Large Pergolas: A Perfect Choice to Transform an Outdoor Space

Last Updated on June 19, 2024

When it comes to transforming your outdoor space, nothing compares to the elegance and functionality of a large pergola. These stunning structures not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of a residential or commercial space but also provide a versatile solution for creating a comfortable and stylish outdoor living area. Whether you’re looking to entertain guests, create a serene retreat, or extend your living space, a large pergola is the perfect choice.

Embrace the Outdoors with a Large Pergola

Common patio cover sizes often fall short when accommodating larger gatherings or creating distinct outdoor spaces. Their limited size can restrict your ability to host events, set up various activity areas, or fully enjoy the potential of your backyard.

Do Pergola Kit work for Large Spaces?

Pergola kits, which typically come in standard sizes like 10×10 or 10×15, although budget friendly, are often not big enough for larger outdoor spaces. But what is a pergola kit? A pergola kit usually includes pre-cut and pre-drilled materials, making it easier for DIY installation, but it may not offer the customization needed for larger, more complex spaces.

This is where large custom pergolas, particularly those made of durable aluminum, come in as the ideal solution. Crafted from high-quality, weather-resistant aluminum, these expansive structures offer ample space for dining, lounging, and entertaining, making them perfect for homeowners with grand outdoor visions. While they can also be used in commercial settings, their benefits truly shine in residential applications. A large aluminum pergola can seamlessly integrate multiple functions into your outdoor space, enhancing both its utility and beauty.

Perfect for the American Backyard: Custom Large Pergolas vs. standard sizes

While standard size pergolas offer a convenient solution, they often lack the flexibility to truly complement the scale and style of American backyards. American homes tend to have larger outdoor spaces compared to their European counterparts. This is where custom large pergolas shine. A custom-designed pergola can be tailored to perfectly fit your expansive backyard, creating a seamless extension of your living area. You can choose from a wide range of American pergola styles, including traditional gabled designs, contemporary flat roofs, or even pergolas with integrated sailcloth shades. This level of customization ensures your pergola complements your home’s architecture and creates a statement piece that reflects your unique style.

Large, Custom-Built Pergola Benefits: Craft Your Dream Outdoor Space

Large, custom-built pergolas offer a unique opportunity to transform your outdoor space into a luxurious and functional extension of your home. Unlike pre-fabricated pergolas with limitations in size and design, custom pergolas can be designed to truly impress with grand dimensions by combining and connecting several custom zones. Imagine pergolas sprawling over 1,600 square feet, reaching expansive lengths of 80 feet by 90 feet, or accommodating any other grand vision you have in mind.

  • Perfect Fit & Unmatched Customization: Custom designs ensure a perfect fit for your space. This considers your patio or yard’s size, shape, and layout. You have complete control over the design.
  • Superior Durability & Weather Resistance: Custom pergolas are built with your choice of high-quality materials, often including weather-resistant features.
  • Enhanced Functionality & Usable Space: Large pergolas create a significant amount of usable covered space to incorporate built-in seating, outdoor kitchens, or firepits.
  • Increased Home Value: A well-designed and constructed pergola permanently improves your property, increasing its curb appeal and market value.
  • Personal Touches & Distinctive Style: A custom design allows you to incorporate unique features that reflect your style. These could include decorative beams, custom colors, integrated planters, sound systems, or special touches like lighting.
  • Unmatched Comfort & Sun Control: You can customize the level of sun control with adjustable louvers or retractable shade panels.
  • For All Seasons: Made from high-quality, weather-resistant aluminum, our pergolas can withstand the elements year-round.

Custom Height: A Key Consideration for Large Pergolas

While size is certainly a defining factor in large pergolas, don’t underestimate the importance of custom height. A well-proportioned pergola height creates a sense of openness and grandeur, especially in expansive structures. During the design process, your pergola builder will factor in your pergola’s overall size, the space’s intended use, and your surrounding architecture to determine the optimal height. For instance, a large pergola designed for outdoor entertaining may benefit from a higher clearance to accommodate large furniture or hammocks, while a pergola nestled close to your home might call for a more complementary height that integrates seamlessly with the existing structure.

Our pergolas come in custom sizes to fit any space, allowing you to create a structure that perfectly reflects your style and needs. With a wide range of customization options, add features like fans, screens, LED lighting, and heaters to transform your outdoor space into a uniquely yours.
