Maybe you just want to add a feature to your garden that will add a shaded space for you to relax and enjoy your outdoor space in comfort. Sometimes the addition of just a little bit of shade will make the difference in making your outdoor space feel more like your indoor living space. If your yard or garden is currently lacking shade, you may want to consider adding a pergola.
