Relaxing poolside brings peace and a sense of serenity. Including a pergola or covered poolside area will elevate your outdoor space to be more enjoyable. Poolside pergolas can help provide comfort and style to any style of home. Many homeowners want their homes to be comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Choosing a pergola is a great way to add value to your home, monetary and visual appeal.
1- Open Air Pergolas
Open-air poolside pergolas are the most common option for poolside coverings. These are open on all four sides and often have a retractable canopy. This allows poolside dwellers to choose when they have shade and when they have sun. Open pergolas also allow better airflow than other options, which can help you enjoy the outdoors for longer.
Typically, these pergolas are made of weather-resistant materials like aluminum or cedar wood. Using these materials will keep your pergola durable throughout different seasons. If you want your pool to feel more luxurious, add some curtains or drapes that will sway in the breeze.
2- Pergolas Covered In Climbing Plants
Helping a poolside pergola blend into the surrounding landscape is a great option when installing it poolside. A natural shaded space with climbing plants will feel very natural. Try out plants like wisteria, jasmine, or grapevines that will weave around the structure.
You can also integrate hanging planters or flower boxes to add additional color. Choose plants that fit your home design or colors that fit the season. A sturdy wooden frame that will support the growing plants will be necessary to keep your pergola functional.
3- Sombrero Pergolas
These pergolas can be attached to the home, pool house, or garage, or they can be freestanding. These give you the most range of flexibility from any of the options on this list. Sombrero pergolas can be made in any size customization and have open spaces where perpendicular slates don’t cross. Poolside pergolas should offer a combination of sun and shade, which makes sombrero kits a top option.
4- Poolside Pavilion Cooking Space
Many people want to utilize their poolside space as a bar, kitchen, or BBQ space. Pergolas can incorporate an island or kitchen to help you entertain poolside. Pergolas with an attached seating space, grill, and countertop will provide multiple benefits.
After a long day in the pool, having a convenient cooking and hang-out space will save energy. Stainless steel or tile are the most popular materials utilized to build cooking poolside pergolas.
5- Modern And Sleek Coverings
Elevate your poolside space with a modern pergola design made of clean lines and sleek colors. Choosing neutral colors like black, gray, and white will help you achieve a modern aesthetic for your outdoor area.
Powdered-coated metal, painted wood, or aluminum are going to be the best materials to keep your space feeling modern. If your pool feels modern, adding a matching pergola will complement the space. Add hanging lights or built-in speakers to take the shading option to the next level.
6- Pergolas With Water Features
Adding more tranquility to your outdoor space can be done with added water features. A waterfall or fountain added to the pergola design will create a more relaxing vibe when you are not in the pool. Stone or tile is the best material for water features as they are durable against water and look the most natural.
Pergolas with water features will need to have extra structural support. This could add to the overall cost making it an expensive shading option. Depending on your needs, you may be able to splurge more on a pergola if your pool feels too basic.
