What Is a Free Standing Pergola?
A free standing pergola is an independent outdoor structure supported by its own framework. Unlike a wall-mounted awning, it does not require fixing to a building, making it ideal for gardens, patios, poolside areas and outdoor entertaining spaces.
Modern pergolas provide flexible protection from sun and rain while creating a defined outdoor living area that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
