Pergolas & Ramadas
Every culture has its own special shade giving structure
Pergolas are a shade structure that everyone is familiar with.
This traditional European style is flat roofed and provides closely place planks to create shade beneath it. The closer together the roof boards are, the heavier the shade will be cast. The compass direction and that of the spanning roof boards also need to be taken into consideration for designing pergolas. The best shade structure results with the spans of roof boards are situated to throw their length’s shadow to the north. The pergola is very similar to the trellis ramada with an open top and sides for good air flow. Selecting the right style and shape can many times be completely up to the space you have for its erection and use on your paver patio’s layout.
Ramadas are very different in style and materials from the eastern styled pergola
