Pergola over garage

A Pergola is an excellent option to a garage door, and is a simple and easy way to enhance the entrance to a garage door. It adds charm, character and curb appeal to a home especially if it is covered by trailing plants. It gives a feel of a covered area or passage way and a third dimension to an otherwise boring entrance.

There are various options for pergola ranging from wood, vinyl and metal frame structures. A pergola does not have to be expensive to make it attractive. The pergola itself may not be the center of attention, but the addition of trailing plants and hanging floral pots will make the look more interesting and focal point.
