How Does a Pergola Differ from an Arbour?

Any kitchen or bathroom renovations that you carry out in your Sydney property will undoubtedly make your life more convenient. In many cases, these renovations will enhance the visual appeal of your home interiors as well. But, these additions will also have another significant impact.

In case you ever decide to sell the property, they will be useful in helping you obtain a higher price. Similarly, when you build decks or pergolas, these structures will serve to make your life easier and more comfortable. But, they will enhance the resale value of your property too.

Many people use the terms ‘arbour’ and ‘pergola’ interchangeably. This could be because both structures feature similar designs. However, minor differences exist in both structures that differentiate one from the other. Pergolas will usually be much larger than arbours. This enables them to cover entire walkways and living spaces. In contrast, arbours tend to be much smaller. So, they will usually cover only a small space. In addition, they could serve to act as entrances or gateways to specific parts of the property. It is quite likely that builders could make identical arbours and pergolas. But, it is worth highlighting that pergolas will invariably be longer and wider than arbours.

Pergolas and arbours also differ in their seating arrangements. The former can cover entire seating and patio areas. As such, you could set up chairs and tables beneath the pergola to get some respite from the sun. In contrast, the latter are much smaller. As such, only one or two people can sit beneath arbours at a time. In addition, some arbours could feature trellises on either side. The presence of the trellis enables plants to climb up and over the arbour. Pergolas might feature trellises as well. But, in many cases, the home builders will find the pergola to be too large for the trellis to cover completely.
