Nashville loves a party, and the best ones spill outside. Here is how to build a pergola made for hosting.
Good entertaining spaces share a few things: comfortable seating, flattering light, shade from the sun, a spot to cook and serve and room to move around. A pergola brings these elements together under one structure.
We design pergolas for hosts, with layout for dining and lounging, built-in bars and benches, lighting layers, fans for hot nights and heaters for cool ones. We can add an outdoor kitchen or a fireplace and plan power for speakers and screens so music and the game are part of the evening.
Layouts for dining and mingling.
Warm and welcoming after dark.
Grill islands and bars planned in.
Comfortable in any season.
Power and mounting planned.
