pergola for my garden
I’ve been thinking about getting a pergola for my garden, but I’m really confused about the size. I don’t want it to feel too cramped, but I also don’t want it to dominate the space either. How do you go about choosing the right size? Any tips on how to measure or decide what’s best for my garden?

Hey! Great question. I totally get your concern. Choosing the right size is all about balance and what kind of space you’re working with. When I was picking a pergola for my garden, I started by thinking about how much of my garden I actually want covered. I measured the area where I spend most of my time – like the seating or dining area – and then chose a pergola that would comfortably fit over it without feeling too large or small. It's also helpful to leave some space around the pergola to avoid crowding the garden.
If you're looking for some inspiration or options, I found a great collection at this site. They have various sizes and styles, which really helped me visualize what might work best. https://closethedeal.co.uk/catalogs/pergola-gazebo A key thing to remember is that a pergola should complement the garden, not overwhelm it, so take into account your garden's layout and the size of your furniture. Have you considered what kind of style you're leaning towards?
