Install A Pergola and Enjoy Your Dallas Garden
With rising global temperature spending time in your garden is becoming more challenging. One way is to add additional shade. Installing a pergola is cost-effective and adds interest as well as a shady outside space. A pergola is the way to go when you want to make the most out of your garden or backyard.
A pergola provides shade from the hot sun and somewhere you can meet up with friends and family in comfort. If you enjoy growing climbing plants, a pergola makes a great addition to your yard. Climbers love to scramble up pergolas and will even cover the roof.

How Much Does a Pergola Cost?
The best way to budget for a pergola is to estimate the price per square foot. The total cost depends very much on the design and the size of the project. Using specialist materials such as cedarwood adds extra cost. A basic price estimate is around $30 per square foot.
Most homeowners who contact the team at DFW Fence Contractor ask us to help them design and install customized pergolas. This is really what we specialize in. Our goal is always to make sure our customers end up with a pergola that suits their needs.

What Is The Difference Between a Pergola and a Gazebo?
That is a good question.
Pergola
A pergola is a garden feature that provides a shady area covering a walkway or a pre-existing patio area. It consists of posts and pillars with support beams. You can choose in between an open beamed roof or an enclosed gabled roof. Both designs are popular. A pergola is often attached to the home, but it can also be a free-standing structure covering a walkway. Pergolas are budget-friendly and take less time to construct than gazebos are more solid structures.
Gazebo
A gazebo is a much more free-standing structure. They are often built like pavilions that you see in parks and other public areas. In parks, they are used to host events and music performances. Gazebos are okay, but they are not as flexible structures as pergolas. In many ways, they are much more formal. Compared to pergolas, gazebos also take longer to construct.
