When attached makes sense
Best when the pergola should feel integrated with the home
Attached pergolas are especially strong when the primary outdoor use happens directly behind the house. They help frame the patio, create a better transition into the yard, and make the home feel more open to outdoor living without the pergola feeling visually separate.
- Works well for back patios just off the home
- Helps create a connected indoor-outdoor feel
- Can make the backyard look more finished architecturally
- Strong for dining, sitting, and everyday shade near the house
