are sometimes used as bandstands and may be referred to as “pavilions.” In residential settings, homeowners may install gazebos set back from their homes or in a garden, and the structures serve as semi-private areas for practicing yoga, meditating, reading or simply relaxing. In England, gazebos were often the setting for afternoon tea, while in Japan, gazebos are also known as tea houses. Pergola vs arbor vs trellis home design takeaways Arbors, trellises, pergolas and gazebos all have a place in outdoor home design. Whether you choose to install a pegola vs. trellis vs. arbor or gazebo or combine them to satisfy your unique design dreams depends on the intended purpose of your outdoor living space. If you’re looking to make your deck, patio or yard into an all-weather outdoor space that can protect you and your family from sun, rain, wind or snow, then a pergola will do the trick. A arbor, trellis, pergola or gazebo can add interesting design elements and impart some ambiance to your property, but a pergola with some modern features such as Azenco’s R-Blade or R-Shade is far more functional, durable and comfortable. What are some modern design features of pergolas? Modern pergolas can range from static shade solutions to truly high-tech motorized structures. Azenco manufacturers modern pergolas with features designed to increase your comfort when outdoors. For instance, our insulated fixed-roof pergola, the Azenco R-Shade, is waterproof and wind-resistant. The R-Shade is customized to fit into a variety of outdoor spaces and its sleek lines complement all styles of architecture. Pergola with an insulated sandwich panel roof Azenco’s R-Blade Pergola features the market’s only weather-sealed, adjustable louvered roof. It opens and closes at the touch of a button. This unique design is made with dual-wall aluminum louvers that ensure a perfect weather seal when closed and features an invisible gutter system built into the posts to drain rainwater and keep the pergola area, and those relaxing beneath it, dry. The R-Blade can be outfitted with integrated LED lighting, or an intuitive sensor array that automatically close the louvered roof at the first sign of rain and opens the roof to prevent damage in freezing conditions.

Choosing Between A Pergola And A Patio Awning

If you love spending time outdoors, a patio or a deck can be a great investment for your home. If you want to enjoy that new outdoor space without worrying about lathering on sunscreen every time you step into the backyard, then you’ll also need a shade covering for that new outdoor living space. Incorporating a patio awning or pergola into the patio or deck project will help make the space suitable for use regardless of how hot the sun decides to blaze that day. When planning to incorporate an awning or pergola with a patio or deck project, you can often streamline the installation timeline, and possibly realize some savings, by bundling the components with a single contractor. Understanding Pergolas Let’s explore some options in detail. A pergola is a permanent structure that will be firmly rooted to the ground once installed. Pergolas can be mounted to the side of the home with just two support columns, or designed as free-standing structures fully detached from the home. A pergola can immediately enhance your home’s exterior décor with a new centerpiece to house intimate gatherings. Some pergolas exude traditional or contemporary looks, while others can cross the design divide and seamlessly fit into the aesthetics of any architectural style. Reasons to Choose A Pergola A pergola is perfect if you want to ensure the perfect balance of shade while extending your outdoor living space for truly all-weather use. Talk to your local pergola experts (or ask us to connect you with one of our qualified local Azenco dealers) for guidance on the right size, style, design and feature set for a pergola to suit your home and outdoor lifestyle. A Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Connection or A Stand-Alone Structure Both a patio awning and an attached pergola can be designed to create a seamless extension of the indoor living space. By mounting the shade structure to the home, the cool breeze of the outdoors is only a sliding door away at any time. Compared to a patio awning, the pergola does offer more flexibility. While a patio awning can be retracted, they are either fully open or completely closed. Choosing an adjustable louvered roof for your pergola allows you to open the roof for full sun, close down the louvers to control the amount of shade or close the roof completely for a weather-tight seal in the rain and snow. Designed as a separate structure from your house, a pergola can bring this level of control to a private space separate from your home where you can relax peacefully. To make the stand-alone pergola a truly seamless extension of your home or garden, you can easily add hanging lights, ceiling fans and even planters, hanging pots, or vines of flowers. A truly all-weather pergola offers the same relaxing space that you would expect of your living room, but with the added benefit of natural light and cooling breezes. Look Great In Any Setting Another reason to choose a pergola is to enhance your home’s overall architectural look. Pergolas can be made of wood, aluminum or fiberglass. Material selection will depend on which material will best compliment your home while also ensuring durability and longevity of the structure. For homeowners that want to ensure the longest life for their pergolas, aluminum is the ideal choice.. Understanding Awnings An awning is a fabric-like shade over a door or window that needs to be installed on an exterior wall or independent posts for support, and usually feature either a retracting mechanism or an aluminum tube frame over which the awning is permanently secured. For example, the bakeries, small cafes, and department stores along your local downtown promenade often feature awnings over doors and windows, or you may see retractable awnings attached to motor homes at the campground. An awning can be a cost-effective option, though it’s important to balance the benefits and constraints of the design with how you intend to use your new patio or deck. While awnings are relatively easy to install, they often require regular cleaning. The retractable awning does allow you to close the shade when you aren’t using the space, which is often recommended to protect from damage. Should You Get A Patio Awning or a Pergola? Patio awnings come in various sizes and shapes. Even though a patio awning also provides shade from the sun and can accent the design of home and business exteriors in much the same way a pergola does, awnings come with some unique challenges for the homeowner. While the fabric awning can quickly improve a structure’s appearance, even have a transformative effect without a significant investment, they do not offer the same flexibility that an adjustable louvered roof pergola can, nor the long-term return on investment.
