Every garden deserves the right furnishings that not only fulfil a practical function, but also create a cosy and attractive place to relax. Among the solutions offered by Oak Grove Wood, wooden pergolas are a unique feature - ideal to create a relaxation zone surrounded by nature. Find out about their advantages and uses, as well as other possibilities that can enrich your garden.
What are wooden pergolas?
These are garden structures that combine aesthetics and functionality, offering the possibility to give any garden a unique character. They consist of horizontal beams supported by vertical posts, which creates an openwork structure, ideal for covering climbing plants such as ivy, vines, glycines or climbing roses. The pergola can be used to create a pleasant place to relax, protection from the sun, and also to support plants that will form a natural roof over time. Such a structure adds depth to the garden and can be integrated with other elements such as terraces or walkways. It can also be used as a decorative element to emphasise the style of the garden, creating a romantic nook, ideal for relaxing moments in the evening, or as a shelter along garden paths leading to further corners of the green space.
Wooden pergolas - what are their advantages?
One of the main advantages of wooden pergolas is their natural appearance, blending perfectly with the greenery of the garden. Wooden structures introduce an atmosphere of warmth and harmony, making the space more welcoming. In addition, wood is a durable and weather-resistant material and, if well protected, will last for many years. Pergolas are also functional - they provide shade during hot days and, when covered with plants, create atmospheric green gazebos.
Where are wooden pergolas best suited?
These structures work well in a variety of locations in the garden:
- By the terrace - they can stand by the terrace, creating a sheltered area for outdoor dining. This is the perfect solution for enjoying meals in nature while being protected from excessive sunlight.
- Garden entrance - a pergola can provide an impressive entrance to the garden. Overgrown with climbing plants such as ivy or glycines, it becomes a striking gateway leading into the green space, adding charm and eye-catching appeal.
- Separation of garden zones - they work well as a partitioning element between different zones in the garden. They can create a natural boundary between a relaxation corner and a children's play area, providing adequate privacy and order in the arrangement.
- Garden paths - these can also be placed along garden paths, creating a charming avenue that leads to hidden corners of the garden. This is a great way to add mystery to the garden and a sense of exploring new spaces.
- Relaxation corner - a pergola positioned over comfortable garden furniture creates the perfect place to relax. It can be fitted with additional curtains or blinds to increase privacy and protect from the wind, making it the perfect place to relax amidst the greenery.

How can wooden pergolas be decorated?
Wooden pergolas can be decorated in a number of ways to make them a real ornament in the garden. Fawn plants such as vines, clematis or ivy are a classic solution that make the structure blend harmoniously into the space. You can also hang lanterns or light garlands to create a romantic atmosphere in the evenings. Pots of colourful flowers, placed at the bases of the poles, will add charm and colour variety. Shelves for small ornaments, such as ceramic figurines or small flower pots, can also be installed. The pergola is also an ideal place to hang a hammock, adding to its attractiveness and functionality.
In addition to wooden pergolas, what elements might work well in your garden?
Wooden pergolas are not the only way to beautify a garden. Oak Grove Wood also offers other elements that can fit perfectly into a garden arrangement:
- Wooden garden blinds - provide excellent protection from the sun and wind, allowing you to regulate the level of sunlight and privacy in your garden. They are ideal on a terrace or gazebo, adding elegance and functionality to the space.
- Wooden sheds with roof - Practical and stylish sheds that can be used as a cover for a car, firewood or as additional storage space. They are robust, durable and provide protection from the weather.
- Wooden garden sheds - ideal for creating a cosy gathering place with family and friends. Gazebos offer shelter from the sun and rain while becoming the heart of the garden, where you can relax in peace and quiet.
- Fin canopies - modern and functional canopies that allow the level of sunlight to be regulated. The design of the lamellas can be rotated, allowing the degree of shading to be adjusted, providing comfort at any time of day.
