Hardwood pergolas designed and installed for Cape Town homes. A pergola does more than mark out a space: it manages sun on a west facing patio, shelters an outdoor dining area, and extends the months you can actually use your garden.
The articles below cover open slat, roofed and louvred designs, the timber options that suit Cape wind and sun exposure, polycarbonate and shade cloth roofing, and how a pergola pairs with an existing deck. We also look at what council approval applies to freestanding versus attached structures, and what a pergola costs per square metre.
