Thanks for sharing those inspiring structures. Whether called “ramadas” in the Desert SW or “overheads” in San Diego, there is really nothing that carries out the indoors outward than these.

And in the high desert, they take far less time to provide shade than a limited selection of arid-adapted trees, still only sold in diminuitive initial sizes!
Thank you for giving me more names…I live and work in the very conservative NE so pergola it is for me althoug ‘ramada’ sounds so much more romantic and ‘overhead’ not so much!–s

Enclosures are perfect for gatherings and provide a sense of coziness. The stick work pergola is great with the mix of stones.
Not many clients would understand without an image how sophisticated this mix of materials can be…–s

Pergolas are far and away one of my favorite garden structures. I especially love the last one with built in planters. How fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing. =]

I believe as people strive to become more in touch with the areas outside of their homes that we’ll see more and more of these types of outdoor structures being requested.–s
