Pergolas

A Pergola is an outdoor garden feature creating a shaded walkway, passageway, or sitting area of vertical posts or pillars that usually support cross-beams and a durable open lattice, often upon which woody vines are trained.  

Pergolas vs Arbors:

Pergolas are sometimes confused with arbors, and the terms are often used interchangeably. An arbor is generally regarded as a wooden bench seat with a roof, usually enclosed by lattice panels forming a framework for climbing plants.  A pergola, on the other hand, is a much larger and more open structure and does not normally include integral seating.
