HOW TO ENJOY YOUR GARDEN MORE AND ADD VALUE TO YOUR HOME WITH A PERGOLA

A pergola adds height, structure and drama to a garden. The open lattice design allows light to filter through, creating a dappled shade and sun protection. Vines and climbing plants can be trained over the top to provide greenery and privacy. Pergolas transform an outdoor space into an architectural focal point.

Pergolas come in a range of materials, but aluminium is a top choice providing a classic yet very modern look. At Suns Lifestyle, our durable, low-maintenance aluminium luxury pergolas are powder coated in a choice of colours to suit your style. With minimum upkeep, they’re designed to weather all seasons. There’s a wide range of pergola styles and sizes to choose from including louvered pergolas and electric retractable pergolas. Ask our expert team to talk you through all the options and guide you towards the right choice for your property and lifestyle.

You can customise our pergolas with lighting, heating, seating, planters and more to create your ideal outdoor room. Add a dining table and chairs for meals on the patio, an outdoor lounge suite, BBQ and bar area for entertaining, or a full outdoor kitchen to embrace alfresco living. Rope lights or string lights will allow you to use the space well into the evening.

A stylish pergola will enhance your property’s curb appeal and can increase the value of your home. Pergolas create an impression of openness in a garden, bringing the indoors out and are an attractive feature for potential home buyers. The versatility and visual impact of a well-designed pergola will set your property apart.

The ideal location for your pergola depends on how you intend to use it and the type of atmosphere you want to create. A pergola offers versatility in any garden space. Here are some helpful suggestions of where to site your luxury aluminium pergola:

A pergola is the perfect complement to a paved or wooden area in the garden. Vines or climbing plants may enhance the space further, allowing the pergola to become a natural extension of the patio, providing shade and seclusion.

By placing a pergola above an outdoor dining table and chairs, you can create an outdoor dining ‘room’ – an intimate space purely for enjoying meals al fresco. Soft lighting and greenery overhead set the ideal ambience for dinner under the stars.

For a quiet and peaceful place to sit and relax, install a pergola in a tucked-away location in your garden. Surround the pergola with foliage, flowers or garden landscaping for added privacy and tranquillity. Adding comfortable furniture, mood lighting and decor creates a calm retreat.

Putting a pergola near a pond, stream or fountain spotlights the water feature while dressing up the space. The open sides of the pergola frame the view of the feature, drawing attention to this key point of interest in your garden.

A stylish pergola becomes a stand-alone centrepiece in any garden. Position the pergola in a place of pride where its striking form will be most prominent. A contemporary aluminium pergola works well as an eye-catching garden sculpture.
