What’s the Best Residential Pergola Size?

 

What’s the best home pergola size? Our pergola design professionals answer this question frequently. The ideal pergola size for your home depends on how you want to use your outdoor living space. Making sure you choose the correct pergola size, including pergola length and width, height/headroom, and square footage, is one of the most important things you can do to ensure lasting enjoyment of your new pergola system. How can you make sure your custom pergola is designed to meet your needs?

Pergola Size Considerations

●       Am I better with a taller or shorter pergola height?

You may experience clearance issues with shorter pergolas. However, if your pergola is too tall, you could also find yourself lacking adequate sun and rain protection, as the height and angle of a taller pergola roof allow in more sunlight/rain. Where’s the sweet spot between headroom and weather protection? We recommend a pergola height between 9-9.5 feet as the best height to be comfortable and protected from the elements.

●       How much square footage do I need?

Your yard size and the way you plan to use your outdoor space ultimately impact pergola size. As with residential pergola height, getting it right is essential. A pergola that is too large will feel vacuous and impersonal. A space that is too small will feel cramped by furniture and appliances, making movement difficult. If you’re unsure how much space you need, talk to a Denver Pergolas design professional. We can help you determine the perfect amount of space, whether you’re looking to create a covered outdoor kitchen, dining area, living room, sundeck, or multi-use space.

●       What’s the maximum StruXure custom pergola size?

Our largest single zone louvered pergola system measures 12 ft by 20 ft long. However, we can connect as many zones as needed to cover your space. Providing patio shelter across wider expanses is not an issue.

StruXure Pergolas are Anything But Cookie Cutter

With our home pergolas, you’ll never have to conform your design to standard sizing. Our custom pergolas can be created to meet your precise needs, serving as the linchpin of your patio design and ensuring you can enjoy your outdoor living space, rain or shine. We offer a multitude of customizable options to help you make the most of your outdoor living space, including:

●       Freestanding and attached pergola systems

●       Single or multi-zone designs

●       Custom colors and trim

●       MyLink app or remote operation with 170-degrees of rotational flexibility for the perfect amount of sun, shade, or shelter

●       Built-in accessories like lighting, ceiling fans, motorized screens, and more

Tips for a Successful Backyard Staycation

After over a year of pandemic-related drama, it’s time for some much-needed rest and relaxation. You’ve got your new home pergola installed, and you’ve requested time off from work. But a successful vacation involves more simply not working. To fully recharge and get the most out of your staycation, you’ve got to get yourself - and your home - into vacation mode. Fortunately, with a bit of preparation and the right mindset, you can plan a restful, relaxing backyard staycation.

Address Housework and Business in Advance

Before your staycation begins, start with a clean slate, tidying your home and yard. Let extended family and coworkers know you will be off the grid during your time off. Have a plan in place to handle unexpected visitors or phone calls so that they don't detract from your staycation experience.

Look at Your Outdoor Living Space from a Different Point of View

A shift in perspective has allowed you to turn your backyard into something new, creating an outdoor escape beneath the comfort of your adjustable aluminum pergola. Planning your daily vacation schedule from a fresh perspective can also help you change the familiarity of your everyday life into something new. Instead of your usual daily grind, plan your staycation experience just like you would a typical vacation, outlining how you would like to spend your time off.

Import a Luxury Resort-Like Vibe

A plush outdoor sectional, cushy loungers, standing hammocks, or an outoor daybed beneath your adjustable pergola offer the perfect spot to kickback. A dining set, side tables, and tray tables provide the perfect place to enjoy a drink or a snack as you unwind.

Plan Your Epicurean Experience

Decide your dining plans in advance, splurging on your favorite foods. Cook and eat outdoors in your new, custom, pergola-covered outdoor kitchen and dining area. Download your favorite cooking shows, preparing your own gourmet meals. Plan a wine, beer, or liquor tasting, pairing spirits with your menu. Prefer not to spend your vacation cooking? Plan to have meals delivered daily from your favorite restaurants, dining al fresco in the comfort of your backyard.

Schedule a Spa Experience

Have a professional massage therapist or aesthetician come to your house. Schedule a Swedish or hot stone massage, facials, foot rub, and pedicure outside in the fresh air, beneath the comfort of your residential pergola. Slide motorized curtains and screens into place for privacy, opening louvers for ventilation. Outside, amidst the beauty of nature, is the perfect space to sit back, relax, and enjoy being pampered.

Put Family Fun on the Agenda

Plan a family game day. Play board games like giant Jenga and checkers for fun, or advertise a ping pong or a bean bag toss competition with fun and exciting prizes. Follow with an outdoor movie night, making s’mores on your grill or firepit. Retire for the night with your kids, camping under the stars beneath your home pergola. It’s the little things like doing fun family activities outdoors that make lasting memories.

Normal vacations aren’t quite back on the horizon - but you can still have a fantastic holiday at home. Since you’re not spending on excursions, why not reinvest those funds in a backyard that’s more fun and enjoyable, creating a backyard vacation paradise that will provide a relaxing retreat for your family for years to come. Start designing your dream outdoor living space with help from Denver Pergola Systems today.
