A pergola is an outdoor structure built with posts, beams, and rafters. An open design provides partial shade and adds architectural interest. Serview offers both attached and freestanding options.
A traditional pergola uses an open-beam or lattice design that allows sunlight through.A patio cover has a permanent solid roof and provides more complete protection from direct sun and rain. Serview also lists solid-roof configurations among its custom shade options, so confirm the coverage included in your proposed design.
