If, like us, you're planning on spending 80% of the summer months lying in your garden, a pergola is a must-have garden addition. The question is not whether you need one or not, it's how you should go about getting one: buy or DIY?
"A pergola is not just a decorative structure; it is also a sheltered space that allows for atmosphere in one piece of outdoor décor," explains Jamilyn Trainor. "Whether you are planning to feature a long table dinner or a garden activation, whether or not to buy or build can affect your schedule, budget, and the design freedom you may need."
